Having a strong attachment to a particular metal is an emotion only felt by jewelry lovers. Yes, you probably own both gold AND silver pieces (because you love all jewelry, obviously), but you are absolutely smitten with one particular metal. Typically, those with cool-toned, lighter skin are more likely to love silver jewelry, since it goes better with their skin tone.
