The Gold & Wood Story: Luxury Redefined Since 1995

Gold & Wood stands as a testament to visionary craftsmanship and innovative design, founded in 1995 by Maurice Leonard in the picturesque town of Hosingen, Luxembourg.

The brand emerged from Leonard’s pioneering vision to create eyewear that transcends conventional boundaries, combining precious materials with sustainable practices to produce frames that are both luxurious and environmentally conscious.
