How To Source Gold Medals In Pretoria
When a business organisation or a sporting code wishes to acknowledge a performance which is either the best on the field or the best in its class or simply reflects an extraordinary effort by the recipient then almost always they choose to source a gold medal. Pretoria businesses and sports clubs can source these medals from a reputable trophy and medal supply shop or manufacturer. The use of gold has been recognised as symbolising greatness for thousands of years. Gold is chosen because it is recognised as a noble metal. It does not tarnish or degrade in any way due to the effects of the weather.
Gold coins have even been recovered from the ocean after hundreds of years showing no ill effects after their prolonged stay in the ocean. It is these properties that make an occasion out of a function to award a gold medal. Pretoria residents can also find out where to source their gold medals by doing a quick search for trophy and medal suppliers in the Gauteng area. The suppliers of gold medals will also be able to offer advice on the best way to engrave such medals so that they show of the beauty of the metal to best effect.
Whether your sporting code makes its home in Johannesburg, Cape Town or Pretoria gold medals will always be appreciated by their recipients who will proudly display them in their homes. These gold medals signify achievement above and beyond the mundane and a gold medal is sure to be a talking point wherever it is found, be it in a trophy case at the club or on the mantelpiece at home.
There is nothing like the shine and beauty of a gold medal. Pretoria or Johannesburg residents can contact us for more information on where to source gold medals and the options for personalising these awards.

Recognise A True Winner With The Presentation Of Timeless Gold Medals
There can be no metal that has featured more often in stories of daring and heroism than gold. The metal is the mainstay of tales which kept us riveted as children, of pirates in secluded coves burying chests of precious coins for retrieval when the Royal Navy has been given the slip. Aside from tales of one legged buccaneers, gold has been recognised as one of the noble metals, sink it below the waves for centuries, bury it in mud to lie hidden for centuries and when finally it sees the light of day once again it will be as pristine as the day it sank below the Earth. For this reason gold has been seen as a symbol of purity and strength for millennia and the reason we present our top performers with gold medals.
Gold medals such as those presented at the Olympic Games cannot usually be simply chosen from a line up on a shelf; they must be specially minted and cared for if the soft ultra high carat metal is not to suffer from being handled. Very few gold medals are made from perfect 24 carat gold which is soft enough to be harmed by rough handling, in fact apply too much pressure to 24 carat gold and you’ll likely leave a fingerprint or two embossed on its surface.
High quality gold medals are therefore usually manufactured from gold which has been adulterated with another medal to make it more resistant to wear. In fact many of the gold coins retrieved from shipwrecks and other architectural sites are usually worth more because of their historical value rather than their gold content which was watered down over the centuries.
That said gold medals are the ultimate recognition of outstanding performance and should you choose to present one to a deserving party it is almost guaranteed that it will be a treasured piece of memorabilia for many years to come.

Make An Impression With Custom Medals
Walk into any shop that sells trophies and custom medals and you will be astounded by the amount, the sheer variety of medals and other awards that can be found lining the shelves in the shop. But if you look closer you’ll also find that you’ve seen medals and trophies like them, or at least very similar being handed out at junior sports days across the country. These mass produced trophies are not only cheap to produce, but are easy to source, there are really very few occasions when the generic trophy chosen or one which looks very much like it will be out of stock.
If you want to make an impression and make sure that the trophy you hand to the team member, be it at a sporting event or at a sales recognition event at the office then you’re going to have to take it one step further and take a look at having custom medals produced. Custom medals can be made up in a variety of designs, including those which feature the corporate logo and an inspirational message for each of the team members. Because the medals have been custom made, each of them can feature a different inspirational message which is applicable to the sporting or business event where it is presented.
Custom medals can also be awarded to the team as a whole. Because there is very little limitation on the size of the custom medal a good idea would be to present each team member with their own custom medal and then have an oversize medal produced which can then be displayed in the clubhouse or in the relevant department in the office.
The manufacturing of custom medals can use a variety of different materials, from wood, to epoxy, to metals like gold, silver and bronze, however there is obviously a cost implication depending on which of the materials is used.
Want to know more about custom medals? Then contact us.

You can choose from a variety of metals for your custom medals to be made from. You can also choose to have the medals engraved or etched with any information that you would like reflected.
