Gift Ideas: Gold Mining
Throughout civilization, gold has been a constant, not only as currency, but also as inspiration for artists, designers, musicians and more. Whether you’re a fan of the paintings from Gustav Klimt’s “golden phase” – including his most famous 1908 work, The Kiss, or you’ve coveted the golden gowns worn by Beyoncé, Margot Robbie and Lupita Nyong’o on high-wattage red carpets, the fascination with this metal never wanes.
Here’s a look at the latest in gift ideas that capture this precious metal’s staying power – whether you’re seeking the perfect present or you’re in the mood to treat yourself.

From sleek pieces that look perfect with jeans to ornate designs ideal for black-tie moments, jewelry enjoys the lion’s share of gold treatments, while a gold watch has long been considered the ultimate status symbol.
