Gold or Silver Jewelry - Which is Your Best Option?

14k Gold and Sterling Silver Jewelry Made in the USA Available at Clothed with Truth

The debate between the appeal of gold compared to silver jewelry is long-standing. Many women have a definitively clear preference between wearing one or the other. Want to know if gold or silver jewelry suits you best? Here are a few considerations to help you decide...

  • Skin Tone - Gold jewelry can wash out pale skin tones, yet brighten up others. Gold looks best against warm skin tones, while silver jewelry is the best bet for cool skin tones. Not sure if you have a warm, cool, or neutral skin tone? One tried and true method is to observe the veins in your wrist in natural light.
      -  People with cool skin tones tend to have veins with a blue/purple tint.
      -  People with warm skin tones tend to have veins with a green tint.
      -  If the veins in your wrist appear to be a combination of both blue and green, you have a neutral skin tone and both silver and gold will look fabulous on you.

  • Personality - Much has been written about what your color preferences reveal about your personality. While these notions may either hold true or be completely inaccurate for you as an individual, the following traits are associated with your preference for gold or silver jewelry.
      -  Gold = timeless, classic, traditional, stable, strong, joyful, and luxurious.
      -  Silver = innovative, trendsetting, modern, free-spirited, practical, and down to earth.

  • Clothing Color - Your choice between selecting gold or silver jewelry to complete an outfit may be influenced by which color you've chosen to wear. Certain clothing colors lend themselves effortlessly to gold or silver accents.
      -  Gold jewelry looks especially appealing set against soft earth-tones and warm fall colors.
      -  Silver jewelry looks best accompanied by bright colorful jewel tones and cool winter colors.

  • Investment - Selecting high quality jewelry, created either in gold or silver, consistently pays off in the long run as well made pieces can last a lifetime or beyond. Jewelry passed from one generation to the next makes each piece even more meaningful and dear to the wearer.
      -  Silver is an affordable alternative to gold making it easier to expand your jewelry collection. If you like to change up your look frequently, rather than rotating between a few signature pieces, silver may offer the most versatility without breaking your bank.
      -  If you prefer the look of gold, but are not yet ready to make the investment, consider selecting jewelry created from other warm tone metals, such as brass or copper, as an economical alternative.

  • Lifestyle - Your level of physical activity, particularly outdoors, throughout the day plays a role in whether gold or silver is best suited for your lifestyle.
      - Gold jewelry requires no regular cleaning/polishing and is more scratch resistant than sterling silver. Although gold is a bit more carefree in terms of maintenance, it's higher price-point may make losing or damaging it worrisome for those with a particularly active lifestyle.
      -  Silver jewelry is prone to tarnish if not worn regularly and requires a bit more upkeep to maintain a gleaming shine. If you prefer the look of sterling silver jewelry, but want to avoid the maintenance, consider selecting jewelry designs created from fine-pewter which does not tarnish.

  2. How to Clean and Maintain Sterling Silver Jewelry
  3. How to Clean and Polish Fine Pewter Jewelry
Ultimately, the choice between gold or silver jewelry boils down to personal preference. Choose whichever metal makes you feel confident and joyful...or...don't choose at all. As they say, variety is the spice of life, and the rules of fashion have changed. While traditional style considered it taboo to mix metals, these days it's perfectly acceptable to  mix and layer silver and gold jewelry to your heart's delight.

    Fruit of the Spirit bracelet

    This company is the best company I have worked with in a long time. If could I would I would give them 100 stars. They were easy to work with, very kind and their main goal was to ensure I was satisfied with my bracelet. I did have to return my bracelet only because of my preference and they made the process so easy. They even called me to better understand what I wanted. It was an amazing experience. I would recommend this business to anyone and everyone. Thank you for displaying Christian principles in your business.

    Exceptional Product & Customer Service

    Best customer service I have experienced in a while! I placed my order for a personalized dog tag with a Bible scripture and the very next day I got a phone call from them verifying the proof they emailed me. They wanted to make sure that I was going to love it before they sent it to me! So kind of them to go the extra step...and the jewelry is Sterling Silver and not cheap junk. I will definitely order from them again. This company operates with integrity and kindness!

