Shell gold, so named because it was historically made and stored in a shallow shell such as a mussel shell, consists of finely powdered genuine gold mixed with a variety of gums.

Our Shell gold is used by calligraphers, framers, restorers, iconographers and watercolour artists. In recent years our colour range of genuine gold has been extended and genuine Lapis Lazuli and genuine Malachite have also been added.
