Gold or silver? A guide to choosing jewelry colors
You may be wondering whether to wear gold or silver depending on your skin or eye color ? Or maybe you want to give someone jewelry as a gift but are unsure which color suits them best? And what about the "rules" for choosing jewelry colors? Don't worry, we're here to solve the mystery and help you out.
Choose gold or silver
In the past, it was often said that the choice between gold and silver jewelry depends on the color of the skin: gold suits warmer skin tones better, silver to cooler ones. These "rules" are no longer so important today, but they can serve as a guideline.
- If you have blue veins on your wrists and get sunburned easily, your skin tones are probably considered cool.
- Green veins, olive skin or a natural tan indicate warmer skin tones.
Remember that gold is often more expensive than silver because it is a more valuable precious metal. Rose gold and copper can flatter almost anyone and add an unexpected twist to your jewelry collection. Don't forget that gemstone jewelry can offer a wide range of colors and sparkle.
When choosing jewelry as a gift, pay attention to what colors the person usually wears to make the best choice.
Mix different metals: A fashion statement
It used to be said that gold and silver should never be worn together. Fortunately, things are different today! You can boldly combine different metals.
- Experiment and find what you like. Stacking rings, layered necklaces and bangle stacks are great ways to mix different metals.
- Your personal taste , aesthetic sense and budget should be the main criteria for your decision.
