When it comes to choosing between silver and gold jewellery, considering your skin tone really can make all the difference! Here’s a quick guide to help you determine which metal suits you best:
First, identify your skin tone
To determine which metal would match better with your skin tone, you’re going to need to identify your undertones first. To do this, step out into the sun, or put your wrist under a flashlight:
If your veins appear blue or purple, and you tend to look better in white clothing, you likely have cool undertones.
If your veins appear greenish and you find that earthy tones suit you best, you probably have warm undertones
If you have difficulty categorising your undertone or notice a mix of blue and green veins, you might have neutral undertones.

Silver for cool undertones
For cool undertones, jewellery in silver tones tends to look best. Silver jewellery, with its almost blue and grey undertones, enhances the natural ‘coolness’ of the complexion, creating a balanced look that doesn’t clash with your skin tone. Pops of silver, whether it be with a dainty necklace, a bracelet, earrings, or rings can look gorgeous with cool undertones.

Gold for warm undertones
Warm undertones are beautifully complemented by gold jewellery. The richness of gold, especially in shades like yellow and rose gold, harmonise with the warmth of the skin, which creates a glow that adds depth to warm undertones. Plus, gold’s reflective properties capture and reflect light, further accentuating the softness of warm undertones.
Both for neutral undertones
If you’ve got neutral undertones, you get the best of both worlds – both silver and gold jewellery can look good on you. You’ve got the freedom to mix and match.
