While you may not even realise it, different metals can completely change the way we look. Everybody’s skin has different undertones, meaning you could be wearing the completely wrong jewellery for your skin! Our blog is here to help you deduce what kind of metals look the best on you! Keep reading to find out more! How Do I Know Which Metal Suits Me Best? First things first, there are a wide range of metals out there, including: Gold Silver Platinum Rose gold White gold All of these beautiful metals will suit different people, depending on a range of things. Just like makeup, your jewellery can enhance the way you look, and be great for contrasting or complementing some of your features. Your hair, eye and skin tone can help you determine which metal will suit you the best. Which Metal Is Right For Me? The main thing you want to be looking for, is cool or warm undertones. After finding your skin undertone, you can find the right jewellery match much easier! A good starting point is to check your veins! On the whole: Blue & Purple Veins - Blue and purple veins represent cool skin tones Green veins - Green veins are more prominent in warm skin tones Cool Skin Tone Cool skin tones will often suit silver and white gold better than warmer skin tones. Platinum, white gold and silver are the primary metals you should go for! And if you’re considering gemstones, try looking at sapphires, aquamarine or amethyst. Warm Skin Tone If you’ve concluded that you have a warmer skin tone, you should definitely try golds and rose golds to complement your skin. Silvers and white gold can look good on warm tones, but they can sometimes seem a little lost. Complementing your warm skin with warm jewellery can elevate your look! The best gemstones for warm skin include rubies, emeralds and yellow sapphires! Mixing Jewellery Picking one metal to stick to is a bit of a myth, and many people change up their jewellery every day! So, don’t feel limited to just one type of metal, try mixing things up and experimenting with different jewellery!
