How To Match Colors To Skin Tone

Gold Versus Silver Jewelry

For those who enjoy wearing jewelry, everyone typically has a preference between gold and silver or platinum colored pieces. Although this preference does sometimes play into matching skin tone and color, this is not how it usually works. To determine what kinds of colors will match with your skin tone, get a piece of gold jewelry and a piece of silver. If necessary, you can likely try on a couple of bracelets in a jewelry store if you do not have what you need at home.

Although most people can pull off both gold and silver jewelry, one will often look measurably better than the other. Gold jewelry tends to look better on individuals with a warm skin tone, and silver jewelry on those with a cool undertone to their skin.
