Metallics are all about contrast -- bright highlights and dark shades. Galdor has the right idea, though to emphasize you might want to make the darks a little darker. You also don't want to shy away from putting them near each other -- metals don't react to light like other materials as they reflect it much like a mirror. So you have the underlying color of gold, but the surface itself is mostly covered with reflections so all those shades and highlights are from reflections of its surroundings.

Here is the trophy from Pixeljoint:

Also, your perspective is a bit off:

Usually the color palette makes a huge difference when trying to resemble gold. The highlights as well. Dusty is right so listen to him. :]

I find the easiest way to do gold, and lot of other metals, is to take advantage of your highlights and shadows. Plain old yellow will do for your fill, but you have to be creative with your highlights and shadows.

Wow that's awesome
Actually to color anything with gold, I always use a shading of course, but with some non-common colors, like orange/dark orange shade

as you can tell it's a pretty dirty sketch
