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.
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.
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
Greenish-hued veins signal warm undertone -
Cool Undertones
Blue or purple-coloured veins point to cool undertones -
Neutral Undertones
Seemingly colourless or invisible veins suggest neutral undertones
-
Warm Undertones = Warm Yellow Gold
Embrace your earthy undertones and yellow gold will look amazing on you! Yellow gold is experiencing a renaissance right now. -
Cool Undertones = Cool White Gold
White gold suits cool skin tones best by flattering those pink and bluish undertones. It also pairs well with vibrant, cool-hued gemstones like amethyst, blue sapphire and garnet. -
Neutral Undertones = Blush Rose Gold
With its versatility in complementing both warm and cool undertones, rose gold is a great choice for anyone. The soft blush-pink hue beautifully complements any skin tone.
There isn’t a definitive manual on how to wear gold colours. And guidelines are just that – guidelines. Ultimately the choice is yours. If you find a jewellery style you love - whatever colour gold it may be - we encourage you to wear it, love it, mix it, layer it and flaunt it! Then you’ll be ‘gold’ to go!
