Gold A Go-Go: The World Gold Council Shows OJ&B The Goods!

Gold is so hot right now! People want gold in their clothes, shoes, purses and even in their food! Yes I said food! I read on the interweb that some company created an edible gold spray that can turn all food into gold. Gold burgers anyone?

Recently OJ&B attended the World Gold Council's 2010 New Gold Jewelry Press Preview. This is where magazine editors/press/hot, trendsetting blogs get to see the new gold designs before they head off to the spring trade shows. It was such a gorgeous day for gold! The room was literally filled with tons of the most beautiful new gold jewelry for 2010 just ready to be worn. After reviewing my pictures about a million times I think I finally narrowed it down to my favorites.

I LOVED these gold animal rings by Manya & Roumen LLC!

Can we talk for a moment about how gorg these Paula Crevoshay bracelets are? One of these with a little black dress and BAM! You are instantly the best dressed at the cocktail party!

Looking for a fresh way to do spring without the floral prints? Try floral jewlery! These beautifully crafted bangles by Maya Jewels are just the thing to give give you elegance in the spring without looking like a bouquet.

The tray with pieces by Mahlia Collection really caught my eye. The piece that really stood out was the necklace that had the skull beautifully framed by gold.

Out of all of the pieces in the room I think that my absolute favorite has to be the pieces by Noelle Leone. I found myself constantly going back to Noelle's tray. I loved the use of the lion doorknocker in the matching collection.

I had such a wonderful time looking at all of the phenomenal gold! Special thanks to the World Gold Council for showing me around the room and being so friendly!
