Choosing Jewellery According to Your Skin Undertones

Every stunning piece of jewellery sparks a question: Will it actually look good on me? With choices like yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold, knowing which metal will naturally enhance your beauty is the key to glowing confidence.

 

Discover your Undertone

 

Vein Test

The quickest way to find your perfect jewellery match is the vein test. Examine the veins on your inner wrist in natural light to determine your skin's undertone:

 

Blue or purple veins: You have a cool undertone.

Green or olive veins: You have a warm undertone.

A mix of both or unclear: You likely have a neutral undertone.

 

White Paper Test

Hold a piece of white paper next to your face (without makeup) in natural lighting.

Cool Undertone: Skin appears more pinkish or rosy

Warm Undertone: Skin appears more yellowish or golden

 

The Sun Test

Consider how your skin responds to the sun.

 

Cool Undertone: You tend to burn easily and may or may not eventually tan.

Warm Undertone: You tend to tan easily and rarely burn.

Neutral Undertone: You tan sometimes and burn sometimes.

 

The Best Metals According to Your Skin Tone

After discovering your undertone, it’s time to learn which precious metals will bring out your natural glow.

 

Best Jewellery for cool undertones

Although silver generally flatters cool undertones better, the right gold can look amazing, too. Cool undertones are characterised by subtle hints of pink, red, or blue that appear beneath the skin. People with cool undertones tend to look best in colours and jewellery that are crisp, icy, or blue-based. This undertone is naturally enhanced and brightened by silver metals and cool-toned gemstones.   

 

Best Suited: Silver, White Gold, Platinum

 

Gemstones That Make You Glow: Deep blues (Sapphire), purples (Amethyst), vibrant reds (Ruby), pinks (Pink Tourmaline), as well as Pearl and Diamond sets (white gold or platinum).

 

Best Jewellery for warm undertones

Warm undertones are characterised by golden, yellow, or peach hues. Yellow gold, rose gold, and earthy gemstones pair beautifully with this undertone. Earthy tones, yellows, oranges, and warm greens are ideal. 

 

Best Suited: Yellow Gold and Rose Gold

 

Gemstones That Make You Glow: Emerald, Peridot, Citrine, Yellow Diamonds, Garnet, Amber, and Amethyst (especially in yellow gold settings), Citrine, and Turquoise enhance the natural glow and warmth of the skin

 

Best Jewellery for neutral undertones (A mix of both)

If you have neutral undertones, you’re fortunate! Neutral undertones have a balanced mix of warm and cool hues. You have the flexibility to wear any jewellery accessories beautifully. Both light and warm tones flatter your skin tone, giving you endless options to choose from.

 

Best Suited: Both White and Yellow metals look good on you

 

Styling Tip:  You can choose your metal according to your outfit or desired look. Yellow gold will enhance your warmth, while white gold will bring out your cooler, rosier tones.
