There is no jewelry that bridges the gap between “basic” and “bling” quite as successfully as gold. It is just as appropriate on the red carpet as it is on the baseball field. Gold manages to be versatile in an effortless way; here are some of the very best ways we encourage you to go for the gold.

Gold hoops have been worn by women (and men) throughout the centuries and throughout the world. They are not only iconic, but flattering and stylish. It is hard to go wrong with hoops made of gold - but certain designs will suit your style better than others. Wide, simple, and twist hoops convey a classic look, whereas angles introduce a more edgy style. Hoops can be organic and fluid, or polished and sophisticated, depending on the weight and shape of the form. Don't forget to think about crafting a group if you have multiple piercings; a collection of small huggies and loops or a collection of mini gold diamond studs or fun geometric shapes can be a unique and curated look.
Chains, Chains Chains!
Yes, chains are the key element in holding your favorite pendant, but they also can really shine when worn alone. If you study the various types of gold chain, you’ll start to see just how beautiful they are themselves as jewelry pieces. If you’re questioning what style is best for you, general advice is to go for more traditional styles for your investment pieces; a heavy gold chain is a lifelong investment, but well worth it for its beauty and longevity. Layering chains is a popular fashion statement today, and it can be done with various lengths, styles, and numbers of chains. If you love dressing with a long chain, splurge on a 38" or longer, and wrap it double when you need a short chain. Basic pendant chains are classically 18" because it is very versatile (layered shorter for a choker look, longer for a long chain look).
Gold Rings

The words “gold ring” may have you thinking of a smooth, flat, traditional band style, but there are lots of options for polished or textured dome rings, or even the scalloped signature design of a “shrimp” ring. Anything you wear on your hands is something you have to expect will be exposed to the elements of daily life, so invest a little in your classic style and save on your fashion pieces. Signet rings are designed to be cherished through the ages, so when you’re purchasing one, focus on getting a quality die struck piece that compacts the metal and resists dings and dents.

Gold has the ability to take something quirky and make it instantly fashionable. So don’t be afraid to adorn yourself with any gold piece that puts a smile on your face. Gold pendants can run the gamut, from a rustic ancient talisman, a whimsical bumblebee, or a sleek modern paperclip design. A perfect example is the gold carabiner pendants and charm holders that are trending right now. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box with a thick, heavy, gold bangle or an industrial style link bracelet. Or turn that old gold charm collection into pendants or on a strand. Gold allows you the freedom to play with your own personal design expression and always look right on style.
