There are many things that are of more value, financially, spiritually, or in other ways, than gold.

Diamonds and other precious stones such as emeralds, rubies, and so on, cost more by weight than gold. So you could say something is better than diamonds, or that you wouldn't sell it for a sack of rubies, or something similar.

Poets through the ages have said that kind of thing: 'The love of] a good woman is above rubies.'; 'Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?' and of course, Shakespeare's 'All that glisters is not gold,', and goes on to say gilded tombs have worms in them.

Others have put things in more earthy terms: 'If it's not cash, it's trash.'

There are so many ways to describe something you consider more valuable, perhaps just to you, than gold. Apart from worldly goods, terms like 'irreplaceable' and 'priceless' are useful.

If you're aiming to impress with your comparison or description, try to think about the person you hope to win over. For examply, if they're completely nuts about cats, you could describe something as being as beautiful as a month-old kitten; if European cars are their thing, then diamond-encrusted Lamborghinis could figure in the conversation.
