Gold jewelry is precious and delicate this year. High carat, slim gold chains, delicately cut gold charms and other slender and intricate pieces of gold jewelry are quite popular.
Detailing in gold jewelry has gone to the next level. Gold jewelry electroforming lets one demonstrate a detail in gold jewelry that was previously only possible through hand carving. Delicate, spidery, skeletal designs in gold jewelry are in vogue. Hammered, diamond cut and silk finishes to gold jewelry make for a very beautiful effect.
