I'm doing a project that has me blending a gold color to black but the part I'm trying to use a gradient on is curved and when I do a gradient the bottom of this curve that I want to be black is gold because it's right below the starting point so I'm wondering if there's a way to make it so the gradient follows a path down and transitions that way rather than a linear fashion

I'm working on a project in which I need to blend a gold color into black, but the part I'm trying to use a gradient on is curved.

When I do a gradient, the bottom of this curve that I want to be black is gold, because it's right below the starting point of the gradient.

So I'm wondering if there's a way to make it so the gradient follows a path down and transitions that way rather than a linear way.
