The Perfect Jewelry to Compliment Your Skin Tone

Ever wonder what the perfect color in jewelry is for your skin tone? Well I've got you covered! 

Firstly you need to find out what your skin tone is and it's actually quite simple. Turn over your forearm and look at the large veins. If they look blue then you have cool skin tones and if they look more green than blue you have a warm skin tone. 

Cool Tone 

The best materials to wear in your jewelry are also cool toned. Silver, platinum and white gold are the best for metals and as far as gemstone color you can go for vibrant or soft shades with blue tones. This means jewelry colors like lapis lazuli, amethyst, rhodochrosite, and any stone or gem with a more blue side than yellow or green. Also bright white in pearls and clear gems like quartz will be stunning on your skin.

Warm Tone

If you lean more to the warm tone then stay in this area when it comes to your choices. You will look great in metals such as yellow gold, brass, copper and rose gold. For gems, choose those with colors that are more earthy and have a yellow or pink tone like citrine, tiger eye, Star rutile quartz, and Red coral. Basically colors that lean toward the yellow tone. For pearls stick to those that are creamy shades. 

 This information is just a general coverage so, if you love jewel tones and blue and have warm skin tone than I suggest that your hair color can definitely play a part in whether or not these colors will look good on you. As an example I have warm tones in my skin but my hair is almost black. Because of this I am able to wear almost every color without issue. I suggest playing around with a color wheel or simply trying on a piece of jewelry if you love it and see if it compliments you or washes you out. 

I hope this helps you to choose the perfect pieces of jewelry that you will love for a long time to come!
