Fold still means first place and there's evidence it may be on its way back. So how do you get a little gold into your wardrobe? Very thin gold rings! The rings shown are designed by Portland artist Amy Tavern, "If you want to ease into the gold jewelry world, here is a nice way to start. 14K gold is hammered and textured into extremely thin rings. Choose yellow gold or rose gold - the colors look great against the skin. Stack them up or wear solo for the minimalist look."
