Choosing the right color palette, clothes and jewelry to compliment your skin tone and overall complexion is a very intricate process. From silver and gold jewels to warm and soft color tones, it can be challenging to match what color palette suits you best. However, those problems don’t need to arise; one can find what jewels match them best using simple tips and tricks based on their natural features. 

A simple way to decide what jewelry suits you the best is based on the color of the veins on your wrist, which determine your skin’s undertone. The blue and purple colored veins coordinate with cool undertones, going along beautifully with silver jewelry. Those with cool-colored veins also have rosy undertones and tend to burn easily when exposed to the sun for prolonged periods of time. On the other side, people with teal and green veins have a warm undertone and look best in gold and rose-gold jewels. They often gain a dark tan after a long day in the sun. Some have multi-colored veins which can look nice in either gold, silver or rose-gold accessories.

Another way to choose what colors are best for your skin tone is depending on your hair and eye color. Often those with darker features, such as black, amber and brown hair, go well with gold. They match nicely with gold due to the large contrast and opposite undertones created. On the other hand, silver pairs with copper-toned brunettes and blondes, as well as those with lighter colored eyes such as gray, light blue and green, all corresponding with the cool undertone.

“Color analysis,”  a popular technique used to determine what hues match a person’s complexion best, has risen in popularity on social media within the past few years. Makeup artists, cosmetologists and fashion stylists use the method by placing a variety of colored drapes against a person’s skin, eventually figuring out what clothes, makeup and skin tones fit them best. While this method not only figures out one’s complexion, undertones are revealed, ultimately deciding what jewelry is best. 

Jewelry is a creative way to personalize one’s style, while adding dimension to any outfit and being able to tie an outfit together. Sometimes, choosing what jewelry or color palette suits you best is difficult, but often the best way to figure it out is to choose what you feel best in!
