Gold or Silver

I love jewelry. I have some gold jewelry, but have always preferred silver. I purchased a new pair of silver earrings yesterday and my youngest commented on how I always buy silver. That got me to wondering if many people prefer silver jewelry like myself. I just wanted to ask.

I love silver jewelry too. I actually don't really own more than 2 or three things that are gold, and all the jewelry that I make and sell in my store is also silver. I just think that it looks a lot better with my style and such than gold does. For anyone that's interested, my jewelry store is www.tangerinesunshine.etsy.com

I think I've found a kindred spirit. You seemed to understand that my question had nothing to do with value-everyone knows that gold is more valuable than silver-but I just think that silver suits a certain person's personality more than gold does. It has always been my preference, regardless as to what the price is.

Exactly. Gold just doesn't "fit" me. It doesn't look good on me, and I don't really like the look of it. When I got my class ring in high school I got white gold, because it still had the monetary value of gold, but it looked like "me"

I too am a gold girl I love gold and diamonds also, I have tried to wear silver jewelry and it just don't look right on me it does not compliment my skin tone like gold. I love yellow gold, I do not like rose gold or white gold.

Gold - I like silver too, but not in jewelery. I like silver artifacts and in the house - little niknacks - bells, teaspoon, cups and such things, but for jewelery - always gold.

Silver Celtic knot ring - a photo of a silver ring with the celtic knot design
I only have one thing that is made of gold and that is a cat's eye ring that belonged to my great-grandmother's brothers wife --boy that's a tongue twister, no?--I've worn it since god knows when and you might say it's a link to my ancestors...but other than that my preference has always been silver...and that might reflect a bit of my part Native American heritage since I wear a lot of silver and turquoise jewelry..Silver is also the preferred precious metal for some reason amongst us who follow a pagan/wicca path...Besides that gold ring, I always wear, and never take off a small silver pinkie ring, a turquoise and silver ring and a celtic knot design ring..

I definitely prefer silver jewelry. Most everything I wear is either sterling silver or silver-colored surgical steel. Gold just doesn't look good against my skin.

my husband loved silver, but I always loved gold. My fiance also loves gold but he is not big on jewelry anyway. He has one ring and that is it.

Definitely silver for me. I dislike gold as it can look brassy, whereas silver always looks cool! I make jewellery for a living and always use silver, however there is a relatively "new" metal out now called Argentium which is basically the same as sterling silver, but takes much longer to tarnish. Saves a lot of cleaning and messing around! lol

i rather like gold for its value. i rarely have any silver jewelry, just a few peices. i buy gold as an investment, also for their beauty and luster. i guess im just not into silver, though the prices of silver jewelry when you buy them are more cheaper than gold. i just really prefer gold.

One of my favorite subjects..silver jewelry...I love it!!! I never have like yellow gold..but I do like white gold and platinum..I have quite a collection of Indonesian silver bracelets and earrings...they are my favorite..I wear silver all the time..in all jewelry...watches, rings, bracelets, earrings, pendants,toe rings, you name it!! I don't know why I prefer it..I just think it's extremely attractive...Others wear yellow gold and I like it on them...but when I have it on it just doesn't have the attraction for me that silver does!!! Even though I am a true redhead and people tell me my jewelry should be in gold tones...It doesn't change my preference!!!

Almost all of my jewelries are made of gold.. earings, rings, necklaces, bracelets. The silver jewelry I have are just 2 pieces and I just use them once. Silver is not suited for me because of the nature of my job. I work with acids and chemicals and silver can easily react to these substances.

I love accesorizing.. I love jewelries.. i buy them depending on the style. if i found a silver jewelry that looks good on me, i buy it.If i found some gold jewelry and it's really irresistible, i save some money and i buy it. Gold jewelries are expensive that silver so I have more silver jewelries than gold ones.

I prefer white gold. silver is okay for everyday ornaments while gold is soo tacky. I dont know perhaps it doesnt look good in my complexion so I stay away from them :)
