There are no rules — but your skin tone can be a good place to start. Cool undertones often come alive in silver, while warmer undertones tend to glow in gold.
And if both work? Even better.

01 ARE YOU WARM OR COOL?Start with your skin tone. If your skin has cooler, pink or bluish undertones, silver will often feel more natural against your complexion. If your skin has warmer, golden or peachy undertones, gold will often bring out that warmth. Not sure? Hold gold and silver jewelry close to your face in natural light and look at your skin rather than the jewelry. Which one makes you look brighter? That's your starting point. |
02 CHOOSE YOUR METALOnce you know your tone, use it where it makes the biggest difference: close to your face. For a cool skin tone, try Small Swirl Hoops or Fat Hoops in silver. For warmer skin, try the same shapes in gold. It's not about which metal is better. It's about noticing what happens when you put it on. The right metal should make you stand out first. |

03 SIZE MATTERSThe more metal you wear close to your face, the more the colour can affect your overall look. With small hoops or a delicate chain, the difference between gold and silver can be subtle. With Basket Hoops, Sphere Hoops or another statement earring, there's more metal reflecting against your skin — so choosing a flattering tone can have more impact. Further away from your face, we care much less. Rings, bracelets and longer necklaces are where you can forget about undertones and start playing. |
04 MIX YOUR METALSBeing a silver girl doesn't mean only wearing silver. And being a gold girl definitely doesn't mean giving up silver. Keep the metal that makes you glow close to your face, then mix from there. Jewelry further away from your face gives you more freedom to play. If silver suits you best, try Silver Bubble Earrings with a Golden Icon Collect Bracelet or a Golden Row Ring. If gold is your colour, bring silver into your wrist or ring stack. Mixing metals adds contrast and makes the look feel more unexpected, edgy and fun. It's also an easy way to create more combinations within your Jewelry Wardrobe. |

05 MAKE IT YOUR OWNKnowing your skin tone is useful. Following it all the time isn't necessary. Maybe silver makes your skin look brighter, but you love an oversized gold hoop. Wear it. Maybe gold is technically your colour, but your favourite necklace is silver. Keep it close. Jewelry should make you look your best, but it should also feel like you. Your Jewelry Wardrobe doesn't need to choose sides.
SO, SILVER OR GOLD?Start with what makes you glow. Cool tone? Try silver close to your face. Warm tone? Try gold close to your face. Then mix everything else. Use your skin tone as a starting point, not a rule. Know what makes you look your best. Then break the rules and mix it your way.
