    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.

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

    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.

    As an accent material? Take my money any day of the week. As the base material? Nah, I think Silver does a better job there.

    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.

    Depends on the game. I really like the gold revolver in rdr2 story mode. I didn’t expect to but it’s pretty awesome.

  • I disliked gold, and preferred silver, until I got older. I’m convinced it’s social programming, in my case. I learned to like gold, because of decades of being told how valuable gold is.

    Why do I like deep blue? Why does anyone like any color? There’s probably some evolved reason for those preferences; for instance, many creatures are attracted to shiny things.

    In any case, I’m also interested in any scientific answer you get, but I wanted to put out there that I have annecdotal evidence that there’s a lot of learned (nurture) preference, combined with some evolved preference (shiny, nature).

    It’s been valued for so long it would be hard to separate from aesthetics. Like, it’s pretty much as old as metalworking in general.

    Consider how you’d feel about a blue-coloured metal. I think that would be neat, but it doesn’t have the “classy” feel that gold does, and that has to be cultural.

    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.
