Identifying Your Skin Tone

Before we dive into specific golds, it’s important to determine your skin’s undertone. There are three main categories: warm, cool, and neutral. 

Here’s how to identify yours:

Warm Undertones: If your veins appear greenish and your skin has golden, yellow, or peachy hues, you have warm undertones. People with warm undertones often tan easily and may have olive or dark complexions.  

Cool Undertones: If your veins appear blue or purple and your skin has pink, red, or bluish hues, you have cool undertones. People with cool undertones tend to burn quickly in the sun and may have fair or light skin.

Neutral Undertones: If you see a mix of blue and green veins or can’t determine your undertone, you likely have neutral undertones. Neutral skin tones can pull off a wider range of gold colors.

Choosing Gold for Warm Undertones

Yellow and rose gold are your best friends if you have warm undertones! These shades enhance the natural warmth of your skin, creating a harmonious glow that feels effortless.

Yellow Gold: Rich and traditional, yellow gold beautifully compliments warm skin tones. Its golden hue pairs perfectly with the natural warmth of your complexion, making it an ideal choice for both statement pieces and everyday jewelry.

Rose Gold: With its subtle pink undertones, rose gold is a fantastic option for warm skin tones. Its softness creates a romantic, flattering effect.

Choosing Gold for Cool Undertones

For those with cool undertones, white gold or platinum will enhance your skin’s natural coolness.

White Gold: This sleek, sophisticated metal complements the pink or bluish undertones of cool skin, offering a refined, polished look. Its cool hue enhances the brightness of diamonds and colored gemstones, making it a popular choice for engagement rings and classic pieces.

Platinum: For a luxe option, platinum provides a similar cool tone but with extra durability. Its icy sheen enhances the crispness of cool undertones, adding a modern touch to any look.

Choosing Gold for Neutral Undertones

Lucky you! Neutral skin tones have the flexibility to pull off both warm and cool gold tones. You can play around with different metals to find the look you love.

Yellow Gold: Classic and timeless, yellow gold can bring out the warmth in neutral skin tones without overwhelming your complexion.

White Gold and Platinum: These cool-toned metals add a sleek, polished finish to your look and pair perfectly with neutral skin.

Rose Gold: If you’re looking for a touch of romance, rose gold works beautifully with neutral undertones, offering a soft, flattering glow that complements your natural pigmentation.

Additional Tips for Choosing the Right Gold

Mixing Metals: If you’re torn between metals, don’t worry—you don’t have to choose just one! Mixing metals is a hot trend right now, and pairing yellow, white, and rose gold pieces together can create a unique, eye-catching look. 

Consider Your Wardrobe: Think about the colors you wear most often. If your wardrobe leans towards warmer tones like earth shades, browns, and reds, yellow or rose gold may pair better. If you tend to wear cooler tones like blues, greens, and purples, white gold or platinum may be a better match.
