What colour gold suits my skin tone?
by Natasha Christou Digital Marketing ConsultantBefore investing in a piece of jewellery, it’s important to
know that it will suit you. While we all have preferences on jewellery style
and hues of metal, not everything will flatter you. Some trends may not
complement your style, and certain metals may highlight your skin tone better
than others.
A well-chosen piece of jewellery can work wonders. It can
make your skin glow, accentuate your eyes, and even flatter your hair colour.
But the piece must fit your skin tone in order to achieve this. This guide will
teach you how to easily develop a masterful eye for jewellery selection.
Understanding your skin’s undertones
Your skin’s undertones can make or break even the most
resplendent of jewellery. You may be head over heels for that beautiful piece
of antique
jewellery, but hold it against the back of your hand and see how it looks
against your skin tone, not just in the display case. If it’s not a match to
your undertones, you may find the jewellery looks oddly dull against your skin.
This is all down to the undertone of your skin. There are
three main categories of skin undertone: cool, warm, and neutral. To find out
which undertone you have, look at the veins on your wrist:
·
Blue/purple veins suggest you have a cool
undertone to your skin.
·
Green/olive veins suggest you have warm
undertones.
·
Blue/green veins suggests a neutral
undertone.
Once you have figured out your undertone, you can pick the
most flattering jewellery for you. In this article, we’ll be exploring gold
jewellery.
For cool undertones
Cool-toned skin looks great with pale metals. For gold, this
means looking to white gold for your jewellery choices. The bright hue of white
gold will bring freshness to your cooler tone. Plus, it works fantastically
with brightly coloured gemstones. The brighter, the better with white gold.
Think emeralds and amethysts against the subtle backdrop of white gold. For example,
a Colombian emerald set in white gold would truly flatter a cool-toned redhead.
For warm undertones
Classic yellow gold really brings out the glow of warm skin
tones. You can also embrace the always-trendy rose gold too, as its hint of
copper will serve your warmer tone well.
Natural-hued gemstones look amazing with yellow and rose
golds, as they work with the metal’s stunning shades rather than trying to
steal the spotlight. Think citrine and turquoise for a splash of colour that
isn’t competing with the gold. A vintage, yellow gold brooch set with citrine
would be a marvellous choice for anyone with warm skin tones.
For neutral undertones
If you’re lucky enough to have a neutral skin tone, then any
shade of gold will work well with you. Everything from white gold to yellow
gold will flatter your skin, so you really can’t go wrong with your selection.
You’ll get to have your pick of jewellery styles and designs, all safe in the
knowledge that the metal will complement your skin tone.
Of course, this is just a guide. The main reason for
purchasing a piece of jewellery should be simple — that you love it and it
makes you feel good! Just because you have a cool undertone, don’t feel like
you can’t wear any yellow gold, for instance. If you love it, your confidence
will show when you wear it!
