Share
Jewelry is more than just an accessory—it enhances your natural features and complements your overall look. Understanding your skin tone and color season can help you determine whether gold, silver, or mixed metals will best flatter you. Here’s your ultimate guide to discovering what metals suit you best and how to mix them for your color season! 🌼🌺
Step 1: Determine Your Skin Undertone
Before diving into color seasons, identify whether your skin undertone is warm, cool, or neutral:
-
Warm Undertones: Your skin has golden, peachy, or yellow hues. Veins on your wrist appear more green than blue.
-
Cool Undertones: Your skin has pink, red, or bluish hues. Veins on your wrist appear blue or purple.
-
Neutral Undertones: A mix of both warm and cool tones. Veins appear blue-green.
Best Metal Matches:
-
Warm tones: Gold, rose gold, or mixed metals with gold dominance.
-
Cool tones: Silver, white gold, or platinum.
-
Neutral tones: Versatile—can wear both gold and silver effortlessly.
Step 2: Find Your Color Season
Your color season is based on your natural coloring, including hair, skin, and eye color. The four main categories are Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, each with its best metal pairings.
Spring (Warm & Light)
-
Characteristics: Warm golden or peachy skin, light hair (blonde, light brown, or red), and light, bright eyes (blue, green, or hazel).
-
Best Metals: Yellow gold and rose gold enhance the warmth in your complexion.
-
Mixing Tip: Try stacking warm gold with rose gold rings or bracelets for a soft, glowing effect.
Summer (Cool & Light)
-
Characteristics: Cool undertones, fair or medium skin with pinkish hues, ash blonde or light brown hair, and light blue or gray eyes.
-
Best Metals: Silver, white gold, and platinum complement the cooler hues.

Mixing Tip: Layer delicate silver pieces with white gold for an airy, ethereal vibe.
Autumn (Warm & Deep)
-
Characteristics: Golden or olive skin, rich brown or red hair, and warm hazel, green, or brown eyes.

Mixing Tip: Blend deep yellow gold with antique or hammered textures for a natural, effortless stack.
Winter (Cool & Deep)

Best Metals: Silver, white gold, and platinum create a striking contrast.

Step 3: Experiment with Mixed Metals
If you love both silver and gold, mixing metals is a great way to add depth to your jewelry styling. Here’s how to do it right for each season:
-
Spring & Autumn: Keep gold as the dominant metal and add subtle silver accents.
-
Summer & Winter: Focus on silver but introduce gold through dainty details, such as a two-tone pendant or stacked rings.
-
Neutral Undertones: You can confidently wear any combination of gold, silver, and rose gold for a balanced, effortless mix.
