Choosing the Right Gold Colour for You

Jewelry Care
If you have ever tried on a piece of jewellery and thought it looked better in the case, then it may be the wrong colour of gold for you. But don't despair—we have a few tips for finding what colour of gold works best with your skin tone.

Gold Colours for Different Undertones

The secret to choosing the right colour gold is determining your skin tone. Once you figure that out, you can shop your favourite styles with confidence, knowing you'll always look great.

Finding Your Undertone

Undertones are the colours that can be seen beneath the skin. To identify your undertone, take a look at your veins. Virtually everyone will fall into one of three buckets: warm, cool, or neutral.
  • Warm Undertones

    Warm Undertones

    Greenish-hued veins signal warm undertone
  • Cool Undertones

    Cool Undertones

    Blue or purple-coloured veins point to cool undertones
  • Neutral Undertones

    Neutral Undertones

    Seemingly colourless or invisible veins suggest neutral undertones
