I always used to wear silver but the last few years I have bought more gold - particularly anything matt/antique style.

I'm generally a silver person. Chunky (that's me and the silver Wink). Can't do delicate, generally.

I didn't wear gold for years, but now I wear it more than I wear silver. Well, gold coloured jewellery anyway Grin

I love skinny slithery jewellery in gold. Chunky is what my mum and all her social worker mates wear
