Not everything that glitters is gold except, of course, when it is gold. Since the Paleolithic, gold has symbolized wealth, power, and the divine. You may not be a deity, but you still deserve to shine, and the following items will put everyone on notice that gold is not just a four-letter word, it’s your four-letter word.
Jordan 1 Retro Black Metallic Gold (2013)
The combination of onyx and gold dates back to at least the Bronze Age and the Minoan Civilization. The jet black onyx helped set off the flash of gold. This beyond classic combination receives the Jordan Brand treatment, including a fully dressed patent leather upper. Grab a pair, or gift a pair, to get that King Minos feeling all the time.
Ben Baller NTWRK Bill Counter Gold
Have you ever thought: What is the most ridiculous yet most necessary flex piece money can buy? And it has to be entirely dipped in gold? The answer is, of course, the Ben Baller NTWRK Bill Counter. If an all gold bill counter doesn’t scream luxe and limited, how about the fact that it was only available through the NTWRK app and instantly sold out? This is one accessory Supreme shouldn’t bother doing because Ben Baller already did the bill counter.
KAWS Holiday Space Figure Gold
No one can hear you scream in space, but everyone can see you bling. The KAWS Holiday Space Figure brings the Astro-bling in full-on gold. Based on the MTV Moonman trophy used for the 2013 MTV VMAs, this little guy has been around and then some. Fun fact: this golden spaceman is also a real astronaut. To celebrate the Space Figure release, KAWS sent this little guy into space attached to a weather balloon that cruised 135,000 miles above the earth. Not just gold, intergalactic gold.
Telfar Shopping Bag Medium Gold
The brand of the moment, Telfar, comes correct with their medium Shopping Bag in gold-tone. Complete with the now-iconic logo and the glimmer of gold, this bag is a statement piece no matter how and where you choose to carry it. Although the bag looks like it cost some serious scratch, the price point will have you copping one to rock and one to stock to keep your precious metal flexing going well into the new year.
Dior And Shawn Pendant Necklace
What do you get when you combine the design chops and sensibilities of Dior’s artistic director Kim Jones and streetwear icon Shawn Stussy? You get some of the boldest and most exciting apparel and accessories of the year, that’s what. And nothing screams collab of the year like the Dior and Shawn pendant necklace. The pendant casts “Dior” in Stussy’s famous hand-drawn lettering, embellished with crystals providing just enough extra pop to make the gold-tone truly shine. This is a must for gold bugs, Dior devotees, Kim Jones janissaries, and Stussy stalwarts the world over.
