The right jewelry for your skin type

What type of jewelry should you choose based on your skin tone?

Did you know that certain types of jewelry have the power to enhance your natural beauty? Gold-tone metals suit one skin tone better, while silver blends perfectly with another.

Discover in this article which jewelry color suits you best to look your best! We even spoke with a personal stylist to give you expert advice on matching your jewelry to your skin tone.

Gold or silver jewelry: which color should you choose based on your skin tone?

Are you torn between gold and silver? We understand—it can be hard to choose! Not to mention rose gold, which is becoming increasingly popular. The key to making a sensible choice without making a mistake? Your skin tone.

In her module on personal color analysis, stylist Véronique Boucher offers an analysis to determine the colors that are made for you, including those of jewelry. People with pink or very fair skin generally look better in silver-tone jewelry. Those with peach-toned skin have every reason to turn to gold-tone jewelry.

To find out if you have pink or peach-toned skin, the stylist uses a foolproof trick: examine the veins on the inside of your wrist. If they are bluish or purplish, you probably have pink or fair skin. Conversely, if your veins are mostly greenish, you probably have peach or olive-toned skin.

Silver-tone jewelry, like our FREE SPIRIT necklace, naturally flatters pink or fair skin.

Gold-tone jewelry, like our Sweet Heart bracelet, pairs wonderfully with peach or olive-toned skin.

And what skin tone is rose gold for?

Good news: rose gold harmonizes with all skin tones. You need to observe its shade (pink/grayish or salmon) to make sure it matches your skin well. If the metal is more pink or grayish, it will suit pink or fair skin perfectly. However, if the rose gold is in peach or salmon-pink tones, it will suit peach or olive-toned skin better. See the difference in the following photos.

The pink or grayish rose gold of our ADÈLE bracelet flatters pink skin.

The rose gold leaning toward salmon pink of our Catherine bracelet flatters peach-toned skin.

Perhaps you are naturally drawn to a particular type of metal. If that is not the case or if you are not sure, you can test the different metals on the skin of your wrist. Observe the difference carefully and judge for yourself.😉

What to remember to choose your type of jewelry

Beyond your skin tone, stylist Véronique Boucher reminds us that there are exceptions. For example, if your jacket has gold-tone buttons or a zipper, gold-tone jewelry is the logical choice, regardless of your skin tone. Or, if your personal style leads you toward a type of jewelry, listen to yourself!

So, what type of jewelry is part of your DNA? Are you more drawn to gold-tone or silver-tone jewelry? Are you tempted by rose gold?

To have a versatile wardrobe, the stylist invites women to get these jewelry essentials: a set of silver-tone jewelry and another set of gold-tone jewelry. Do you already have them in your jewelry box?
