One of the best accessories that is highly accessible and comes in all different forms is jewelry. There are two different main types of jewelry, those being gold and silver. Although both styles are beautiful and elegant in their own way, you may find yourself wondering why something looks off about your jewelry. That might be because you’re not wearing the right type. A great way to elevate your outfit, brighten your eye color and complexion, and make you feel more like yourself, is by finding which one suits you best. There are many ways to tell.
Silver:
To figure out if silver is the right metal for you, you need to check your skin’s undertone first. If your skin is pinkish or your veins look slightly purple and blue, that’s a sign that silver suits your skin.Another way to tell is if you get sunburns in the heat more easily. If you do, silver is the way to go. Next, take a look at your eye color. Blue or green eyes go great with silver jewelry as well as if you have blonde or red hair. All of these attributes are put into the cool-toned category like blues and greens, and jewels such as sapphire or emerald. And anything cool-toned is paired greatly with silver jewelry.
Gold:
The next metal to test is gold and, unsurprisingly, all of its characteristics will be the opposite of silver. Warm undertones are what to look for, that means if your skin looks peachy or has a yellow complexion and greenish veins, gold is the better jewelry. If you’re able to tan in the sun the whole day without burning, gold is for you. Your eyes and hair will give us our next clue: if you have brown eyes or dark hair, like brown or black, it’ll go beautifully with gold jewelry. Unlike silver, these attributes are warm-toned and colors that fall into this category are reds, browns, and overall just earthy tones.
