Gold or silver jewelry: Which suits me?

Should I choose gold or silver jewelry? How do I know which color suits me?

Choosing between gold and silver jewelry is often a matter of personal taste, but did you know that your skin tone and individual characteristics also play an important role? In this blog post, you'll find practical tips to help you figure out whether cool silver or warm gold suits you better.

1. Determine your skin undertone

Your skin undertone is the key to knowing which jewelry color suits you best. There are three main undertones: cool, warm, and neutral. Here's how to find yours:

• Cool undertones : Your skin has a bluish or pinkish hue. You tend to blush easily, and your veins appear bluish.
• Warm undertones : Your skin has a golden or peach hue. Your veins appear greenish.
• Neutral undertones : You have a mix of both, which gives you more flexibility in your jewelry choices.
  
  

Tip:
Look at your wrists in daylight. Do you see more blue or green veins? Blue veins indicate cool undertones, green veins indicate warm undertones.

2. The gold or silver test

An easy way to find out which color suits you better is the "gold or silver test." Hold a gold and a silver piece of jewelry against your skin and observe which color looks more harmonious.

• Cool skin undertone: Silver and white gold jewelry make your skin glow. Silver looks more elegant and fresh on your skin.
• Warm skin undertone: Gold jewelry complements your skin tone better and gives you a radiant, warm glow.
  
  

Tip:
Try both metals one after the other and notice how your complexion and eyes glow. If you're unsure, ask friends for their opinion or take photos to see the comparison more clearly.

3. Consider your hair and eye color

Your hair and eye color can give you further clues:

• Light hair and eyes (e.g. blonde, blue or gray): Cool colors like silver and platinum often work better.
• Dark hair and eyes (e.g. brown, black, hazel brown): Warm gold tones ideally complement the natural color contrast.
• Red hair and freckles: Red hair usually harmonizes perfectly with gold, but rose gold can also be a great alternative.
  
  

4. Your personal style and clothing

Ultimately, it's also about what you like and what you feel comfortable with. Perhaps your style is more suited to the simple, cool look of silver, or you love the luxurious, warm shine of gold.

Tip:
Take a look at your wardrobe. What colors do you wear most often? If you prefer warm, earthy tones, gold will work better. For cool, blue, or gray outfits, silver is a better choice.

5. Combine for an individual look

There are no strict rules! Many people today combine gold and silver to create a unique and versatile style. If you have neutral skin tones or simply want to be creative, you can play with both colors and mix them in your jewelry style.

Tip:
Combine different metals in one outfit. For example, wear a gold necklace and silver earrings and see how this mix works.

Conclusion

Your skin undertone, hair color, and personal style will provide valuable clues as to whether gold or silver suits you better. Ultimately, it's all about what you feel most comfortable with. If you like both colors, there's nothing wrong with combining them and creating your own style.
