`Gold Teeth’ celebrates possibly the traditional goldsmith in the heritage area. Here we see, a customer point to her gold tooth and ask,” Can you turn this into a ring?”

The Goldsmith continues to create intricate jewellery using the most basic tools with his skills. Using a burner, he firstly melts a small amount of gold which is poured into a mould; once cooled, he cuts and shape the desired design, a time consuming process. As each of his pieces is hand, rather than machine made, and often is made to order, each is unique in its design.
