Gold is up about 12% YTD.
Artists have always venerated gold, especially the Egyptians who enclosed their royal mummies in massive gold sarcophagi. Gold was thus always treasured for its solar symbolism associated with power and richness, as well as for its protective and timeless value
I am excited to participate in this inspirational collaboration with my friends Roy Sebag & Sunjoo Moon as Chief Artistic Director of Menē.

Menē The Name
Menē ("meh-ney") is an ancient Aramaic word linking jewelry, gold, money, & savings.
A "Menē", reflecting 567 grams of pure gold, is the first written word for "money" as codified in the Code of Hammurabi approximately 4,000 years ago.
For much of written history, humans exchanged value by pricing goods and services in units of "menē", which provided a predefined measurement of gold.
Those units were often ultimately settled as pure 24 karat jewelry that could be readily exchanged.
This ancient tradition, though often misunderstood by economists, is alive & well in the East where pure gold jewelry powers a savings economy in which jewelry is bought, sold, exchanged, and borrowed against as an asset that maintains its purchasing power.
Roy Sebag, CEO, Goldmoney Inc
Goldmoney is committed to continuous innovation, thought leadership in precious metals, and building a collaborative global ecosystem around all forms of commodity money.
We are thrilled to announce our investment in Menē and support of the tireless work of an incredible team of designers, manufacturers, and software engineers who have invested in the Menē vision.

What does transcend mean?
@nigelmarkdias It means to rise above.
Thank you, @ariscreates
Very interesting. I like how she equates wearable savings to jewelry. Definitely a different take. Her name attached to it probably helps too :-)
Gold jewellry has been wearable savings for thousands of years. @belidged
What you can do with name, business talent and being creative! :)
That's an accelerated beginning. @edje
Yep, unluckily for me, I dont have such brand I can use
You can build your own brand: Apple, Google, Amazon or a family one: Disney, Reuters, Tata, Rothschild..😊
Correct! Would be helpful if you can use your family name, like Paris Hilton, like this Picasso girl. Today those names are sufficient already to cash from the so many small minded people who just go for names :) But I hear you! Trying to build some brands as we speak :)
