Why Gold Shines in Jewelry Craftsmanship

Gold is the feel-good metal, the serotonin of jewelry. Wear vintage and antique gold necklaces, watches, gold bracelets or gold rings and you feel happy, you feel dressed, you feel, well, yourself. 

Gold, especially yellow gold, with its rich patina and ancient pedigree going back thousands of years, is the steady standby, the well-mannered metal of choice. Any discussion of this lustrous metal comes down to a basic truth: Gold is elementary, my dear. Gold jewelry that couples the mystique of the metal with superb design and craftsmanship achieves the status of an enduring classic. Many luxury houses have given us some of our most treasured and lasting examples of gold jewelry over the years.

Since its founding, in 1837, Tiffany Co. has built its reputation on its company jewelry as well as its coterie of boutique designers, which has included Jean Schlumberger, Donald Claflin, Angela Cummings and Elsa Peretti. There are numerous gold Tiffany classics worth citing. Some are accented with gemstones, but all stand out for their design and the workmanship displayed.

For the woman who prefers a minimalist look, the Tiffany Co. twist bangle (thin, slightly ovoid) is stylishly simple. For Cummings devotees, signature pieces feature hard stone inlay, such as her pairs of gold ear clips inlaid with black jade (a play on the classic Chanel black and tan), or bangles whose design recalls ocean waves, with undulating lines of lapis lazuli and mother-of-pearl. And just about any design by the great Jean Schlumberger is by definition a classic.

Even had he eschewed stones and diamonds, Southern-born David Webb would be hailed for the vast arsenal of heavy gold jewelry he designed. Gold, usually hammered or textured in some manner, defines great David Webb jewelry. The self-taught jeweler made very au courant pieces while drawing inspiration from ancient and out-of-the-way sources — East meets West in the commanding gold necklaces made by Webb in the early 1970s. The same could be said for his endlessly varied gold cuffs.

In Europe, many houses have given us gold jewelry that sets the highest standard for excellence, pieces that were highly sought after when they were made and continue to be so. 

Numerous designs from Cartier are homages to gold. There are the classic Trinity rings, necklaces and bracelets — trifectas of yellow, white and rose gold. As a testament to the power of love, consider the endurance of the Cartier Love bracelet.

Aldo Cipullo, Cartier’s top in-house designer from the late 1960s into the early ’70s, made history in 1969 with the Love bracelet. Cipullo frequently said that the Love bracelet was born of a sleepless night contemplating a love affair gone wrong and his realization that “the only remnants he possessed of the romance were memories.” He distilled the urge to keep a loved one close into a slim 18-karat gold bangle. 

BVLGARI and its coin jewelry, gemme nummarie, hit the jackpot when the line launched in the 1960s. The line has been perennially popular. BVLGARI coin jewelry features ancient Greek and Roman coins embedded in striking gold mounts, usually hung on thick link necklaces of varying lengths. In the 1970s, BVLGARI introduced the Tubogas line, most often made in yellow gold. The Tubogas watches are classics, and then there is the Serpenti, the house's outstanding snake-themed watches and bracelets.

A collection called Monete that incorporated the gold coins is one of several iconic BVLGARI lines that debuted in the 1970s and ’80s, catering to a new generation of empowered women. Just as designers like Halston and Yves Saint Laurent were popularizing fuss-free ready-to-wear fashion for women on the go, BVLGARI offered jewels to be lived in

Since Van Cleef Arpels opened its Place Vendôme doors in 1906, collection after collection of jewelry classics have enchanted the public. As predominantly expressed in a honeycomb of gold, there is the Ludo watch and accessories, circa the 1920s, and the golden Zip necklace, 1951, whose ingenious transformation of the traditional zipper was originally proposed by the Duchess of Windsor. Van Cleef's Alhambra, with its Moroccan motif, was introduced in 1968 and from the start its popularity pivoted on royalty and celebrity status. It remains one of VCA’s most popular and collected styles.

Mention must be made of Buccellati, whose name is synonymous with gold so finely spun that it suggests tapestry. The house’s many gold bracelets, typically embellished with a few or many diamonds, signified taste and distinction and are always in favor on the secondary market. Other important mid-20th-century houses known for their gold-themed jewelry include Hermès and Ilias Lalaounis.

Finding the Right Wrist-watches for You

Antique, vintage and luxury wristwatches have captured the hearts and minds of all manner of watch collectors as well as the watchmakers themselves — it's time you found your own.

Certain vintage watches for men and iconic watch designs for women are sought after not only because of their graceful proportions or innovative materials but also because of the illustrious histories of the houses that created them, histories that they stylishly embody.

Bulgari’s legendary Serpenti watch was on everyone’s list after the collection’s bold bracelet, which technically debuted after the timepiece, graced the wrist of actress Elizabeth Taylor. If anything, elaborately crafted timepieces — the unmistakably boxy silhouette of Cartier Tank watches, the elegant and minimal Calatrava designed by legendary Swiss house Patek Philippe — are even more effective than the shape we associate with traditional wristwatches.

