Silver or gold?
 
So, I'm a total jewelry freak.....and I have both a lot of gold jewelry and a lot of silver jewelry. I really like both, but seem to wear silver more.....probably six out of seven days I have on silver jewelry. I think it just goes with the color of a lot of my clothes better.

What are your preferences?

sherbertlemons 01-29-2004 12:44 AM

I am a silver girl all the way! :) The only exception to my all silver jewelry rule is my key.

RedRoseSAI 01-29-2004 12:52 AM

Gold. It flatters my coloring MUCH better than silver ever could. I know it's not trendy but oh well.

Dionysus 01-29-2004 01:00 AM

Silver.

This ain't the 90's (unfortunately)! Even those "thuggin" have toned down on the gold.

MeLikey 01-29-2004 01:06 AM

I like silver better... I went through a phase in high school when everything had to be gold, but not anymore. I'll still wear gold--my grandbig gave me a gold lavalier so I'll wear that and small gold ball earrings. If I'm wearing silver though, the rest of my jewelry has to be silver too, it's just a thing I have.

pheenix 01-29-2004 01:16 AM

Silver for me.

juniorgrrl 01-29-2004 01:36 AM

Silver! I dont' own but maybe 2 or 3 things in yellow gold.

My engagement ring is platinum (although all I asked for was "not yellow gold").

I hate hate HATE the two tone look (its like black shoes with a brown belt, to me), so the more silver-tone jewelry I get, the more I will wear it exclusively. It's like a viscious cycle.

damasa 01-29-2004 01:36 AM

I don't know...

But I think the silver looks pretty bling on thess guys:

1 more vote for silver. I have a few things that are gold that I'll wear occasionally, but I'm a silver kind of girl.

Sister Havana 01-29-2004 02:16 AM

Most of my jewelry is silver, although I have some gold that I wear.

AXJules 01-29-2004 05:03 AM

Silver, although white gold is ok w/me.

The official "rock" has got to be platinum, tho!

Celestia*Shine 01-29-2004 05:04 AM

I've been wearing silver all my life. I definately think that it accents my skin tones and my hair better. My mom always tells me that when I get older I will want to wear gold because its more dignified. I highly doubt that I'll ever change because I love silver so much. But I guess I'll never say never...

Jill1228 01-29-2004 05:07 AM

Gold. I think I am the only one that favors yellow gold. Yellow gold looks better against my skin. My wedding rings are yellow gold.

But my lavaliers are silver. I do want a yellow gold one

breathesgelatin 01-29-2004 05:17 AM

I like both (but not at the same time!)

mu_agd 01-29-2004 08:14 AM

silver.

but i agree with jules on the official "rock" being platinum!

FiReKraCkEr 01-29-2004 08:22 AM

I do both silver and gold...depends on what I'm wearing. If I wear one peice that's gold...everything else must be gold. Same with silver.

xok85xo 01-29-2004 09:05 AM

the only yellow gold i own is my badge and my lavalier, since i am an alum i almost never wear either. so i'm definately a silver-tone jewelry girl :)

honeychile 01-29-2004 09:06 AM

Always and only yellow gold.

Silver/white gold just feels wrong on me. My initiation pin is white gold, and it's the very last thing I've bought in white gold. When I wear it, I do mix the yellow & white golds - simply because it's now the only white gold piece of jewelry I own.

AOX81 01-29-2004 09:20 AM

I usually only wear white gold.

Same for me. Most of the jewelry I wear is either silver, white gold, or platinum. (and most of it was given to me by my husband!)

Ginger 01-29-2004 12:18 PM

Most of my jewelry happens to be yellow gold. Same as others have said. I don't particularly care either way, but all of the jewelry that's been bought for me has been yellow gold, so I guess it will continue to be.

My engagement ring is two tone yellow and white gold. I don't know whether I should get a gold or white gold/silver/platinum wedding band. Neither one looks right.

GeekyPenguin 01-29-2004 12:25 PM

I'm a silver/white gold girl myself. The only yellow gold things I own are my diamond earrings (and you can't tell they're gold), my two-tone Gamma Phi Beta badge, and my gold rescued badge. Yellow gold is just not flattering on me.

And I want my official rock to be white gold. Platinum scares me.

DigitalAngel126 01-29-2004 02:20 PM

I've never been crazy about gold...Doesn't go well with my complexion and it's more expensive than silver!! :p

AlphaFrog 01-29-2004 02:28 PM

Definatly white gold, but for awhile I've been wearing yellow because my boyfriend gave me a set of yellow gold earrings/necklace and the reason he did that is because my ring (mystic fire topaz) couldn't be found in white gold so he gave me some pieces to go with it...no, it's not the offical rock either...it's a symbol of me being true to me...the offical one must be white and diamond....

Peaches-n-Cream 01-29-2004 02:36 PM

I have a two toned watch so I can wear either yellow gold or silver/white gold jewelry with it. I usually wear yellow gold because I have more of that. I have some pretty silver and white gold jewelry so sometimes I wear that.

KillarneyRose 01-29-2004 04:12 PM

This thread makes me remember when my college boyfriend bought me a silver necklace and bracelet for Christmas and I literally burst into tears when I opened the box. I was so worried that all my sisters would think my boyfriend was a cheapskate because he didn't buy me gold! lol

Back to the question at hand, though. I have lots of gold and lots of silver so I guess I am covered whichever way the fashion winds blow. My engagement ring is platinum, as is my eternity band but my "everyday" wedding ring is platinum with yellow gold edges. And, of course, my Badge is yellow gold!

LSUquadkid 01-29-2004 04:40 PM

I"m definitely a silver lover. Gold does look good sometimes, but it has to be with the right outfit for sure! You can never get sick of silver though...

rainbowbrightCS 01-29-2004 05:17 PM

I love silver or white gold. Almost every thing I have is white gold. But silver shines better.

adpialumcsuc 01-29-2004 05:24 PM

White gold for me

Sugar_N_Spice 01-29-2004 06:19 PM

I wear silver virtually every day of the week b/c I like thje ay it looks better with the colors of the clothes I wear, and if I'm dressed casually (silver jewelry in my mind seems to be more casual and everyday-looking). But if I am wearing tan or brown then I may switch to gold for that day. I do think that gold flatters my skin tone though better than silver. Lucky for me I have lots of jewelry in both colors. :)

Steeltrap 01-29-2004 06:32 PM

Both
 
I wear either silver or yellow gold, depending on several factors. Yellow gold looks nice against my skin tone. But if I'm wearing cool colors (such as a turquoise top and navy pants), or if my hardware on my handbag is silver-tone, I switch to silver.

aephi alum 01-29-2004 08:20 PM

Silver/white gold/platinum for me.

The main exceptions are (1) my wedding ring, which is two-tone white and yellow gold; (2) my class ring, which I could have gotten in white gold but traditionally it's yellow gold; and (3) my badge.

This is why I'm so annoyed that we can't customize our badges... I'd probably wear mine more if I could have gotten it in white gold. :(

Hush yo' mouth.

You'll be lucky just to get a rock so don't be picky.

Remember Jules, you are going to want the guy to marry you and that means he'll have to put up with your ass too. Getting a platinum setting should be the least of your worries!!

What I was saying is that she shouldn't worry about the rock, she should worry about the man.

Know what I'm sayin' sayin'?

The cold is affecting my brain?

Maybe I will bring printouts of rocks to my study date tonight. Or would that scare him off?

Buttonz 01-30-2004 02:23 AM

I like silver but always wind up with gold
