My obsession with gold

If you met me for the first time in the past year or two it would be hard to imagine that not very long ago I only wore silver, all through school I hated gold, I thought it looked tacky and ugly and gold jewellery was for old women – old Asian Auntyjis to be precise actually.

Since my trip to Burma this has all changed, I’ve learnt to embrace my Asian side and with that the love of gold – and my, how fully have I embraced and grown and developed and honed my love for gold jewelry since! From huge gold earrings to gold bracelets and anything that is a gold statement piece, I have, crave, love and want them all…here is a little selection of some pieces I’m currently lusting after:

Well, basically if I think about it now, there’s no reason not to love gold (and I mean love passionately with all your heart) – it’s beautiful, classic, valuable (read: investment rather than cheapo jewellery off the highstreet though you now only have 1 lovely piece instead of 25 pieces of trash for the same price – quality vs. quantity?) and goes well with any other colour really?!

Here are some stunning gold earrings (they are H-U-G-E but weigh nothing – light as a feather, so delicately made & so comfortable to wear!) I bought in December (kind of a Christmas present to myself?):
