Treat it like a real photoshoot. Bounce light offf a gold colored reflector (primitive). Or, tint a Iray spotlight slightly yellow/golden and use it like a rim light.
If you're looking to buy a lighting set, I might suggest Sveva's http://www.daz3d.com/aurous-iray-lights. Used it a few days ago here: http://www.daz3d.com/gallery/#images/101230 Not my best picture, but not the fault of the lights, they were excellent. It was something I threw together in about 1/2 hour.

I'd personally go for an HDRI environment method, considering you'd want a background to the render along with the effect.
Perhaps one of these http://www.daz3d.com/skies-of-iradiance-night-sky-hdris-for-iray
or these http://www.daz3d.com/skies-of-iradiance-sunny-sky-hdris-for-iray
FWIW, Sveva's lights include HDRI backgrounds and lighting. Use them all the time.
