Why Gold Shines in Jewelry Craftsmanship

Gold is the feel-good metal, the serotonin of jewelry. Wear vintage and antique gold necklaces, watches, gold bracelets or gold rings and you feel happy, you feel dressed, you feel, well, yourself. 

Gold, especially yellow gold, with its rich patina and ancient pedigree going back thousands of years, is the steady standby, the well-mannered metal of choice. Any discussion of this lustrous metal comes down to a basic truth: Gold is elementary, my dear. Gold jewelry that couples the mystique of the metal with superb design and craftsmanship achieves the status of an enduring classic. Many luxury houses have given us some of our most treasured and lasting examples of gold jewelry over the years.

Since its founding, in 1837, Tiffany & Co. has built its reputation on its company jewelry as well as its coterie of boutique designers, which has included Jean Schlumberger, Donald Claflin, Angela Cummings and Elsa Peretti. There are numerous gold Tiffany classics worth citing. Some are accented with gemstones, but all stand out for their design and the workmanship displayed.

For the woman who prefers a minimalist look, the Tiffany & Co. twist bangle (thin, slightly ovoid) is stylishly simple. For Cummings devotees, signature pieces feature hard stone inlay, such as her pairs of gold ear clips inlaid with black jade (a play on the classic Chanel black and tan), or bangles whose design recalls ocean waves, with undulating lines of lapis lazuli and mother-of-pearl. And just about any design by the great Jean Schlumberger is by definition a classic.

Even had he eschewed stones and diamonds, Southern-born David Webb would be hailed for the vast arsenal of heavy gold jewelry he designed. Gold, usually hammered or textured in some manner, defines great David Webb jewelry. The self-taught jeweler made very au courant pieces while drawing inspiration from ancient and out-of-the-way sources — East meets West in the commanding gold necklaces made by Webb in the early 1970s. The same could be said for his endlessly varied gold cuffs.

In Europe, many houses have given us gold jewelry that sets the highest standard for excellence, pieces that were highly sought after when they were made and continue to be so. 

Numerous designs from Cartier are homages to gold. There are the classic Trinity rings, necklaces and bracelets — trifectas of yellow, white and rose gold. As a testament to the power of love, consider the endurance of the Cartier Love bracelet.

Aldo Cipullo, Cartier’s top in-house designer from the late 1960s into the early ’70s, made history in 1969 with the Love bracelet. Cipullo frequently said that the Love bracelet was born of a sleepless night contemplating a love affair gone wrong and his realization that “the only remnants he possessed of the romance were memories.” He distilled the urge to keep a loved one close into a slim 18-karat gold bangle. 

BVLGARI and its coin jewelry, gemme nummarie, hit the jackpot when the line launched in the 1960s. The line has been perennially popular. BVLGARI coin jewelry features ancient Greek and Roman coins embedded in striking gold mounts, usually hung on thick link necklaces of varying lengths. In the 1970s, BVLGARI introduced the Tubogas line, most often made in yellow gold. The Tubogas watches are classics, and then there is the Serpenti, the house's outstanding snake-themed watches and bracelets.

A collection called Monete that incorporated the gold coins is one of several iconic BVLGARI lines that debuted in the 1970s and ’80s, catering to a new generation of empowered women. Just as designers like Halston and Yves Saint Laurent were popularizing fuss-free ready-to-wear fashion for women on the go, BVLGARI offered jewels to be lived in

Since Van Cleef & Arpels opened its Place Vendôme doors in 1906, collection after collection of jewelry classics have enchanted the public. As predominantly expressed in a honeycomb of gold, there is the Ludo watch and accessories, circa the 1920s, and the golden Zip necklace, 1951, whose ingenious transformation of the traditional zipper was originally proposed by the Duchess of Windsor. Van Cleef's Alhambra, with its Moroccan motif, was introduced in 1968 and from the start its popularity pivoted on royalty and celebrity status. It remains one of VCA’s most popular and collected styles.

Mention must be made of Buccellati, whose name is synonymous with gold so finely spun that it suggests tapestry. The house’s many gold bracelets, typically embellished with a few or many diamonds, signified taste and distinction and are always in favor on the secondary market. Other important mid-20th-century houses known for their gold-themed jewelry include Hermès and Ilias Lalaounis.

Questions About Amethyst And Ruby
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    An amethyst is believed to have healing properties. It is a stone of spiritual protection and purification that many believe has the power to cleanse one's energy of negative influences.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Siberian amethyst is a gemstone prized for its dark purple color. The gemstones are much rarer than the redder variety commonly used to produce jewelry and decorative objects. Most come from mines in Uruguay, Siberia and the U.S. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Siberian amethyst gemstone jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    Amethyst can be worn in gold and the two combine well together given their complementary coloring. Because amethyst is a hard stone, it is also safe for everyday wear.
    1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021
    Yes, you can wear amethyst with gold, but it's not the best metal for this gemstone. The popular choices are silver and platinum. The white metals enhance its bluish undertones, whereas the warm metals help it look more regal. Find a variety of gemstones on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021
    Yes, amethyst can be different colors. They occur in primary hues such as pale violet, light lavender and deep purple. Amethyst may also exhibit the secondary hues of blue and red. Find a variety of amethyst jewelry and other gemstones on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021
    Not many stones are as beautiful as amethyst. Indeed, vintage and antique amethyst jewelry has innumerable fans, and February’s birthstone has many unique attributes. Ancient Greeks and Romans believed this wine-colored quartz would keep them from getting drunk. Amethyst is a purple quartz, its beautiful violet hue — which can range from a light pink to a deep purple — is the result of irradiation, trace elements and iron impurities. Find amethyst jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021
    Amethyst has also been used to make jewelry such as beads, cabochons, tumbled stone, faceted stones, and many other ornaments. As it is believed, amethyst jewelry helps to reduce rage and keeps you calm. Find an exquisite collection of antique and vintage amethyst jewelry from different periods on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The dark purple Deep Russian amethyst is largely considered one of the rarest high-grade amethysts. However, rare does not always equal sought after. The value of the amethyst may depend on the labor needed to facet the semi-precious stone. You can shop a collection of expertly vetted amethysts from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Whether or not amethyst rings are durable is largely a matter of how you define the term. Amethysts have a hardness rating of 7, making them resistant to scratching. However, you can still damage an amethyst ring if you wear it while performing household chores or engaging in intense physical activity. Shop a selection of amethyst gemstone rings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The best way to tell if a ruby is a pigeon’s blood ruby is to take the gemstone to a licensed jewelry appraiser. Although you can attempt to identify the stone from its coloration, an expert can give you a more definitive answer. You'll find a wide variety of expertly vetted ruby gemstone jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
