Best Jewelry Metal for Your Skin Tone

Quick answer: To pick jewelry metals for your skin tone, first find your undertone. If the veins on your wrist look blue or purple, you likely have a cool undertone, which suits white gold, platinum and silver. If they look green, you likely have a warm undertone, which suits yellow and rose gold. If you cannot tell, you are probably neutral and can wear any metal. In the end, the metal you love is the right choice.

The right metal can make your skin glow. Here is how to find your match.

How to Find Your Undertone

Metal Tips by Undertone

Cool undertones

White metals look crisp and bright. Icy colorless stones and blue sapphires look stunning.

Warm undertones

Yellow and rose gold add a healthy glow. Warm-toned stones and champagne colors are flattering too.

Neutral undertones

You can wear everything. Two-tone and mixed metals are especially fun.

Other Things to Consider

• Your existing jewelry: match what you already wear most.
• Your watch: coordinate metals for a polished look.
• Stone color: yellow gold warms slightly tinted stones; white metals keep colorless stones icy.
• Personal style: vintage lovers often choose yellow or rose gold; modern minimalists often choose white metals.

Mixing Metals

Mixing metals is fully in style. Repeat each metal at least twice across your look, or choose two-tone pieces to tie everything together. Read how to stack wedding bands.
