    I personally do not. I have a silver watch. A silver and black ring. And don’t think I own anything gold. But many people do like the look.

      I always preferred silver as well—stainless steel appliances, white gold wedding band etc. But I just visited my brother who has done his kitchen in dark green and brass, and I think I finally see the appeal.

      I personally like to cultivate yellow urine by dehydrating myself in the winter, what for giving my snow-writing art more “pop”.

    That’s the whole reason gold even has value, for 99% of human history it was worthless but people thought it was pretty so it became expensive.

      It’s not just pretty, it’s also useful. Going back a couple centuries, there weren’t many materials that were rust resistant and as malleable as gold. That combined with the aesthetic possibilities, and the fact that’s rare and difficult to obtain, is what made it valuable.

    I never did really, until a few weeks ago I found a gold bracelet type thing outside and wore it for a while. It’s not 100% my style but now I’m considering getting something else like it. It’s very thin which might help, maybe that makes it look nice but not too flashy.

    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.

    Value is just a measurement of how much someone is willing to pay for something, and people in general are willing to pay more for things that they like. I really don’t think it’s possible to separate value from the equation here.

    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.

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

    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.
