Try finding answers to this questions before moving into the business of creation and creators.
I asked you a question but you presented lot more questions to me. Why? Is your definition of God that complicated that a commoner like me cannot understand its meaning without going too deep into the meaning of existence and getting confused in the meaning of cause-and-effect. Anything that complicated sounds made up to me.

Fine, let's go your route. Let's answer your questions.

Necklace, bracelet etc really do exist apart from gold?
Let's start with gold, made up of element Aurum (Au), has 79 Protons/Electrons and 118 neutrons. You separate one proton from each atom of Aurum and you don't have gold. So, hope we established the definition of gold.

Now, you get a good quantify of this material called gold, melt it and make an artistic figure out of it. Now you can call it necklace or bracelet. It still is gold, but now it can be classified also as a necklace/bracelet. Do they exist apart from Gold? You can have necklace made of non-gold material (say silver for example); but if you are asking this particular necklace, then the necklace is just another name given to that piece of gold now and in all essence it still is the same gold, made up of the element aurum, which was made up of even smaller particles.