    This bracelet is perfect for the women and teens in my life. The packaging is beautiful, too, saving me wrapping time. Shipped quickly and I received a personal phone call to help me clarify and update my order. The best customer service and personal touches I’ve ever experienced.

    Exactly as promised!

    And in our world today we are so use to being disappointed it was breathe to my soul to receive these beautiful bracelets exactly as pictured and on time. While we know this isn’t always possible I particularly appreciated all the communication I received as the bracelets were in process and transport as well as the sweet note from the owners that was enclosed in the packaging. Thank you! You made me feel like I was getting a gift!

    Will make this my go-to for shopping for inspirational/faith based gifts

    I reached out to the owners because I needed some larger quantities for an event. I was thrilled with the prompt and professional response. Deborah really was able to help with different choices and personalization's that made our gifts extra special. I cannot say enough about dealing with people who truly care about their customers --it SHOWS! It is a pleasure doing business with them, and everything I ordered was so very true to picture and much better quality than I was expecting for the cost. Really exceeded expectations!! I would highly recommend them for church groups, bible studies and anybody needing a beautiful gift. THANK YOU!

    What a breath of fresh air to have a small business with excellent customer service. The item I ordered was shipped promptly. The day I received the item was a particularly stressful day so when I opened the package, I was pleasantly surprised to receive the item in a beautiful bag/box with a handwritten thank you note on the receipt. It certainly brightened my day and reaffirmed that there are good people in this world. I will definitely be purchasing again from Clothed With Truth. Thank you!

    What a special place to shop!! Clothed with Truth was so helpful to me in ordering a gift for a dear friend. They are top-notch in customer service and support, going out of their way to send my order so it was received on time. My friend loves her new bracelet, too! They also enclosed a special gift note! Thank you for a great experience and I will be back!

    Amazing Company

    This was the most thoughtful and meaningful company I have purchased from in quite a while. They were impeccable with customer service, showing care and concern through confirmation emails, and thank you cards included in the package. I was very impressed with the level of care taken through each step of the process. I truly appreciated this as the time of the purchase was one of loss and sadness. I am grateful for the pointed effort to reach out to their customers. This company is true to their name.

    Absolutely beautiful jewelry and WONDERFUL experience!!

    Everything about this order was absolutely perfect! The customer service is top notch. Seriously, the best I’ve seen in a very long time and I am an avid online shopper.
    The extra details truly make dealing with Clothed With Truth such a pleasure! I will certainly let my family and friends know about their wonderful services and products.
    From the moment I placed the order, I knew exactly what was going on with it and where it was.
    The piece is absolutely beautiful! I am beyond excited to give it to my niece as she makes her First Holy Communion this Saturday! The bracelet came in a white box with a pink ribbon around it, PLUS a pretty gift bag!! But wait, there is even MORE!! They sent a penny with a cross in it and a wonderful blessing! That will be an additional gift to my niece...and so special and heartfelt. I hope she will have it in her shoe on her wedding day one day!

    Again, just an overall wonderful service. HIGHLY recommend! You will not be disappointed at all. And last, but certainly not least, it arrived so quickly!! Just a few days.

    Amazing Trustworthy Company!

    First time I've ordered from Clothed with Truth. I'm always hesitant to order on line. I will not hesitate to order from Rhett and Deborah at Clothed with Truth again. Not only are they trustworthy but amazingly efficient in their mailing process - took only 2 days to receive! The 10 Bethlehem Olive Wood Comfort Crosses (small palm size) were each unique and beautifully packaged. Such creative packaging and extra personal touches...coin cross card and exquisite business card - even handwritten Thank You on billing invoice. They are a Gift from God! *I'm doing my best to be a PR person for them !

    While the mobius bracelet I purchased is a Christmas gift, I so enjoyed the entire experience of dealing with this shop. Delivery was timely, prices reasonable, and God honored throughout the entire experience. So unusual in today's market place. I absolutely will return to them in the future.

    Absolutely beautiful and the most caring people you'll do business with!

    This bracelet is of really sturdy handmade quality, and the engraving is crisp and beautiful with an artisan flair. Speaking with Deborah to help me find the right thing for me was such a pleasure, and never in my years of shopping online have I encountered such godly and caring people. Never hesitate to order here! :)
