Heavy Metal: The Trend For Bold Gold Medallions Gathers Pace
Gold medallions infused with meaning are hot property right now, as jewellery lovers fall for the symbolism and style of these statement designs. Rachael Taylor asks how best to wear these daring medallions and meets jewellers pushing the boundaries with new twists on this classic design.
It is hard to avoid medallions right now – this bold style of necklace is everywhere, and for good reason. A great gold medallion worn on a long, heavy chain can bring just the right pinch of drama to a shirt-and-jeans combo, but it can also wow at a black-tie event and connect you to your hopes and dreams through its symbolism. That kind of versatility is irresistible.
