With the price of gold climbing everyday, one of the smartest investments right now would be a nice, heavy gold bracelet. A perfect pick would be one that would withstand the test of time, remaining classic years from now. All the above bracelets are true examples, and I've picked out my favorites below that would make a great statement ringing in the new year--both as an investment in your wardrobe and your pocket!

This is a vintage bracelet from the 1980s, that features tiny sapphire flowers along with the woven mesh gold done in 14k yellow gold. This bracelet is from Beladora2, price: $1505

I love the design of this high end, Italian Contemporary bracelet. Designed by Carlo Weingrill, done in 18k yellow gold with diamonds. From Beladora, price: $9950

Another great bold gold bracelet design is this one. Vintage, 1980s with a chevron style and done in 14k yellow gold. This one is also from Beladora2 and priced at $1750

Just as the inspiration photo suggests, a high-polished, plain gold bangle is a necessary staple for every jewelry wardrobe. This one has a 3/8" width, which is a great size and priced at $1000 from Beladora2. 14k yellow gold, from the 1980s.

Lastly, a bold gold bracelet from the Retro Period is a perfect compliment to the other classics. This one is 18k rose gold, and its definite Retro Period open links. From Beladora, price: $2450
