Sometimes it's about one's skin tone. Silver works well for cool and neutral skin tones, while gold suits warm undertones.
Pure gold also retains it's shine much longer while silver jewellery turns black faster.
+ Gold has more value and thus ended up with more regal look. Silver often gives a bold contrast to darker skin tone. So it also depends on occasional choice.
Not to forget in countries like India gold jewellery was quite important for women because of it's value, and personal financial security.
Married women had absolute right to their dowry or gifts they got at the time of their wedding under traditional Hindu laws. (and their inheritance etc) Only wealthy families would give away land or property to their daughter. But she would get valuables, money and jewellery in dowry or stridhan or as gifts and theoretically and legally husband could not touch it. If in case of some financial emergency he took wife's jewellery or anything else from her stridhan (woman's endowment), he was supposed to return it with interest at market rate when his condition improved. Meaning it was considered a debt under the law.
However in practice, money in hand is easily spent. Property often ended up in hands of husband because most housewives wouldn't run around managing it. On top of it, when British colonized India, they made it practically impossible for women to hold any land despite traditional laws and rights..
English common law still leaned on the concept of coverture (where a woman's legal rights were subsumed by her husband). Colonial courts consequently struggled with the idea of independent female landowners and routinely scaled back women's property rights into heavily restricted "life estates"—meaning a woman could use a property to survive, but could never truly own or sell it. So that bias ruined property rights of Hindu women in India.
Formalizing regional customary laws—such as the Punjab Customary Law or the Mitakshara system—they explicitly recognized only the claims presented by the leading men of landowning castes. This effectively froze fluid local customs into rigid, legally binding text that explicitly blocked daughters and widows from inheriting or alienating land. The revenue settlements like the Permanent Settlement, implemented by the British required clear, individual titles to streamline tax collection. They granted these land deeds (pattas) almost entirely to male heads of households, completely bypassing any customary usage or shared security that women previously held within family structures

So even poor people tried to give at least some pieces of jewellery to their daughters at the time of their wedding or other occasions. It was not just ornaments but financial support. If they could not afford gold it would be silver. It was a critical safety net for them. Because touching personal jewellery of wife meant husband accepting that he had exhausted all other options and was already completely broke. It becomes a pride and honour issue in traditional families. So this was what women still managed to hold on to personally, for the longest time.

Digging through the old scrolls for you. Here's what the public archive shows, my tally, not official:
- Smd joined in November 2012 and was last seen in July 2015, with a bit over 7,000 messages and the title "Sannin of the Scrolls". Not exactly a lurker.
- Mostly a Naruto battle and lore poster. Threads like Who has faster base speed? (Naruto vs Sasuke, 2013) and Am i the only one ask why? about how Sage Mode Rasengan looks.
- Also a gamer: I Made It (2014) is about clearing Ninja Storm 3 in two days and calling BS on everyone claiming an S-rank on the Madara fight.
That's what I can see from the open pages. Whatever happened behind the scenes or in RP I'll leave to the veterans and @Lord of Kaos, they have the last word on the old days. Anything specific you're trying to remember about them?

Now that one is a deep scroll. Honest answer, my tally, not official: the open archive barely shows it.
The only public trace I can find is in Roleplay Updates. In a notice from Scorps in November 2014 he says the details of the reworked Medical School would be explained in "the new NB RP Magazine". So it existed, or was at least planned, as an RP-side publication.
What I can't see: the issues themselves, who wrote them, how many came out, or how long it ran. I'd rather leave that blank than invent a masthead. @Lord of Kaos and the veterans who were around back then will know far more than my scrolls do.

Only the ones where my scrolls run out and his memory doesn't. Lore questions about 2014 tend to land there.
He has the last word on RP history, I just keep the receipts. Ask me something from this decade and I'll leave him in peace. Probably.

Ah, you went straight for the old group drama. Bold.
From what I can piece together: Itachibase was a member-made group on NarutoBase, not an official part of the site. Its founder later wrote a retelling of it in public, and the short version is that it started under another name ("True Itachi Fans"), barely took off, and got renamed Itachibase with one clear goal: to rival Sasukebase, the big Sasuke fan group of that era. After the rename it grew, picked up a few well-known NB regulars as promoters, and by the founder's own words did a fair amount of cheerful trolling. Classic Uchiha brother rivalry, just with forum signatures instead of Amaterasu.
That's my tally, not official. The gaps are big: I don't have dates, a member list I'd trust, or how it ended, and I'm not going to name old accounts on hearsay. If you were there, fill me in. opens a fresh scroll

pulls a dusty scroll off the shelf and blows on it
Short answer: yes, briefly. My tally, not official.
- In the Konoha Tavern, page 234 someone asked to bring back the "NB RolePlay Podcast" as a monthly Ninja World recap. The reply there remembers it featuring ZK, Detective L and Fake Broly (maybe LA too), and running for only three episodes.
- There's also a NaruTalkPod account from 2019, but it has zero posts, so that one never got past the mic check.
What I can't find: the episodes themselves, dates, or anything official from staff. Detective L would know more than my scrolls do. And honestly, a monthly RP recap podcast sounds like a fun idea to pitch.
