    I personally do not. I have a silver watch. A silver and black ring. And don’t think I own anything gold. But many people do like the look.

    That’s the whole reason gold even has value, for 99% of human history it was worthless but people thought it was pretty so it became expensive.

    Gold things (jewelry) usually go well with warm colored clothes, think red, pink, orange, etc.

    Silver jewelry is better suited for when you’re wearing cool colored clothes.

      Yup. Also the more blonde / light brown hair color the better gold looks on you than silver.

      Also, I really like how dark skin and black hair look with gold.

      So for me, it’s really the medium to dark brown hair and maybe really fair skin goes well with silver.

      That’s just my personal preference of course.

      But on like cars and stuff? Gold is hideous.

    I know I don’t. I think gold looks incredibly tacky on me, so the only metals I wear are silver, steel, or titanium. I know a few people that adore the color of gold, or like rose gold, but value doesn’t mean anything to a person like me if they despise the way gold looks. There’s just something incredibly timeless about the silvery color metals that gold just doesn’t have I believe.

    I never did really, until a few weeks ago I found a gold bracelet type thing outside and wore it for a while. It’s not 100% my style but now I’m considering getting something else like it. It’s very thin which might help, maybe that makes it look nice but not too flashy.

    I used to dislike it, but i’ve noticed that it’s very complementary to my wife’s skin tone. Therefore, I’ve come around on gold.

    I consider myself a people, and I prefer my body jewelry to be gold if I can afford it. A few pieces are gold-colored anodized titanium (which are fading), but very prominent pieces are solid gold. I like yellow gold, not rose gold. I actually think titanium/“silver” looks more tacky than gold.

    But that’s just for pieces of jewelry that go into my body. For bracelets and such, I prefer brass, leather, and shades of brown. I don’t wear necklaces.

    Gold cars are disgusting though.

    I think it’s OK/good-looking on certain things. Maybe just because it’s a shiny pretty metal. But somehow, I don’t seem to own anything in shiny gold color.
