The role of gold jewellery in personal identity and self-expression.

We have been wearing gold jewellery since the dawn of time as a form of self-adornment. Gold can also be a status symbol due to its association with wealth and riches, but what lies beyond that? Self-expression and celebration of our personal identity have been rising in popularity, and gold jewellery can play a large part in helping us embrace who we are!

Gold jewellery can drop hints of your personality.

Whether you prefer subtlety or statement pieces for your wardrobe, the types of gold jewellery you choose can say a few things about your personality!

Minimalist:

Subtle and delicate, these jewellery pieces are incredibly versatile, suitable for any occasion and can blend in with a wide range of outfits. Aficionados of minimalism are meticulous and careful planners, as well as rarely jump into a situation without a plan. They may also thrive in fast-paced environments, capable of adapting to different situations.

Statement pieces:

Brave and unafraid to carve out their own path, fans of statement pieces mostly love being in the spotlight. You may find that they do not follow the crowd and are confident in their ideals. They might also find leadership roles coming to them easily due to their charismatic nature.

Contemporary:

Gold jewellery now has designs that reflect the ever-changing contemporary styles of our times. Those who gravitate towards such jewellery may have an adventurous personality and are always eager to try new things!

Classic:

There is a nostalgic beauty in gold jewellery that draws inspiration from classic designs. Exuding an aura of familiarity and individuality, those who prefer such jewellery are free-spirited and tend to go their own way.

Gold jewellery can showcase your values.

Self-expression can boost our psychological well-being, as it is what makes us unique as human beings! You are not just limited to doing so through clothing or hairstyles, but also through gold jewellery.

Beliefs:

Are you an environmentalist? Do you prefer pacifism? Or are you passionate about providing equal opportunities for education You don't have to walk around with placards to show your support for these causes. Pairing your outfit with jewellery that is inspired by these values, such as a leaf or flower for lovers of nature, and a peace sign for pacifists.

Personal Traits/Characteristics:

Most of us are constantly striving to improve ourselves, wanting to be better people than we were yesterday. This is where gold jewellery can help us! You can select pieces with symbols for traits you would like to improve or acquire. An example of this could be anchors, which can symbolize calm and composure, a leaf for rebirth and growth, and a lotus flower for hope and transformation.

Gold can connect you to your heritage.

In many cultures, gold plays an important part in their traditions. This is also true for families that  have treasured heirlooms such as gold jewellery that have been passed down through generations.

Family Heirloom:

Each heirloom tells a unique story as it has passed through the hands of multiple generations. A family can strengthen their bond and have a sense of belonging by reminiscing and sharing the stories that come with each piece of gold jewellery. Furthermore, you can heighten the connection you feel towards the past generations when possessing or wearing a piece of heirloom jewellery.

Cultural Significance:

Culture, for some of us, may play a part in forming our personal identity. Having gold jewellery with symbols of your culture can give you a sense of belonging. It can also serve as a reminder of your roots and help you take pride in who you are.
