ith gold prices at press time
hovering around $5,000 per
ounce and continuing to break
records, jewelry crafted from the
precious metal has only grown
more valuable. All-gold designs exude a heightened
sense of glamour. In response, designers are embracing
generous golden forms: oversize chains, sculptural cuffs,
and substantial rings that feel unmistakably luxurious,
whether draped at the collarbone or catching the light
on a wrist or finger. As both adornment and asset, gold
remains the ultimate flex. —Randi Molofsky
