When it comes to selecting jewelry, it's not just about the style or the outfit you're pairing it with—it's also about finding pieces that complement your unique skin tone. The right jewelry can enhance your natural beauty, making your skin glow and your features pop. But how do you know which metals and colors will look best on you?
In this guide, we'll help you discover how to choose the right jewelry for your skin tone, so you can shine confidently every day.
Identify Your Skin Undertones
Before diving into jewelry selection, it's essential to understand your skin's undertone. Skin tone refers to the surface color, while undertone is the subtle hue beneath the surface. There are three main undertones:
- Cool Undertones: Hints of pink, red, or blue.
- Warm Undertones: Hints of yellow, peach, or golden.
- Neutral Undertones: A balance of both cool and warm undertones.
How to Determine Your Undertone:
The Vein Test: Look at the veins on your wrist. If they appear blue or purple, you have cool undertones. If they look greenish, you have warm undertones. If it's hard to tell, you might have neutral undertones.
Match Jewelry Metals to Your Undertones
Once you know your skin tone, choosing the right metals becomes much easier:
- Warm Tones: Gold jewelry is your best friend. The rich, yellow hue of gold complements the warmth in your skin, giving you a radiant glow. Rose gold is also a fantastic choice, as its blush tones enhance warm undertones beautifully.
- Cool Tones: Silver, platinum, and white gold are ideal for cool-toned skin. These metals enhance the pink or bluish undertones in your complexion, creating a sleek, sophisticated look.
- Neutral Tones: Lucky you—both gold and silver look great on neutral tones! You can mix and match metals effortlessly to suit your style and outfit.
Choose Gemstones That Flatter Your Tone
Gemstones can add a splash of color and personality to your jewelry, but certain hues can work better with specific skin tones:
- Warm Tones: Earthy shades like amber, citrine, garnet, and turquoise enhance the golden warmth of your skin. Olive green and rich reds are also stunning choices.
- Cool Tones: Jewel tones like sapphire, emerald, amethyst, and ruby bring out the cooler undertones in your skin. Icy shades like aquamarine and blue topaz also complement cool tones beautifully.
- Neutral Tones: You can pull off almost any gemstone! Experiment with both warm and cool shades to see what feels most “you.”

Balance Your Outfit
While your skin tone plays a big role, don’t forget to consider the colors of your outfit. Jewelry should complement both your complexion and what you’re wearing. For example, if you’re wearing warm earth tones, gold jewelry will tie everything together, while silver pairs beautifully with cooler, pastel shades.

Consider Your Hair and Eye Color
Skin tone is crucial, but don't forget that your hair and eye color can also influence which jewelry looks best on you.
- Dark hair and eyes: Bold, vibrant gemstones and high-contrast metals can make a striking statement.
- Light hair and eyes: Delicate pieces in softer hues can enhance your features without overwhelming them.
- Red or auburn hair: Warm metals like gold and gemstones in green or earthy tones can complement your hair beautifully.
