You can write a simple text or use a letter as I did. I will make a D shape gold jewelry using the Fortuna Dot free font.

Open the layer style window of the D Letter Layer and reduce the Fill to 0%. Add a Stroke like shown in the image.

Now you have to rasterize the layer style of the D Letter Layer; to do that you must create a new blank layer and merge the two layers. To create a realistic gold effect you have to add the following layer styles:

Inner Shadow; color#ffee3e

Bevel and Emboss; colors #ffe222 and #954a00

Color Overlay; color #e1ae00

Gradient Overlay; color #030300 and #e2c000

Satin; color #927100

To make the golden text to look like a real jewelry I will add some precious stones and other details. Use the Ellipse Tool to draw some circles in a new layer below the D Letter Layer.

Apply the same gold style to the circles created in the previous layer.

In the same way I have added some more circles with different jewelry styles. You can add a nice text reflection to make the effect look even better; learn how to add reflection in Photoshop. To make the effect look more vibrant, add sparkle effect using sparkle brushes.
