Answer: Yes. I’ve always worn alot of jewelry, but I never wore gold. Seven years ago, I was given a tiny pair of 24 karat antique Chinese gold studs with a diamond fleck in each of them. Pretty! Now how can you not wear that! Here I am the girl who only wears silver with a pair of beautiful gold earrings. . . The first time I wore these earrings it was to a dinner at a formal restaurant and it was the only jewelry I wore. Wearing only one accessory was hard for an accessory junkie. It was like being naked. So the earrings sat in my jewelry box unused. I put them on with all my other jewelry. I just wanted to wear it all. It’s like that red lipstick, just put it on. I started playing with gold tones in the mixing of my accessories, including vintage belt buckles, mixing gold charms into my silver charm bracelets and now gold and silver are part of my daily look. I wear a pair of large gold hoop earrings, and a mixture of silver and gold bangles and a gold framed Gucci belt buckle made from an old handbag. This is my jewelry and how I roll.
