Between the two, which one do you think appears to be more expensive, silver jewelry or gold? Which do you prefer to wear, silver or gold? Do you have more of one than the other? For fun, share your bling, bling thoughts.

Gold jewelry is more expensive than silver. But I prefer the look of silver so I often go for white gold if I'm buying nice jewelry. It has a look like silver but better quality. Platinum is the most expensive tho I think...

...Hi kedalynn, Yes, for sure gold is more expensive than silver, especially now. I love silver jewelry, but really like pieces which combine the two. White gold is beautiful as well, love the look. Platinum is a bit beyond my reach, so I admire it from afar. Gold is always very attractive and compliments your wardrobe. Thanks so much for your reply, take good care.

I think gold jewelry is much more expensive than silver jewelry. There is 9 carrot gold which is quite pricey. There is also 18 carrot gold which is much more expensive. There is white gold which is very pricey indeed. I think gold looks classy. I like to wear 9 carrot gold earrings because then I don't have an itching problem and irritation. I like silver jewelry and it is cheaper to buy than gold. It is called sterling silver. When I was younger I liked to wear silver jewelry because it was stylish and affordable. I used to wear jewelry but these days I usually just wear my watch. My baby girl would try to touch and pull at any jewelry I am wearing.

....Hi there maximax, Gold does have a very expensive look to it, you are correct in my opinion. I love a gold and silver combination in a piece. I like my silver jewelry because it is understated. Now a days gold jewelry is considered an investment with gold values going so high. But as well I don't wear much jewelry these days either. Thanks so much for your response. Take care.

i tend to like silver better than gold because it looks more impressive, you can get bigger pieces with not that much money laidout.

...Hi there cher, You and I feel the same. I love silver pieces. Gold is gold, it is rich and expensive looking. Silver is more subtle to me and classier in some respects than gold, but it is a matter of taste. I do like pieces which combine gold and silver, I think it is such a great look. Thanks so much for your thoughts. Take very good care.

Of the three precious metals i.e. Silver Gold and Platinum Gold is the most stable chemically. It is alo the metal with the most attractive shine. Platinum ia more expensive and harder but its shine is not attractive. One must artificially take a liking for Platinum. Thus obviously Gold looks really really expensive and attractive.

...Hi there GADHISUNU, I am one who likes a combination of real gold and silver jewelry. I think it has a great look. I used to buy gold jewelry a lot but recently not so much of any kind of jewelry. The gold I have I am keeping more as an investment rather than wearing it. Thanks so much for your quality information. Take care.

...Hi there Professor, Gold is like the penthouse. It is very smart looking and rich. I wear a very small gold and diamond bracelet which never fails to get me compliments all the time, even though it is a very discrete piece. I do like silver for its classy look as well. Your family has very good taste. Thank you so much for your response. Take care.

...Hi rhinarea, I love, love, love silver jewelry. I think it is just the classy looking, as you feel the same about gold. I like pieces as I have mentioned that are made of both gold and silver together. Gold will always hold its own as it is so rich and expensive looking. The price of gold has been going through the strastosphere. So an investment in gold is well worth it. Thanks so much for sharing, take care.

Gold jewelry appears to be more expensive than silver. But as for preference, I like wearing silver accessories more. It's not too flashy on the eyes and besides I tend to have some allergic reaction to gold. So I go for silver jewelry.

...Hi there moonchild, Gold has that look if you will. I do like silver and someone mentioned platinum, which I don't think I have ever purchased, but it is very nice. You mentioned being allergic to gold, I am not allergic to it, but if I happen to purchase a piece that is not real gold, my skin breaks out which is awful. I love pieces that combine silver and gold as well. Thanks so much for stopping by. Take care.

...Hi weasel, I think that I really love pieces which combine gold and silver, I like that look. What does thou mean? Silver jewelry is very elegant while gold is naturally rich looking to me. For some reason I happen to think that silver is classier looking but that's just a matter of opinion. I saw a show last week where someone was questioning an economist about buying gold as a hedge on inflation, the man said buy spam, you can eat it you can't eat gold. So that kind of puts it all into perspective. "o) Thanks for your response, take care.

I prefer to wear accessories instead of jewelry which are silver, gold or platinum, however last december my boyfriend gave me a gold ring and I like it very much so this year we are getting engaged and I am again getting a gold ring so I think I will opt for the gold now.

...Hi med889, Congratulations to you, very good luck in the future. Gold is the top of the line so to speak. Silver is beautiful and classy, as well as elegant, but gold holds its own in every way. Gold and silver combined in a piece of jewelry is my favorite. I love that look. But gold will always have a guaranteed value and will always look the part. Thanks for sharing and take good care.

..Hi frontvisions, Ahhh a silver watch, sound nice. I once treated myself to a silver watch with what looked like three faces, but two of them were beveled, very attractive piece. I think silver looks more elegant even though gold looks richer. I do as I mentioned elsewhere in the discussion, love having a piece of jewelry that combines gold and silver together. Thanks so much for stopping by. Take care.

Golds comes to be more expensive,as we all know these is one of the most valuable minerals practically use as the original money the is, use and was considered to be as the real currency .Another thing is that, some pawnshops does not accept silvers to be pawned, although silvers to looks good in fashion as in jewels,most of the people use to prefers gold as the more expensive one.

...Hi varron, You are quite right, gold is the leader of the pack. Currently the price of gold is going through the roof. I like the look of silver, it has a certain elegance. Gold is and always will be rich looking just because it is gold, that expensive nugget that you speak of. Gold can and will hold its own. I do like pieces of jewelry which combine the two, it makes for a nice combination of style. Thanks for your response, take good care.

For me, I think the gold jewelry looks more expensive than silver. I want to wear gold because aside from it looks better on me, I am also allergic to silver jewelry, it makes me itch. I dont know why.

...Hi kharlav, Gold does look more expensive than silver. If I happen to buy a piece of gold jewelry and it is fake, or gold plated, I break out in a rash. So something in our skin reacts from the metal or substitute metal causing some kind of allergic outbreak. I love silver jewelry and combined pieces of silver and gold I think are very attractive. Thanks for your response and take care.

...Hi there xeroeight, Silver has a certain appeal to me as well. It's the subtly I guess. I happen to think silver has a very elegant look. Gold is gold, and the richness is apparent. I love pieces which have a combination of the two, I really like that look. Used to be quite a collector of different pieces, not so lately. Thanks so much for your input. Take care.

...Hi there nancy, I love the look of real gold, it is just so rich looking. I love silver jewelry as well. As I have stated gold and silver combined in one piece is a favorite of mine. Gold is always the standard because it is gold and it looks so very rich and expensive. I love silver, when I was in Mexico a long time ago, I was able to pick up a few pieces of silver and tourqoise jewelry which I loved. Thanks so much for your response, take care.
