One of the best things about jewelry is variety. As there is variety in sizes, there is also a world of variety in colors, from the color of the metals used to the colors of the gemstones. The beauty of it is that the amount of combinations is almost endless.
Naturally, we have unique traits that make us who we are, and skin color is one of them. We want to have an accessory that will complement our looks and make us feel great about wearing it.
There are no written rules for the color of metals according to the skin tone. However, the idea behind contrasting a body part’s shape and color still stands for visual harmony. Here are my recommendations:
Light skin tone
The standard for light skin tones is white gold and silver (or any white-colored accessory). White gold has risen in popularity over time (along with rose gold) and has become a staple in almost every jewelry store. Unlike silver, white gold does not tarnish and it is easy to clean, easy to find and it looks great on almost everyone.
If your skin is more on the pale side, you might want to try yellow gold, which comes to life and stands out in your skin tone. Let your eyes be the guide, and do not be afraid to try as many pieces as necessary to find exactly what you desire.
Medium skin tone
If you have been blessed with a natural tan, you can wear any color of metal you desire. Yellow and rose gold are good options, and if you have jumped or are tempted to jump on the rose gold trend, do not hesitate and go for it. It does not have to be gold exactly, if it has those colors it will be fine.
Dark skin tone
Yellow gold looks amazing on darker skin tones. I would recommend sticking to the 14K look (less intense), but 18K and up work to make a statement. Rose gold also stands out and is trendy right now, so if you are looking to add some flavor to your collection, give it a go! Generally, I would advise against using white gold and silver because it tends to not stand out as much as other metal colors and I am all about daring looks. The material does not have to be gold as long as it has the recommended colors.
