Gold has fascinated humans for about as far back as we can trace civilization. Used historically as a symbol of status, gold’s role in the world changed after 1972. The Mint and Coinage Act was passed by the US Congress, establishing a fixed price of gold and becoming legal tender in the US. Since then, the gold standard has consistently fluctuated.

In recent times, the pandemic drove up the price of gold. Now, as the world struggles to get back under control, gold levels are slowly heading back to a stable level.
There is no better time to start growing your gold jewelry collection! More than any other type of gold, yellow gold has had the greatest surge of popularity in the last year and a half. From editorial pieces to social media, there is a push for bold yellow gold jewelry. Influencers are wearing layered yellow gold chains, bulky rings, 14k paperclip earrings, and bracelets with gold charms.
Even engagement rings have been following the trends and favor yellow gold settings over the previously more popular platinum and white gold. This newfound popularity makes sense! The precious metal is known for its rich gold color that is highly reflective and does not tarnish.
