Congrats on jumping in! And Welcome! I would suggest that you look into the 24kt jewelry that is available. It is investment grade gold and it looks great. There are bracelets and necklaces.
There are also gold bracelets, necklaces, and rings available at 18kt, 14kt, and 10kt. These are standard jewelry gold pieces. Many local coin shops, pawn shops and other places that buy gold will also sell gold. These places have very nice jewelry pieces and they sell them by weight. You are paying for the gold and a little premium price because it's jewelry. The prices are much better than your mall jewelry stores.
