Hello GrayViners,

I hope your day’s off to a good start, with something comforting in your mug and a little pocket of peace somewhere in your schedule.

Here’s a fun question I’ve been turning over lately:
If you had to pick one, would you rather wear only gold jewelry or only silver?

Some people naturally gravitate toward one or the other. Maybe you love the rich warmth of gold, or maybe silver’s cool, classic feel is more your style. For some of us, it shifts with time, taste, or even the seasons.

As for me, I’ve always had a soft spot for gold. There’s something about its glow that feels a little nostalgic, a little elegant, and always special. Even the simplest gold piece adds a touch of warmth that just feels right.

So now I’m curious:
Which would you choose, and what made you fall for it?
Was it a gift, a fashion phase, or just what looks best on you?
And have you ever tried switching sides?

Let’s talk favorites, memories, and the little details that make us feel like ourselves.

Love,
Sophia

Gold used to be my answer, but I have learned to wear silver, too. If a shirt has silver bling on it, silver earrings, it is.
Otherwise, it depends on if I am warm blooded, or cold-blooded that day!
 
I like gold. Makes you feel you're dressed up, a little bit elegant. Today you have to be careful where you wear jewelry. They will rip the necklace off your neck, it happened to a friend of mine in New York city.
 
For me it most likely will always be SILVER! When I entered the Air Force my longtime pastor gave me the gift of a silver cross. My engagement ring and the matching wedding ring were silver. I’m hooked on silver! What choice do I have? Lol 😏

I love both. I usually wear Gold but I have lots of silver too. It’s not frowned upon anymore if you wear a mixture of both at the same time although I seldom do that.
 
I wear both all the time. My watch band is silver, gold and copper. I only wear rings and necklaces if I am going out somewhere or weddings (only wear the rings if they fit that day).
My everyday is my earrings and watch.
