Once you enter the world of jewelry, you realize the power it has to elevate any outfit. But the same question always arises: am I more of a gold or silver person? To find out which shade suits you best, you simply have to look at your skin undertone, that is, the color of your veins. If you have green veins, then you have a warmer skin tone, so gold is your color. If, on the other hand, you have blue or purple veins, you are a silver person.
Simple, right? But if you like to experiment and have fun, choose to mix both! Although this way you can discover which material suits you best according to your color harmony, in the world of jewelry there is only one rule: choose the one that makes you feel like yourself and reflects your authenticity. Jewelry is more than just an accessory; it is an extension of our personality. So, don’t limit yourself to following the rules.
Knowing your skin tone
The first step in determining which metal suits you best is to identify your skin tone. Generally, skin tones fall into three categories: warm, cool, and neutral.
Warm skin tones: These tend to have golden or yellow undertones. If your veins look green in natural light and your skin tans easily, you probably have a warm tone.
Cool skin tones: These have pink or blue undertones. If your veins look blue or purple and you tend to burn in the sun before you tan, you have a cool skin tone.
Neutral skin tones: A combination of both. If your veins look neither green nor blue, and your skin doesn’t show a clear tendency toward tanning or burning, you might have a neutral tone.
Gold for Warm Skin
Gold is ideal for those with warm skin tones. The warmth of the metal complements the golden and yellow undertones of the skin, enhancing its natural glow. Gold pieces in necklaces, bracelets and rings can add a touch of luxury and sophistication to your everyday style.
Silver for Cool Skin
Silver, with its cool and luminous tone, is perfect for skin with pink or blue undertones. This metal highlights the freshness and clarity of the skin tone, adding a modern and chic touch. Silver accessories, from earrings to bracelets, can add understated yet striking elegance.
What about Neutrals?
If you have a neutral skin tone, you’re in luck: you can wear both gold and silver. Experiment with both metals to see which resonates most with your personal style and the look you want to achieve on different occasions.
An easy way to decide is the mirror test. Put on one piece of gold and one piece of silver jewelry and look in a mirror with good natural lighting. See which one highlights your skin the most. For those undecided, two-tone jewelry combines gold and silver in one design.
Beyond the basic rules, fashion trends and your own personal preferences play a crucial role. Don’t be afraid to break the rules and choose the metal that makes you feel most confident and happy. After all, fashion is a form of self-expression.
