Gold Plated Ornaments

Same as you, I don't like wearing plated jewellery. In fact I dont have any because of the same reasons you gave above. If you were plated ornaments to a party where most people know you and your financial ability they might make wrong conclusions like, hey i think she is pulling a doze with a rich old man or I think she stole it from somewhere" such like comments can taint your name. I prefer those plastic and colourful ornaments to match with the clothes I wear to coated ones. Thanks for bringing this up.

Sad to say I can't wear gold plated, my skin is too acidic. They loose it's color in just a short while. So I just wear semiprecious stones if not the real ones.

i don't own any gold-plated ornaments or accessories. i don't like glittering gold accessories. but i do have a gold ring and gold earrings and both are real. they were given to me by my mother. and they don't really glitter. i wear the ring everyday and i only take it off when i'm taking a bath. i seldom wear the gold earrings. except from these two, all my accessories are silver. from earrings to bracelets to watches. and even necklace. everything is silver. i prefer it than gold. probably because of the same thing that you said. people will think i'm rich when in fact i am not. ans somehow, i view gold as color for old people. ^__^;; because the people that i usually see wearing gold are old.
