Wear Gold, Win Gold During 'May Is Gold Month'


May is Gold Month


Did you know? May is Gold Month and it's in its 11th year, celebrating the love of all things Karat Gold, from fashion-forward to everyday classic gold jewelry. In honor of this fashionable anniversary, I'm sharing one of my favorite pieces of gold jewelry from my personal collection - my 14 Karat Gold antique "snake" ring from my Grandmother. It's meaningful because it's unique, just like my Grandmother, and the gold offsets the tiny diamonds and rubies (my birthstone!) so well. I love to layer it with other delicate gold pieces, like my initial ring, and some gold bangles. May is the perfect time to wear gold since the weather's warming up and gold pairs beautifully with colors like coral, turquoise and white. It's also the perfect time to treat yourself to gold must haves (think classic hoops, the perfect gold chain bracelet or gold boyfriend watch). Plus, gold makes a great gift, from Mother's Day and graduations, to bridal showers, weddings and anniversaries!
