Gold is a naturally occurring precious metal valued for its durability, resistance to tarnish and lasting value. Pure gold is too soft for most jewellery, so it is commonly alloyed with other metals to improve strength. The purity of gold is measured in karats, with 24k being pure gold.

Founded in Britain in 1970, Jigsaw combines contemporary design with an emphasis on craftsmanship and quality fabrics. The brand works with its own atelier and produces many collections in limited runs, with a focus on distinctive pieces rather than high-volume fashion. Jigsaw also has a longstanding connection with British arts and culture through its Art Foundation.
