Myths and legends

For for long years People associate the color yellow with wealth and prosperity. It is the color of monarchs, high society, which has boasted luxurious jewelry for many years. The more jewelry there was at court, the better. But in the East, yellow is a symbol of the energy of the sun, which ennobles a person and helps him get rid of health problems. However, for many years it was believed that gold should not be worn:

To young girls.
Thin men and women.
Representatives of the fair sex who were born in winter or autumn.

In general, gold was considered the metal of mature, fat and wealthy citizens who ate, drank a lot and were sick. So, in order not to get sick, they wore a lot of jewelry on their arms, necks and even legs.

It was not for nothing that alchemists tried to turn iron into gold, they needed to cure a large number of nobility, who at that time suffered from gout, heart and vascular diseases. Believing in the healing power of rings and chains, rich people wore kilograms of gold, believing that it would save them from diseases.

They were partly right; gold has several beneficial properties:

saturates the human body with solar energy;
helps stabilize the functioning of the heart and blood vessels;
lifts the mood.

A precious metal product received as a gift will help you feel better and will undoubtedly make the owner happy.

But all these rules applied only to yellow metal, the shade of which was considered warm and sunny, but with white gold everything is much more complicated.

Girls born in winter.
Brunettes and red-haired fashionistas.

Women and girls with bright eyes.

All women and girls whose skin tone can be classified as white should buy jewelry made from this metal. They will perfectly highlight the whiteness of the skin and complement the image of an aristocrat.

It’s not that blondes are contraindicated, not at all, it’s just that the color of such jewelry is in harmony with dark and red hair. On girls with light-colored hair, the products will not look so impressive.

Eye color also matters; metal goes well with light eyes, green, blue and gray.

If the ring or earrings are not massive, then a girl of any age can wear them. Decorations big size- This is the prerogative of older women. If we talk about men, then there are no such restrictions.

It is also worth combining correctly cool shade and the shine of gold with stones; in most cases, jewelry is encrusted:

diamonds;
emeralds;
sapphires.

If the product is encrusted with diamonds, and the stones are not too large, then a girl under 35 years old can wear such jewelry without fear. If the jewelry has large stones, then women should wear it more mature age, from 40 and older.

This rule applies not only to diamonds, but also to other stones. For girls under the age of 30, it is advisable that the product be decorated with pink, red or yellow color, turquoise and amber are worth considering as minerals.

There are several more rules for wearing jewelry made of this metal:

Should not be combined with.
Do not combine with jewelry.

Costume jewelry is worn separately and is not combined with jewelry made of gold or silver. You can put together several sets of jewelry and leave it at that. But excess decoration is also a sign of bad taste.

Silver is worn separately. Despite the external similarity, silver is a cheaper metal, for this reason it is not combined with gold.

But there are exceptions to any rule. One of these is the ability to wear platinum and white gold together. Another exception is the designer’s decision to combine several metals within one piece of jewelry, which will smoothly connect with each other, changing color.

Other rules
