It seems perception can be a distraction that compromises the authentic
statement. Sometimes technical factors can easily be misinterpreted
when not tested. An over abundance of copper salt on a heated gold/
copper diffusion area can appear as soldered and too easily dismissed as
a fake. Then there are the devious deceptions of submitted art works that
become part of the jewellery corpus and a primary reference in the further
authenticating of artworks. The destruction of our history of material
culture is a consequence. So returning to the personal question, ¿Is it
valid for a goldsmith like myself to `play¿ with these issues?¿ Working as a
goldsmith it is very easy to build fictitious jewellery. Is it a sin if it is just a
goldsmith ¿at play¿?