Form watches — the all-encompassing moniker bestowed upon non-round watches — are making headlines and completing contemporary fashionable ensembles the world over. At the same time, both casual fans and careful collectors are drawn to the unbeatable charm of vintage styles, such as the icons designed by Omega that even James Bond can’t resist.

In the early days of watchmaking, watches were fragile enough that they necessitated protection from the elements. Now, wristwatches made of gold and steel can withstand the harshest climates — even 100 meters underwater, in the case of Rolex’s Submariner. Designer Gérald Genta, whose range of clients included Rolex, created for Audemars Piguet the first luxury sports timepiece to be made from stainless steel. First introduced in 1972, the Royal Oak was a perfect choice for blending the form and function that are now synonymous with sports watches.

Are you shopping for a wristwatch? It’s good to keep your needs as well as your specific personal style in mind: A smaller, subtle timepiece is a good fit for small wrists. When will you be wearing your new accessory? There’s a versatile model out there for everyday wear, while a rugged, feature-heavy watch is a safe bet if you’re prone to embarking on all-weather activities in the great outdoors.

Questions About Square Watch Gold
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    It depends on the brand but a Rolex gold watch is made in solid gold, while other brands may use gold capping or gold plating.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    Whether or not gold watches are real gold depends on the timepiece. Some gold watches simply have a gold-toned finish and contain no real gold. Others feature a thin layer of gold plating over top of other precious metals. Luxury watch makers often use 18-karat gold, an alloy that is 75 percent real gold and 25 percent other metals. Find a large selection of gold watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The gold content of a vintage watch will depend on the make and model of the watch. Gold is a popular choice for luxury watches due to its finish and yellow-golden hue that can be achieved through gold or gold-plated bands. Shop a wide selection of expertly vetted vintage watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024
    Many watch lovers believe that a gold watch is worth it. Gold brings rich color and a touch of elegance to timepieces. The metal is also fairly resistant to scratches. Plus, gold often retains its value over time. However, watches made out of other materials, such as titanium, platinum and palladium, can also be durable and visually appealing. When choosing a watch material, consider how and where you'll wear your watch, your preferences and your budget. Shop a diverse assortment of gold watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023
    Whether Omega watches are gold depends on the timepiece. The luxury watchmaker does make pieces out of genuine rose, white and yellow gold, but also manufactures timepieces out of steel and other metals. Shop a collection of Omega watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023
    Yes, AP watches have gold. In fact, the Swiss luxury watchmaker Audemars Piguet offers most of its timepieces in 18-karat yellow, white or rose gold. Some models feature other materials, such as ceramic or stainless steel. Find a wide range of Audemars Piguet watches from some of the world's top dealers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 22, 2024
    Yes, they make watches out of gold. However, pure gold is vulnerable to scratching, so most gold watches feature alloys, such as 14-karat or 18-karat gold. In addition to solid gold watches, you can find gold-filled timepieces. Made by binding a layer of gold alloy to a base metal, gold-filled watches are highly durable and often more accessibly priced. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of gold watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024
    Whether your watch is solid good or not will depend on its maker and model. Some watchmakers offer solid gold watches, but others are gold-filled. The difference is that a gold-filled watch consists of a base metal and has a thin layer of gold bonded to its outer surfaces. One way to potentially determine whether your watch is solid gold is to place a magnet near it. Gold-filled watches are often magnetic, while solid gold ones usually aren't. If you're still unsure about your timepiece's materials, consult a certified appraiser or experienced jeweler. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of gold watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024
    Whether gold-plated watches are valuable varies. Gold-plated watches generally contain very little gold, as they are primarily a base metal, to which a thin layer of gold alloy is applied as a finish. As a result, the timepieces typically don't have much value on the scrap market. However, a gold-plated watch may have value based on its age, maker, model, condition and other factors. A certified appraiser or experienced jeweler can help you determine how much your watch may be worth. Find a wide range of gold watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Yes, Geneva watches are real gold. They're made with 14-karat gold and are never gold-plated.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 10, 2024
    Whether or not Elgin watches are gold depends on the timepiece in question. The watchmaker designed a range of pocket watches and wristwatches made of 10-karat gold, 14-karat gold and 18-karat gold, while some of the company’s other accessories are gold-filled or gold-plated. (Gold-filled jewelry doesn’t have a lot of gold, but it has more gold than gold-plated jewelry.)

    Opinions may vary as to which karat gold is the best for watches. However, many luxury makers opt for 18-karat gold. An alloy that is 75% pure gold, 18-karat gold is more durable than pure 24-karat and 22-karat gold alloys, allowing watches to resist wear and tear. At the same time, 18-karat gold offers more vibrant color than 14-karat and 10-karat alloys. Explore a collection of gold watches on 1stDibs.
