The Style Guide

Silver, Gold or Both

Black and white portrait with a silver chain

There are no rules, but your skin is a good place to start. Cool undertones come alive in silver, warm ones glow in gold. And if both work, even better.

01 / 05

Gold earrings close to the face

Warm or cool?

Pink or bluish undertones usually suit silver. Golden or peachy undertones usually suit gold.

Not sure? Hold one of each close to your face in daylight and look at your skin, not the jewellery. Whichever makes you look brighter is your starting point.

02 / 05

Hoops worn close to the face

Close to the face

Use it where it shows most: your ears and your neckline.

Cool tone? Try Small Swirl Hoops or Fat Hoops in silver. Warm tone? The same shapes in gold.

It is not about which metal is better. It is about what happens when you put it on.

03 / 05

Statement hoops in gold

Size matters

The more metal near your face, the more the colour counts. With a small hoop the difference is subtle. With Basket Hoops or Sphere Hoops there is more metal catching the light, so the right tone does more.

Further down, we care much less. Rings, bracelets and long necklaces are where you can forget about undertones.

04 / 05

Gold and silver worn together

Mix your metals

Suiting one metal doesn't mean wearing only that one. Keep the metal that makes you glow near your face, then mix from there.

Silver suits you? Wear Bubble Earrings in silver with the Icon Collect Bracelet or Row Ring in gold. Gold is your colour? Bring silver in at the wrist or in the ring stack.

05 / 05

Mixed metal jewellery

Make it your own

Knowing your tone is useful. Following it every day isn't necessary.

Silver suits your skin but you love an oversized gold hoop? Wear it. Gold is technically your colour but your favourite necklace is silver? Keep it close.

Start with what makes you glow. Then mix everything else.

So, silver or gold?

Cool tone, silver near your face. Warm tone, gold. The rest is up to you.
