If you were thinking about selling your old yellow jewelry, stop and think again! Don’t sell that beautiful gold because guess what! Gold jewelry is back in a big way! While sterling silver certainly seems to have overtaken yellow gold in popularity these past few years, it is actually still very much in style and just as fabulous as ever. However, there are some important Do’s and Don’ts for wearing this jewelry and some ways to optimize your look using golden accents. The best thing about gold is that it makes a much stronger statement than silver does because of the way it contrasts against the colors of the clothes you are wearing. Silver is a lot more neutral than yellow gold and therefore sometimes has the tendency to fade into the background. Gold jewelry is usually right up there in the foreground making a scene.
These necklaces, bracelets, and earrings look great with emeralds, blacks, and blues. Be careful when wearing gold on yellow. I almost never wear gold and yellow together because the combination is really hard to get right. Gold on yellow doesn’t provide a whole lot of contrast and usually ends up looking very cheap which is the opposite of what you want to accomplish. Try wearing prints with gold, but nothing too wild. A geometric print utilizing two colors looks really nice with gold. Try emerald and cream prints or a black and cream print with your fabulous gold jewelry. Gold even looks great with teal! Lately, even celebrities are donning gold jewelry from golden cuffs to golden hoops and golden cocktail rings.
One commonly accepted rule for wearing gold is that you should not mix wearing gold and silver. at the same time. While this rule is true in most cases, there are a few exceptions to the rule. Personally, I wouldn’t wear a sterling silver necklace and pair it with gold earrings. That wouldn’t make sense. However, there are ways around this rule. Take stacking bracelets. If you get gold wit the right coloring, it can look really great mixed with other metals like silver or bronze. Just make sure your layered look of mixed metals doesn’t look tacky. You cannot force this look. If you are not sure, just stick with one type of metal and don’t worry about mixing your gold jewelry with anything else.
Some people also tend to layer too much when they wear gold jewelry. You do not need 10 gold necklaces, gold hoops, gold rings, and an armful of gold bracelets. A healthy amount of layering is very trendy and in, but if you wear a bunch of bracelets, don’t overpower the look with a huge gold ring. The same goes for necklaces. If you layer a few gold necklaces, don’t wear huge gold chandelier earrings. Keep it simple and keep it classy and you won’t go wrong wearing gold jewelry this holiday season.
