This month will see a selection of handmade gold jewellery go on display at the Vail Valley art galleries in Colorado.

The designs by Dhylan Sherri will take centre stage at the galleries located in the mountainous landscapes of Colorado, reports Vail Daily.

Her 24 carat gold jewellery is made on the island of Maui and almost all her pieces are blended with gemstones, beads and pearls as well as incorporating ancient symbols and styles.

Ms Sherri illustrates herself that the first jewellers were craftsmen and metalsmiths with each piece made by hand and shaped out of metal and stones.

She continues to explain that in more modern ages the jeweller's craft became more specialised and casting started to replace hand fabrication.

However, Ms Sherri adds: "I make all of my jewellery myself, in 24 carat gold with natural stones… I hand-fabricate my work with the exceptional cast bead or found object."

It was revealed this week that a well-known Dubai-based bazaar is to offer a wide range of gold items at next year's Dubai Shopping Festival.
