With the Paris 2024 Olympic Games well underway, there’s no surprise that everyone has gold on their minds. While for some it’s medals, for us it’s jewellery. Their common ground, however, is the fact they can both hang around the neck. For the first time in history, the Olympic and Paralympic medals for gold, silver and bronze were designed and made by Chaumet; a Parisian jewellery brand. Each medal is inspired by high jewellery creations, hence its great significance throughout the games. Everyone wants to be standing in the top spot of the podium; going for gold always. While that may not be achievable for all, wearing pieces of jewellery that reflect this is. So, we have curated this list of our favourite pieces of gold jewellery that are sure to make you feel like a winner. Keep reading to discover more!
