Jewelry and Skin Tone – Which Metal Flatters You Most
Gold, silver, rose gold or platinum? The metal that flatters you most depends on your skin undertone. Learn the simple test and match metals like a stylist.
Find Your Undertone in 30 Seconds
Look at the veins on the inside of your wrist in natural light. Blue or purple veins usually mean cool undertones. Green veins mean warm undertones. If you cannot tell, you likely have neutral undertones and can wear everything. Another trick: hold a piece of white paper next to your face, if your skin looks rosy you are cool, if it looks golden you are warm.
Which Metal Matches Your Undertone
| Undertone | Best Metals | Least Flattering |
|---|---|---|
| Cool | Platinum, white gold, silver | Yellow gold (can wash out) |
| Warm | Yellow gold, rose gold | Pale silver |
| Neutral | All metals | None |
These are guidelines, not rules. Many people wear a mix of metals, and mixed-metal stacking is currently one of the biggest trends in jewelry. If you love a piece, wear it.
Mixing Metals Like a Pro
The modern way to mix metals is to keep the base consistent, for example a yellow gold ring stack with a champagne-toned watch, or white gold earrings with a silver necklace. Avoid mixing more than two tones in one outfit. Our collections use warm champagne and burgundy tones that sit naturally on most skin.

How do I know if I look better in gold or silver?
Check your veins: green = warm = gold, blue = cool = silver. In doubt, test both and see which makes your skin glow.
Can cool undertones wear rose gold?
Yes. Rose gold is warmer than yellow gold but soft enough to flatter cool skin, especially in delicate pieces.
What metal suits Asian skin tones?
Most Asian skin tones are warm or neutral, so yellow gold and rose gold are flattering, while white gold also works well for a modern look.
