Stereotype of yellow gold wearing woman vs white gold / platinum

[Anonymous]

What does one make you think of vs the other? Yellow gold makes me think of old money vs platinum rich suburbia. Am I off base?

Wut?

Weird.

OP, both platinum and yellow gold have been used to make beautiful jewelry for generations of wealthy people and "old money."

This is weird.

Most people wear yellow gold if they look better in warmer colors and white gold / silver if they look better in cooler colors.

Yes. I’ve always preferred silver to gold — because of my skin tone. Now I prefer platinum because of allergies. I am neither old money nor rich suburbia.

Yeah, I don’t think this is a stereotype, OP.

I would think that one looks better in warm tones, and one looks better in cool tones. Or, if you’re me, whatever goes best with the outfit you’re wearing.

Good grief.

I don't like my yellow gold rings from the 80s. At the time, I thought I liked them better. What was I thinking?

Maybe you used to be old money but now you are rich suburbia?

I’m unaware of any stereotype about this.

Not a stereotype but - growing up in Vancouver there were many recent East Asian immigrants who wore a lot of very yellow gold that l was told was close to 24k. Like they were wearing their wealth. I’ve heard pure gold is very soft it’s better to use up to 18k for making jewelry.

Personally l prefer yellow gold because as others have said, it looks nice with my skin tone.

Platinum was so big when I got engaged in 1996. I used to wear a lot if silver and white gold with my platinum engagement/wedding bands.

Gold is really in now. I have a lot of gold pieces and I really didn’t like it back in the 90s/early 2000s.

My mom has a wonderful thick/wide gold wedding band. It’s wonderful.

All classes do both if that’s what you are getting at, OP.

There is a guido connotation about men and gold chains and women with huge gold earrings.
