    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.

      I always preferred silver as well—stainless steel appliances, white gold wedding band etc. But I just visited my brother who has done his kitchen in dark green and brass, and I think I finally see the appeal.

    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.

      It’s not just pretty, it’s also useful. Going back a couple centuries, there weren’t many materials that were rust resistant and as malleable as gold. That combined with the aesthetic possibilities, and the fact that’s rare and difficult to obtain, is what made it valuable.

    Really depends on the colour scheme. But dark blue and gold, or black and gold can look dope in my opinion.

    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.

    Yes? I have a slightly more yellow undertone, so silver washes me out. Gold just looks better.

    I also enjoy gold accents when used sparingly in interior decoration.

    I prefer silver jewelry (on myself at least), but for furniture type things gold is alright.

    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.

    No. Not at all. It looks tacky and people that flaunt it are usually fake-rich. I don’t mind spending money on quality things, but Gold does nothing for me.

    I think its ghastly

    Only reason i have a gold ring is because the wife insisted. I like the ring because my wife is awesome, and it reminds me of her.

    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.
