Description
The Goldsmiths Company received its first royal charter in 1327 and is one of the Twelve Great Livery Companies of the City of London. Nearly seven centuries on, its work centres on supporting craftspeople, protecting consumers and funding charitable activity.
The craft and trade of goldsmithing are supported through The Goldsmiths' Centre, which provides training, education and promotion for artisans. Consumers are protected through the Assay Office, which tests the quality of precious metals and checks the nation's coinage each year in the Trial of the Pyx. The Goldsmiths' Company Charity runs initiatives aimed at improving lives, and the Company also acts as a cultural contributor to the City and beyond. Careful management of its finances keeps the institution on a long-term footing.
