Aurelist is a term used to describe someone who possesses a keen interest in or collects gold objects. This interest can range from historical artifacts to modern jewelry, precious metals, or even artistic representations of gold.

Collections of gold can vary widely. Some Aurelists might be drawn to ancient coinage, while others might be fascinated by the intricate designs of antique gold jewelry. The pursuit can also extend to contemporary pieces, exploring how modern artists and jewelers utilize gold. The study of gold's properties, its history in human civilization, and its role in various cultures can also be a significant aspect of an Aurelist's interest. This pursuit often involves research, visiting museums, attending auctions, and engaging with other collectors or experts in the field. The term emphasizes a dedication to the visual and material qualities of gold and the objects crafted from it.
