Gold Jewelry – The Midas Touch

Midas, the King of Lydia, was granted the power to turn anything that he touched to gold, as a reward for his hospitality. This Greek myth is testimony to the fact that gold has always been a coveted metal from time immemorial. Its precious lure caused Greeks, Aztecs and Egyptians to fight wars and even die for it.

It is fascinating to think that when you adorn yourself with gold jewelry, you are wearing a little piece of history.

A Gold Wardrobe

Gold is just the thing that will set you apart; nothing else can get you noticed as much as gold does.

Plan your dazzling new wardrobe by picking up necklaces, bracelets, brooches, pendants, cuff-links, rings and earrings; all in the glittering hue of gold. All you need to keep in mind is that the pieces of jewelry that you pick up reflect who you are and make a style statement. It is not an impossible task, what with the wide variety of designs and patterns that jewelers carry, you can select pieces for any occasion, style or taste. Of course it might be difficult to resist from scooping up the entire lot for yourself, but rest assured you will not have reason to worry about lack of choice.

Gold has the ability to redefine who you are; it stands out, ever shining and making an eye-catching statement of personal style and quality. Other products may fade with time, fashions and new trends may usurp them, but gold reigns forever.

One of the most extraordinary things about gold is that it is highly versatile and can stand for itself, it does not really need any other stones to enhance its beauty. This alluring metal has an innate sensual magnetism and can be molded to create provocative styles and designs.

Gold Earrings win hands down as the most captivating pieces of gold jewelry. They frame your face and add to your natural radiance. Worn any way - dangling, studs or chunky – earrings will enhance your features, play up your hairstyle and flatter the shape of your face. Take time to study the design that will suit your face. You are spoilt for choice with the traditional, geometric, contemporary, abstract and light weight designs that are in vogue.

Gold Chains and Necklaces create a stunning visual impact by accentuating necklines and highlighting the softness of your shoulders. Chains with a lot of movement and volume can jazz up a simple outfit. Necklaces with subtle fringes and clean lines can be worn anywhere, anytime. Show off your elegant neck by wearing a gold choker necklace. Stacking single, thin gold strands and wearing more than one long chain is the ultimate fashion statement, this must be done tastefully, with utmost care and you will turn heads wherever you go.

Gold Bracelets and Bangles are what you need when you want to wear light, whimsical and airy pieces to frame your delicate wrists. But chunky bracelets and bangles can also be worn when you want them to be the strongest accessory on you. Wrist wear is an absolute necessity in any gold wardrobe.

Bangles are made of a continuous gold tube with no joints and they remain sturdy and rigid. Bracelets are bits of gold chains joined together with gold links and adorned mostly with dangling charms or stones. The charm bracelet is an enduring favorite; the contemporary charm designs are a sight for sore eyes.

Gold Brooches are more unusual, but if you wear them well, you will definitely get noticed. A sophisticated look for the evening with a contemporary brooch, business-like, bold but small ones for the office, playful and trendy for a party, there are many looks to choose from.

Whatever be your favorite piece of accessory, when you buy a new style for the first time, always try on different pieces and even contrasting styles to pick the one that suits you best. Gold is timeless and anytime is the right time to plan for a new gold wardrobe or revamp your existing one.
