Have you been wearing the wrong jewelry color for years? Here's how to find out

I have been wearing silver jewelry my whole life because I decided at the age of eleven that this was ‘my color’. Why? No idea. Like many eleven-year-olds, I didn't really do a thorough investigation beforehand. So when a friend recently told me cold-bloodedly on a terrace that gold would suit me much better, my world turned upside down. Aperol Spritz Because although both gold and silver can be beautiful, not every color flatters everyone in the same way. Of course, I immediately tried the well-known TikTok filters, but I didn't learn much from that. Booking an extensive color analysis seemed a bit too much for me. So I decided to scour the internet for ways to figure out at home which jewelry color suits me (and you) best.

The answer lies in your skin.

The woman on the right wears a purple sweater over a white blouse, multiple statement pearl necklaces, and black sunglasses. Both women have an elegant, chic appearance.

Whether you shine more with gold or silver jewelry has everything to do with the undertone of your skin. That undertone lies beneath the surface of your skin and does not change when you, for example, get tanner in the summer.

People with a warm undertone often have a yellow, golden, or peachy glow. With a cool undertone, you see more pink, red, or bluish tones. Sounds simple, but in practice, I found it surprisingly difficult to place myself in a box. To find out, you look at the veins on the inside of your wrist. Do they mainly look blue or purple? Then you probably have a cool undertone. If they are more greenish in color, that indicates a warm undertone. Your natural hair color can also reveal a lot. Ash blonde hair, cool brown hair without a red glow, and deep black hair with a bluish sheen suit a cool undertone. If you have golden blonde hair, warm brown tones, or.

copper-colored locks , then you have a warmer undertone. And even your eyes can give a clue. Dark brown irises are more common with warm undertones. Blue and green eyes are more often seen with a cool undertone., And then the conclusion you probably came for: a warm undertone usually looks best with gold, while a cool undertone often shines with silver.

If you are still not convinced after analyzing your veins, hair, and eyes, there are a few easy tricks you can try at home.

Grab a pure white shirt and a cream-colored shirt from your closet and take off all your jewelry. Then see which shirt makes your face shine more. Does bright white suit you better? Then you probably lean towards a cool undertone.

Does cream make your skin look fresher and healthier?. Then you are probably on the warm side.Another test is even easier. Grab a silver necklace and a gold necklace and hold them alternately under your chin while looking in the mirror. Pay close attention to your skin; with which color does it look like you had a full eight hours of sleep? Then look deeply into your eyes. With which type of metal do they seem to sparkle more?.

Finally, you can think about how your skin reacts to the sun. Are you a little tomato after a day at the beach without SPF? Or a chocolate? If you burn faster, you often have a cooler undertone. If you tan easily, that often indicates a warm undertone.
