Choosing jewelry by skin type: Which metals & colors suit you best?

Jewelry by Skin Tone: The Science Behind the Sparkle

Some gold colors make skin glow, while others make it look dull. Choosing jewelry by skin tone is not a myth: certain metal and gemstone colors truly harmonize better with specific skin tones.

The Basic Categories of Skin Tone

• Cool (Pink/Reddish): Bluish or pinkish undertones in wrist veins
• Warm (Yellow/Olive): Greenish or golden undertones in veins
• Neutral: Mix of both – very rarely identifiable

Warm Skin Tone: These Metals Radiate

• Yellow Gold 585 and 750: The most natural combination – perfectly harmonious
• Rose Gold: Warm on warm – very flattering
• Copper Alloys: Suits the warm undertone
• Less advantageous: White gold and silver – can appear somewhat cool

Cool Skin Tone: These Metals Radiate

• White Gold: Cool on cool – very elegant
• Platinum: The most noble metal for cool tones
• Sterling Silver: Cool and fresh – looks natural
• Less advantageous: Very warm yellow gold – can sometimes contrast

Neutral Skin Tone

You have the privilege of freedom: all gold colors look good on you. This allows for – and encourages – mixed metal looks.

Gemstones by Skin Tone

• Warm tone + rubies, citrine, carnelian = harmonious
• Cool tone + sapphire, aquamarine, amethyst = elegant
• Darker tone + diamond, white gold = high contrast = very elegant
