The Ancient Power of Gold: Why 14ct+ Gold Body Jewellery is the Ultimate Choice
For thousands of years, gold has been more than just a symbol of wealth—it has been revered for its healing properties, spiritual significance, and unmatched durability.
From the Egyptians, who adorned their pharaohs in pure gold to signify divinity, to the Romans, who believed gold could strengthen the body and purify the soul, this precious metal has always held extraordinary power. But did you know that wearing 14ct+ gold body jewellery today carries many of the same benefits?
Let’s dive into why high-quality gold is the ultimate investment for your piercings, your skin, and your energy.

1. The Egyptians Knew—Gold is Good for Your Body
Gold wasn’t just a status symbol in Ancient Egypt; it was worn for health and protection. The Egyptians believed that gold had a direct connection to the gods, possessing powerful anti-aging and healing properties. Modern science backs this up—gold is naturally antimicrobial.
🔬 A study published in the Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine found that gold alloys reduce bacterial adhesion, making them an excellent choice for piercings. Unlike lower-grade metals that can cause infections, rashes, or irritation, gold remains biocompatible and hypoallergenic, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
💡 Why It Matters:
If you have sensitive skin, fresh piercings, or want jewellery that promotes long-term healing, 14ct and 18ct gold are the safest, most comfortable choices.
2. The Romans Used Gold for Strength & Longevity
The Romans were master metalsmiths, crafting gold amulets to bring strength and protection. Gold was even used in medicine, with ancient texts describing its ability to support blood circulation and overall well-being.
Today, high-quality gold jewellery maintains those same advantages:
✅ No tarnishing, no rusting, no discolouration – Unlike cheaper metals, gold doesn’t corrode or lose its shine over time.
✅ A forever investment – While plated jewellery fades, solid 14ct+ gold maintains its brilliance for a lifetime.
✅ Gentle on your body – Lower-quality metals, like nickel and brass, can leach toxins into the skin. Gold remains pure and does not oxidise or react negatively with the body.
💡 Why It Matters:
Your body deserves only the best materials. Gold is resilient, pure, and timeless—just like the craftsmanship at Origins.
3. The Magic of Gemstones—Energy, Beauty, & Balance
Gold alone is powerful, but when combined with natural gemstones, it becomes something truly extraordinary. Throughout history, gold was used to amplify the energy of gemstones, enhancing their healing and spiritual properties.
✨ Amethyst – Worn by Egyptian priests to heighten intuition and protect against negativity.
💎 Aquamarine – A favourite of ancient sailors and warriors, believed to bring courage and clarity.
🔥 Garnet – A symbol of passion and strength, cherished by the Romans in battle.
Modern science has shown that different gemstones can affect mood and energy levels, reinforcing what ancient civilisations already knew. Pairing these with solid gold body jewellery allows you to carry a personal talisman of power, balance, and beauty.
