Gold Silver

Gold silver jewelry is a form of jewelry design that became quite popular around the world in the 1980’s. It was very common to see celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor and popular soap opera stars wearing heavy and bulky items that combined both real gold, and sterling silver. Besides being considered elegant and beautiful, gold silver jewelry was usually only something that rich women could afford. Most women that were not very wealthy could only afford imitation gold silver jewelry. Though silver is not super expensive, real gold was. In lieu of real gold and silver, some gold silver jewelry was brass and sterling silver, or silver tone. This was a very popular combination in retail stores, and department store catalogs.

Though gold silver jewelry seemed to reach its ultimate in popularity during the 1980’s, there are some timeless gold silver jewelry designs that will look nice at all times. In the 1980’s you saw a lot of braided jewelry like this. The necklaces and collars were made to look like thick braids, and twists, combining the two metals. This look is very dramatic, and usually is not for everyone, unless it is en vogue. If you like the look of gold silver jewelry, you will find that combining the metals with a chain and pendant, is a timeless, and elegant way display these two looks. For example, if you wear an elegant chain made of sterling silver, with a gold pendant, this is a nice look. If you wear multiple delicate chains made up of different gold and silver patterns, that is a nice look, as long as the chains are thin and feminine.

Another good look combining gold silver is artisan jewelry. A lot of jewelry artists combine gold and silver in pendants, and in bracelets. This gold silver is usually subtle and artistic, without being overwhelming and causing your jewelry fashion to look out of date.
