Which metal do you prefer (or have more of)?

When I got into jewelry collection, I started out with the gold/yellow. I later went to silver since it reflects so much. There's some gems I would say that only look good in the yellow, I go by how that looks. Now, I love the sparkle of the silver. Like I say, it's

I'm a gold girl.   Diamonds in platinum or silver lose their sparkle next to my skin.  I have some silver, but I prefer white gold which has a different cast to it.  Still, yellow or rose gold will always be my favorite with bronze or even copper for costume pieces.

I have a jewel box full of yellow gold pieces that I don't wear anymore. Sometimes it makes me sad because they are so pretty, however I just feel better wearing white metal these days. I sold some of the gold pieces, but some have special meaning, so there they sit.

MUCH prefer gold, but with the prices so high, the last several items I have purchased have been in either sterling silver or stainless steel. However I have purchased 2 or 3 10K yellow gold rings from JTV.

Def silver, white gold.  Not a fan of yellow in any form, and I have never liked gold.  White looks better on me any way

I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend, til death, your right to say it

Love them all! But I think white metal looks better on me, I am very fair . My favorite metal is 18K gold, white, rose, yellow. And I love my silver too, especially silver/palladium alloy.

Yellow gold but I have trading off with white gold and platinum.  Most of the times I wear pearl strands and studs so it doesn't matter which color the clasp is.
