Let's face it. For those of us who came of age during the 1980s, gold jewelry can remind us of gaudy socialites who piled on the designer brands, perfume, and tacky jewelry to ostentatiously display their wealth. From bathroom faucets to silverware, back then, everything was dipped in gold. This turned me off of the jewelry tone altogether. I suspect that I am not alone. Until this year, anything gold sold very slowly in our store.
Gold has been back for a few seasons now, but it's taken many of us a while to warm up. Right now, we have a gold-themed display table in our shop. Far from glaringly tacky, the items we have on display are paired with muted warm hues like olive green, cream, rust, and espresso. The sunny look of the gold jewelry lightens and brightens these shades.
