Carla Williams on Solid Gold Business Card Cases

There is an undefinable, almost mystical sensation when you hold a solid gold business card case in your hand. Much has been written about the "feel" of pure gold and I can attest to it. It is indeed an extraordinary metal.

But producing a solid gold business card case poses special challenges. Gold won't tarnish, rust, or corrode, and though it's very strong, it is also the most malleable of all metals. Thus, anything and everything related to the manufacturing and jewelry process has to be carefully managed. Even the card case hinge is solid gold -- and that takes some doing.

There are a number of people involved in the creation of each card case, but the main person is the actual goldsmith. He forms the solid gold sections and hinge, carefully finishes them and then joins them together. Each solid gold card case is made by hand and each case is unique in its own way.

The elegance and warmth of a Mondriani card case

The biggest obstacle to creating the Mondriani card case was finding a goldsmith with the skill, machinery, tools and quality controls to form an otherwise soft metal into a functional work of art. Since solid gold is so malleable and since we use no fillers of any kind in our card cases, the goldsmith has to produce a case that opens and closes reliably, yet can also withstand both the manufacturing stages and the rigors of day-to-day life. This is not an easy task.

Although there are many details that must be addressed, the real secret is to make the gold a certain thickness so it doesn't easily bend with pressure. Our Goldsmith is a true artisan and has established just the right thickness. This proves to be an effective approach, though it does add to the cost.

But that's also how you get the heft of each case, which is considerable. 100 grams is a lot of gold. It is common for people who hold our solid gold business card case in their hands for the first time to want to keep on holding it -- because they simply like the "feel" it provides.

The result of all this intricate detailing and attention to minutiae places the Mondriani card case in the realm of fine jewelry, yet it also exudes warmth and sensuality. It is a pure expression of elegance, success and enduring beauty.
