An uncommon material

Gold,
held in light.

Goldinglass India combines design, creativity and craftsmanship through a patented process that seals pure gold leaf between layers of glass.

The result brings the character of gold into functional objects, architectural surfaces and singular commissioned works—at once luminous, tactile and enduring.

The craft

A delicate process.
A lasting object.

  1. Arrange

    Pure 24k gold leaf is positioned by hand to form a full or mosaic surface.

  2. Enclose

    The gold is held between layers of high-quality clear glass.

  3. Fuse

    The assembly is kiln-fused using Goldinglass India's patented manufacturing method.

  4. Reveal

    Light brings forward the gold leaf's natural texture, depth and changing radiance.

Material standards

Every piece is handmade from genuine materials. The process uses pure 24k gold or pure silver rather than alloys, together with high-quality technical glass low in alkaline substances. Finished objects are suitable for interiors and outdoor applications.

Vacuum-sealed for permanence

A pure gold leaf is placed between two glass surfaces and fused in a temperature-controlled vacuum oven. Removing the air allows atmospheric pressure to press the glass layers together while heat completes the fusion.

This patented vacuum-sealed method is designed to retain the gold’s brilliance and durability while preventing tarnishing, colour fading, cracks, breakage, or diffusion of the gold into the glass.

From objects to architecture

The collection presents the material across jewellery, accessories, everyday objects, decorative and sculptural work, public interiors, private living spaces, and exterior architectural elements.
