Gold has lured people to the new world for
centuries. It didn’t always end well, of
course, but the allure of a lost city of gold… that’s a strong pull. Now at the Penn
Museum, you can see some of the gold objects found during an excavation in
Panama in 1941: intricate gold chest
plaques, beaded necklaces, finely carved pendants, painted ceramic pots, bowls,
and plates, all from the grave of a Coclé “Paramount Chief” who was buried more
than 1,000 years ago.
Gold still has an allure, of course—just look at
these!
Oooh… shiny.
The Mayan by Chelsea & Zoe practically
glows in warm gold, and just look at the intricate cuts up the front. I’m sort of mesmerized. The heel is almost 4.5 inches tall, and a
zipper up the back lets you in. Also
available in silver, which just seems to be missing something after looking at
the gold. Your choice for $79 at Macy’s.
The Gramercy
by Cole Haan is an oxford resplendent in gold metallic crackle nubuck. I think the crackle finish makes it for me—it
looks like they’re covered in hammered gold leaf. Also available in a sort of pewter as well,
if the gold is a little too bright for you—find them at Zappos
for $198.
Clean. Classic. The Valerie
by Manolo Blahnik is simplicity itself.
One metallic leather strap over the toes, another around the ankle, and
a two-inch wedge—this will complement so many different outfits it’s not even
funny. Find them at Neiman
Marcus for $735.
Ooh. The
brushed gold fabric upper on the Asela
by VanEli is so subtle… though the rhinestone feature over the peep toe
certainly isn’t! One big emerald-cut
stone, surrounded by rows of rounds—gorgeous.
Also available in black and silver, which are both equally beautiful,
and three widths as well! Yours for $50
from DSW.
Isn’t it great that we don’t have to sail across
an ocean for gold anymore? It’s all one
