Jewellery designer, Rajvi Vora, digs deep into the history - from the ancient civilisations who venerated it, the folklore that warns of its darkness, and to the adventurers of the 19th Century Gold Rush. Why has there always been such a fascination with gold across all cultures? (Photo credit: Kastur Jewels)
