The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Right Jewelry for Your Skin Tone

Let’s be honest—choosing the right jewelry for your skin tone can feel like decoding ancient treasure maps. But don’t worry, we’re here to make it fun, fabulous, and sparkle-proof. Whether you're a golden goddess or a cool-toned queen, this guide will help you find your everyday jewelry match made in heaven—without ever worrying about green skin or tarnished pieces.

First Things First: What’s Your Skin Tone?

Before diving into the tarnish free jewelry treasure chest, let’s figure out your skin tone. Here’s a quick and fun way to do it:

• Cool Undertones: Your veins look blue or purple, silver looks great on you, and you probably burn before you tan.

• Warm Undertones: Your veins are greenish, gold is your BFF, and you tan like a bronze dream.

• Neutral Undertones: A mix of both! Lucky you—basically anything goes.

For Cool Tones: Silver, Platinum & White Gold FTW

Cool-toned babes, step away from the yellow gold (well, just a little). Silver, platinum, and white gold pieces will pop beautifully against your skin. Look for pieces with gemstones like sapphire, amethyst, or aquamarine to keep things icy and elegant.

Our hypoallergenic jewelry picks in silver finishes are perfect for cool tones—and bonus—they’re also sweat-proof jewelry, so you can wear them to spin class or brunch without worry.

For Warm Tones: Gold, Rose Gold & Earthy Gems

Warm-toned glow-getters, it’s time to shine in gold, brass, or rose gold. Think sun-kissed finishes and warm, earthy stones like citrine, garnet, and turquoise.

And don’t just go for the glam—go for the jewelry that doesn’t tarnish. That way, your favorite pieces stay looking fresh (and not funky) for years to come.

For Neutral Tones: You Get the Best of Both Worlds

Gold? Yes. Silver? Also yes. You’re the lucky unicorn of the jewelry world. Play around with mixing metals—layer some waterproof jewelry in both gold and silver tones for that cool-girl, “I just threw this on” vibe.

Just make sure you’re rocking jewelry that is safe for sensitive skin. The last thing you need is an unexpected breakout or green-ring-of-doom situation.

What About Gemstones?

Whether it’s a pop of color for date night or a dainty stone for your work friendly jewelry, gemstones can totally elevate your look. Use this cheat sheet:

• Cool tones: Emerald, sapphire, topaz, amethyst.

• Warm tones: Amber, coral, garnet, peridot.

• Neutral tones: Literally everything. Go wild.

Pro tip: Choose jewelry that doesn’t make your skin turn green by checking for nickel-free, hypoallergenic materials.
