Selecting the perfect jewellery can be a game-changer, regardless of your gender. Understanding your skin undertone is key to choosing pieces that highlight your natural beauty. When jewellery complements your complexion, it can truly elevate your look.
How to Determine Your Skin Tone
First, let’s figure out your skin tone. Skin tone generally falls into three categories: warm, cool, or neutral. Here’s how to find yours:
Look at Your Veins: Check the veins on your wrist. If they appear more blue or purple, you likely have a cool skin tone. If they look green, you’re more on the warm side. If you can’t really tell whether they’re blue or green, you’re probably neutral.
Sun Reaction: Think about how your skin reacts to the sun. If you tan easily, you may have a warm or neutral skin tone. If you tend to burn more, you might have a cool skin tone.
Natural Hair and Eye Colour: Those with cool skin tones often have blue, green, or grey eyes with blonde, brown, or black hair that has blue or silver undertones. Warm skin tones usually pair with brown, amber, or hazel eyes and hair colours ranging from dark brown to reddish tones.
Jewellery for Warm Skin Tones
Warm skin tones, regardless of ethnicity, have a golden or yellowish undertone. People with warm tones tend to look great in yellow-based metals and warm-toned gemstones.
- Metals: Gold, rose gold, and copper
- Gemstones: Amber, Citrine, garnet, tiger’s eye, and turquoise
For individuals from warmer-toned regions—such as Latin American, South Asian, or Middle Eastern backgrounds—gold jewellery is a staple. The richness of gold enhances darker and more tanned skin, bringing out the radiance in every outfit.
Jewellery for Cool Skin Tones
Cool skin tones have pink, red, or blue undertones. They typically look best with silver and white gold, as well as cool-toned gemstones.
Metals: Silver, platinum, and white gold
Gemstones: Sapphire, emerald, amethyst, opal, and diamond
Cool tones are common in people of Asian or Northern European descent. Silver jewellery, which is often a part of traditional and modern styles in these cultures, emphasizes the delicate and porcelain-like quality of cool-toned skin.
Jewellery for Neutral Skin Tones
Lucky you if you have a neutral skin tone! This means you have a balance of both warm and cool undertones, allowing you to wear a wide range of jewellery.
- Metals: Both gold and silver can look great
- Gemstones: Experiment with a variety to see what you like best
With a neutral tone, you might find that a range of ethnic jewellery suits you—from African beadwork to Scandinavian minimalist designs. Neutral tones can balance intricate colours, patterns, and metals with ease.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re warm, cool, or neutral, there’s a world of jewellery that can highlight your unique beauty. It’s all about understanding what works for you and being confident in your choices. So, next time you’re shopping for that perfect necklace or pair of earrings, think about your skin tone, but don’t be afraid to try something new.
From classic gold to bold gemstones, the right jewellery can elevate your look no matter where you’re from or what skin tone you have. After all, jewellery is not just an accessory—it’s an extension of your personality and heritage.
