"I've never been particularly fond of gold.
I've always had a preference for silver, both to wear and to work with. During
my time in college learning the arts of metalworking, I relished every chance
to work with sterling. Reticulating silver makes a beautiful texture. Gold
polishes well, but the bright yellow is just too garish for my tastes.
For me, gold makes a lovely accent, but I wouldn't want it to be the entire
piece.
I seem to be the odd one out on that front; gold is an incredibly popular
material for jewelry and accessories around the world. Ah well. Art is
subjective, and everyone has their preferences.
Unfortunately, when a commodity is as popular as gold is, that means precisely
one thing: greed. There is a reason, after all, that gold is considered a safe
investment for people in times of crisis.
Popularity means profit, and when the potential for that profit is so high,
unscrupulous people will do just about anything to get their hands on the
product."
