Gold Versus Silver… what suits you best?

Gold versus silver, when choosing gold or silver jewelry, keep your personal style and skin colour in mind.

If you have a warm complexion, meaning your skin has a yellow or gold undertone, gold jewelry is the perfect choice for you. Gold jewelry enhances the warmth and glow of your skin. Plus, gold jewelry adds an element of sophistication to any outfit!

Silver jewelry is a good choice if you have a cool complexion, meaning your skin has a pink or blue undertone. Silver gives this skin type a fresh, young and healthy appearance. By the way, silver is very popular with the Gen Z generation and will undoubtedly make a comeback.

A good starting point is that warm colour types retain their summer tan longer and that cool color types can have their skin color very pale in winter.
Matching the colour to your eyes, skin colour and hair colour has its advantages, because with the right colour you will shine extra. But you don’t have to blindly follow these ‘rules’.

Seasons also influence your choice. In the winter period you can opt for silver jewelry if the skin is paler and, in the summer, if the skin has some colour for gold jewelry, which provides an instant ‘beach glow’ effect.

And last but not least, how about a mix of silver and gold? Mixing metals can be surprisingly beautiful and you have no trouble choosing.
A good tip when mixing material colours is to work with more or less the same material thickness. Start with an elegant, fine basic piece of jewelery and then add a second or third piece of jewelery in a different material colour. Mix different patterns and make combinations of charms with natural stones. Simplicity wins when mixing metals like silver and gold.

You have the final say on which colour you choose. Personal preference comes first, even if it “breaks the rules.”
