Black & Gold Jewels Shine Bright for the Holidays

Filed under: Jewelry

Black and gold is a striking combination. The contrasting colors and subtle golden shimmer produce a rocker's edge aesthetic with a dash of sexiness. The color palette allows for versatility and complements a wide array of outfits from casual to formal.

With the onslaught of upcoming holiday dinners and parties, it's the perfect time to showcase some of our favorite black and gold jewels that will complement your holiday attire.

First up is a gorgeous angular dark wooden ring ($2070) by Fern Freeman. This impressive statement ring has a large base and is adorned with a golden sun shaped overlay underneath rhodium silver and a sparkling pave diamond dome. Freeman's ring would be a head turning and dramatic finish to casual chic and formal outfits.

Survival International, Charity of the Day

A came across this organization when writing about Pippa Small's jewelry and thought I just had to include it in our Charity of the Day series. Survival International's mission is to protect tribal people's land and culture across the globe from encroaching governments and corporations whose expansion may very well wipe out these native populations. These secluded communities won't be able to preserve their way of life if other ambitious parties are not held in check. Support for this organization is possible through active participation such as sponsoring events, writing letters or becoming a campaigner (joining Richard Gere and Pippa Small as well) or through various levels of donations. Their website does a fantastic job of sharing their cause and enlightening those of us who wouldn't have known the depths of this struggle otherwise.

Pippa Small Jewelry

Inspired at a young age by her family and surroundings, Pippa Small pieces together unique jewelry creations that tug at heartstrings, evoke memories and speak to the soul. Her eclectic style combines stones, metals, seeds and flora with an earthen and mystic quality that seems timeless. Although she currently only has one store in London her wares are thankfully also available through an online shop with prices ranging from £300 for a pair of earrings to £7,670 for a charm bracelet. I think her jewelry is fantastic with her rare combinations and cultural undertones.
