Gold’s chemical and physical virtues have been extolled for centuries, and, of course, people have adorned themselves with it for just as long. Today, we still prize the best gold jewelry. If I were to craft a hierarchy of jewelry essentials, I would most certainly place the best gold jewelry at the top. Whether it’s made in 18k gold, dotted with high-quality pavé diamonds, or molded into a signet ring, the best gold pieces look just as good on their own as they do stacked with others.
A special piece of gold jewelry is a timeless investment piece that can become heritage jewelry that lives in your personal collection forever. It doesn’t have to break the bank either— thanks to gold vermeil and plated pieces, you can opt for a more affordable option. Luckily the luxury look doesn’t necessarily require a luxury price point.
Whether you’re searching for a timeless investment piece, or looking to make a statement with something more eccentric, the perfect gold jewelry piece is out there for you. From Saint Laurent’s gold statement earrings to a demure Mejuri cuff, shop our edit of the 24 best gold jewelry brands below.

A gold necklace is one of the most versatile pieces of jewelry. It looks just as good with a T-shirt and jeans as it does with a cocktail dress. Go big with a gold chain-link necklace or err on the classic side with a simple medallion.
