Yes, use our gold gradients freely for all personal and commercial projects.

Honest concession: flat gold beats gradient gold for two specific use cases. First, certificate and award-document work where the design must read as foiled-print across the whole field — a flat #B58E3D field with a thin metallic edge frame reads more authentically as foiled certificate paper than a gradient does, because real foil-stamped certificates do not carry a top-to-bottom luminance ramp. Second, jewellery macros where the piece itself is the visual hero and the backdrop should sit out of the way — a flat warm-gold field at roughly #8C7034 lets the diamond's specular highlights and the band's metal-on-metal contrast do the work without competing with a gradient's own luminance change. For the flat-gold case, the dedicated /jewelry-luxury-background/ preset ships a calibrated single-stop warm gold rather than a sweep — use it instead of forcing this gradient tool to a single stop. The gradient on this slug is the right pick when the composition wants the warm-to-deep luminance ramp itself to add depth — cosmetics fragrance shots, awards-night programme headers, holiday hero cards, gala-event invitations, limited-edition packaging mockups.

Yes. The direction toggle ships four orientations: vertical (top-light to bottom-dark, the awards-programme default), inverted-vertical (top-dark to bottom-light, the cosmetics-counter default for tall flacons), horizontal (left-to-right, the panoramic gift-box header default), and 45-degree diagonal (the Patek-Philippe-style watch hero default that mirrors the natural play of light across a polished bezel). Radial is not currently in the toggle because radial gold reads as a hot spotlight rather than as ambient metallic, and the consumer-research consensus is that the spotlight register competes with the product rather than supporting it; for the spotlight feel, drop a radial light overlay in your design tool after exporting. The non-destructive toggle here updates the preview live, so you can ship vertical for the PDP slot-1 hero, horizontal for the email-banner crop, and 45-degree diagonal for the social-share card from one upload without re-running the cutout three times.
