There are more gold metal examples on the web then you could shake a gold metal example at, to be sure. Though we'll make room for one more.

 

Create a new rgb file with a black background. We used the Monotype Corsiva font for this example.

 

Go to the Layers Palette and choose Bevel & Emboss with the following settings: Style > Inner Bevel, Technique > Chisel Hard, Depth > 100%. Under Shading, Contour > Ring.

 

Contour is found just underneath Bevel & Emboss; use the default settings here.

 

Here is where the fun begins: Go to Color Overlay and change the color to a gold representation, i.e., R; 243 G: 173 B: 44. You can choose a slightly darker or lighter color depending on what overall effect you wish to achieve.

 

We will lighten it up just a bit with the Satin setting. Choose white as the default color and under Contour, choose Gaussian. The Blend Mode is set to Multiply.

 

With the Satin Blend Mode set to Overlay.
