Need Help Understanding Color Theory for Better Outfit Coordination!
Looking at this comment in the cold light of day I'm realizing I was way too pithy and it wasn't helpful. The other commenters have done a better job articulating what I was trying to drive at: It's more helpful to figure out your personal preferences than memorize a set of rules. Color coordination is more of an art than a science.
If you haven't already, I would recommend looking at the threads I linked, there's been good discussion on this topic in the past. In general, most people on MFAD agree with the general sentiment you've seen here.

I like the last pic. If you wanted to do this without a tie I would also unbutton at the top. I'd probably only close buttons 4 and 5, and either do no undershirt or a wife pleaser

Also you should definitely wash any vintage gold jewelry you buy. I put it in a tub of water with a little dish soap and scrub with a toothbrush. If it has gemstones Google it to make sure it won't dissolve (pearl and opal will get fucked if you do this). If you get really into this you can buy an ultrasonic cleaner.
Gold plating will chip off faster if it gets wet.

Gold plated stuff should be cheap, it's cheap to manufacture and the plating will eventually chip off. I wouldn't pay more than $40 for it personally, and if it’s something easy to find I would look on Aliexpress.
If you’re on a budget or aren’t sure what you like, secondhand is always good. A good rule of thumb is that vintage gold should cost 2-3x melt (lower end if it’s something common, higher end if it’s rarer or more interesting).
Estate liquidators will be cheaper, usually 1.2-1.3x melt. If you can find a good one in your area that’s great, there are also some that sell online.
Most new jewelry is mass-produced wholesale stuff that’s gone through 1-2 layers of arbitrage. If you’re looking for something basic like a chain or band ring, you can buy directly from a wholesaler. This will mean you pay less and probably get better stuff but you have to navigate the most ass websites ever.
Mejuri is pretty dece, they have some QC issues, but if you don’t know what you’re doing they won’t rip you off and they make it easy to try stuff in stores. You can also do what I do and try stuff on at Mejuri then buy something similar from somewhere else.

I'll do a bigger writeup when I'm home but for new stuff look at Mejuri, Automic Gold, and Sarraf. Sarraf's website is ass but their stuff is actually really good and comparatively cheap.

You can buy a ring sizer on Amazon for under $10, I think it's a worthwhile investment. Your fingers swell throughout the day so you'll want to measure them a few times.
Gold is butt expensive right now, but you can find chunky signets like your pictures if you're looking at cheaper vintage sellers and/or liquidators, and you're willing to wait a bit. If you're budget minded it's good to be flexible with styles.
