All made

Hello,

I am trying to figure out if it's possible to say "all made gold", meanig: the whole thing is made of gold without using the word "by". The question is if I use it creatively, as a slogan, will the meaning be clear? Will it sound right?

Thanks a lot!

Mimi

  • No.
  • I see where you are going, but that does not work.
  • You can say "all gold" to mean "made of gold and nothing else".
  • You can also say "solid gold", which implies that it is not hollow or filled, or "pure gold", which implies 24-karat.

I don't know where you think "by" might go, and I don't know what you are trying to say wi
