Some people have always known their metal. Others are still holding yellow and white gold up to their face in the mirror, trying to decide which one looks better. 

So, are you a yellow gold girlie or a white gold girlie? 

The Yellow Gold Girlie 

Yellow gold is warm, classic and timeless. It has that rich golden glow that can make even a simple piece of jewellery stand out. 

You might be a yellow gold girlie if you tend to wear warmer colours like cream, brown, beige, olive or denim. It’s also a great choice if you love jewellery with a slightly vintage or traditional feel. 

The vibe: warm, classic and romantic. 

The White Gold Girlie 

White gold has a cooler, more modern look. Its silvery finish feels clean and understated, and it works especially well with diamonds and other bright stones. 

If your wardrobe is mostly black, white, grey, navy or cooler colours, you may find that white gold fits naturally with your style. It’s an easy choice if you prefer jewellery that feels simple and polished. 

The vibe: modern, minimal and refined. 

What About Your Skin Tone? 

You’ve probably heard that warm undertones suit yellow gold and cool undertones suit white gold. It can be a useful guide, but you definitely don’t need to treat it as a rule. 

Try both on and see what you prefer. Think about the colours you wear most often and, more importantly, which metal you naturally find yourself drawn to. 

Can You Wear Both? 

Of course. There’s no reason your jewellery collection has to be all yellow gold or all white gold. 

Mixing metals can actually make your jewellery feel more personal. Wear a yellow gold necklace with white gold earrings, mix your rings, or choose a piece that combines both. 

At the end of the day, there’s no right answer. The best metal for you is simply the one you enjoy wearing.
