It is year 11 with our May is Gold Month<\/strong><\/a> partnership and this year we want to take a moment to talk about just how much the price of gold has gone up since one year ago. Better yet, let\u2019s go back to when we had our very first partnership \u2013 this brings us to 2014 where gold prices in May of 2014 were about $1300 per ounce. \u00a0And now we are at a record high of $3300 per ounce!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our jewelry community has been constantly talking about the steady rising prices of gold<\/strong> and I am continually seeing designers and jewelry brands putting out statements regarding price increases for their pieces. This topic has become a part of our daily scroll and it doesn\u2019t seem to be backing off at all. As someone who makes a living from selling fine karat gold jewelry, it is an interesting time! As a collector, I don\u2019t expect my pieces to increase in value \u2013 they already bring me so much joy (something you can\u2019t put a price on) but to have them monetarily increase in value is an unexpected reward. As a buyer and seller, it is tough to see something you typically used to pay a lot less for become exponentially higher \u2013 it sometimes goes against my instinct! Sometimes I have to actually do the math now or else I\u2019d sell myself short every time!<\/p>\n

With such an increase from last year\u2019s average price per ounce for gold \u2013 up about $1000 per ounce \u2013 where does that lead us?! How do you feel about buying karat gold right now? Are you starting to see it as an investment?<\/em> For me, gold will always be a precious metal I desire. Jewelry is my favorite thing \u2013 out of all the things on this gigantic Earth, jewelry is my absolute number one. So whether the value of gold is $5 per ounce or $5000, I will be scheming or plotting on what my next piece will be to add to my collection.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m excited to talk about all things gold every week<\/strong> and get everyone to participate in showing me their gold<\/strong> like years in the past, focusing on what you\u2019re wearing in real time. I also would love to help you with this year\u2019s theme of \u201cgold as an investment\u201d by sharing pieces I\u2019ve had for years and show how you can style them with newer acquisitions. Gold never goes out of style and hopefully I can convey this each week!<\/p>\n

Ok lastly, here are this year\u2019s gold jewelry trends from May is Gold Month<\/strong><\/a> and ways I\u2019ve styled each one. Let this help you plan your posts over on Instagram and don\u2019t forget to use the hashtag #ShowMeYourGold<\/strong><\/a> when sharing.<\/p>\n

Week One: Gold Bracelets<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This past year I\u2019ve learned how important it is to make the right investments when it comes to gold bracelets. Out of all the categories of jewelry, I personally think that bracelets get the most wear and tear. They\u2019re constantly being banged against tables, on keyboards and everything in between. I have slowly traded in my semi-hollow bracelets for solid karat gold, and although all gold when worn 24\/7 will get scratched up (there\u2019s no way of preventing scratches or dents), solid pieces hold up better in the long run. That\u2019s not to say I don\u2019t have any semi-hollow bracelets in my collection, because I do! And many are my favorite \u2013 I just know not to wear them 24\/7. I now refer to my bangle stack and my mini stock market on my wrist.<\/p>\n

Week Two: Gold Rings<\/strong><\/h4>\n

As a collector, I always gravitate towards rings that have some heft to them \u2013 I wanna feel like I\u2019m wearing \u201carmor\u201d on my fingers. It is like a security blanket! Heavier, solid rings are also a better choice in the long run in terms of longevity. I\u2019ve noticed buyers have been feeling the same way. As a seller, I\u2019m getting asked more and more to see extra photos of the inside shank of a ring or the gallery of a ring \u2013 customers are wanting to see if areas of the ring are hollowed out. All of this is totally a preference, but keeping that in mind when buying rings is a great tip! Do you want to save money and opt for a lighter-weight ring? Or do you want something solid with no shortcomings?<\/p>\n

Week Three: Gold Hoops<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I know I\u2019ve been saying how much I prefer solid vs semi-hollow karat gold jewelry, but when it comes to hoops, I prefer as lightweight as possible! This is when semi-hollow is necessary for me. You can\u2019t go wrong with a classic gold hoop \u2013 I\u2019ve been enjoying trying on different styles by changing up things like thickness, diameter and posts vs. snap bars. Small tweaks to those categories can totally change the vibe of the piece. I\u2019ve also been loving hoops that are interchangeable in some way \u2013 like dangling charms off of them \u2013 or even these puffy stars that slip on and off these slim oval hoops (available on shopGemGossip<\/strong><\/a>) they\u2019re so fun!<\/p>\n

Week Four: Gold Necklaces<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Are we still loving that layered gold necklace look?! For the most part, I think we do. And if there\u2019s any new trends happening in this sector, I\u2019d like to note the rise of connectors, clasps and bits\/bobs that add finesse, structure and fun ways of wearing things. Connectors are for people who think outside the box \u2013 those who really take a moment to thoroughly analyze how to get the most out of what and how much they can wear. As a collector, sometimes I think connectors are for those that are headed to \u201cpro\u201d status when it comes to styling. Sometimes I don\u2019t even consider myself worthy of connectors because life has yet to afford me some decent jewelry styling time, but when that time comes I\u2019ll be sure to share with you all \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Week Five: Gold Earrings<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Last year I was really into chain earrings and this year I\u2019m loving puffy and doorknocker styles done in karat gold. This current lineup in the photo above are all my favorites I\u2019ve been wearing lately. I honestly can\u2019t pick a favorite. I\u2019ve noticed these styles have been effortlessly elevating my look \u2013 especially on a busy day, having to drop everything in between work and mom life while scrambling to the car pickup line at preschool. If there\u2019s anything I like to do to look halfway decent at Gino\u2019s school, it\u2019s a quick eyelash curl, change into a pair of jeans and add earrings! Instant pick-me-up for school pickup.<\/p>\n

Week Six: Men\u2019s Gold<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Last year I talked about how my husband had been selling pieces of karat gold that he doesn\u2019t wear anymore and now, knowing where the current price of gold is at, I wish we waited to sell! \u00a0But there\u2019s no way we could\u2019ve known how much the prices would increase and same goes for buying as does selling. There\u2019s never a perfect time! There\u2019s no way to predict! My advice would be to live for the present \u2013 buy things that make you happy without putting you into debt and sell things you are ready to part with and won\u2019t regret selling in the future. One of those things my husband almost sold was his extremely heavy and thick cuban link bracelet. This thing is SOLID and weighs nearly 113 grams! I remember talking him out of it and he\u2019s very happy that he didn\u2019t sell it. He wears it whenever we have a special occasion and he really treasures it now \u2013 especially knowing he almost sold it!<\/p>\n
