Silver or gold. Which jewelry makes a woman look more beautiful?

What kind of jewelry makes a woman look her best? The kind she likes best. You can't look good in something you're not convinced about. However, if we look at the issue objectively, it's the kind that best matches her skin tone. Silver-colored jewelry (silver, white gold, platinum) suits so-called cool beauty types, while gold-colored jewelry suits warm beauty types. What does it mean to be a cool or warm beauty type?

Colors are divided into warm (yellow, orange, red) and cool (blue, green, purple). By mixing any color with yellow, you can warm it up, and by mixing it with blue, you can cool it down. Let's imagine something red, such as a tomato. Red itself is a warm color. Most tomato varieties range in color from orange to warm red. Raspberries are also red, but it is a completely different red – cool, verging on dark pink. The same red color can therefore be warmed with yellow (tomato) or cooled with blue (raspberries). The same is true for women. A light blonde can have both a warm skin tone and hair with golden highlights (a touch of yellow) or a cool skin tone and ash-colored hair (a touch of blue). Whether she is a warm or cool type of beauty is easiest to assess in daylight, without makeup. Just put on something blue and then something yellow and assess which color makes your skin look healthier and more beautiful. A cool type of beauty looks sickly in yellow, while a warm type looks radiant – and vice versa.


Cool types should wear silver jewelry, warm types should wear gold jewelry, and this division is sufficient to choose the right jewelry. However, it can be done even more precisely.

BEAUTY TYPES


The most popular classification of beauty types compares women to spring, summer, fall, and winter. Spring and fall are warm, while summer and winter are cold. Spring and summer are delicate and subtle, while autumn and winter are expressive and contrasting. Taking this classification into account allows for a better choice of jewelry color. This is especially true for spring and autumn – warm beauty types. Both summer and winter wear silver jewelry, but other gemstones will suit them. 

Spring – warm, bright, delicate, low contrast

The ideal jewelry color for spring is light, straw-yellow gold, which goes well with stones such as emeralds, turquoise, or warm-toned pearls.

Summer – cool, light, subtle, low contrast

Summer, as a cool beauty type, should choose silver-colored jewelry: silver, white gold, platinum. It looks beautiful in most shades of blue, pink, and purple, so stones in these colors will suit it best. Pearls are also a good alternative.

Autumn – warm, dark, expressive, contrasting

Autumn suits red gold best, which goes well with amber, coral, warm shades of rubies, and deep green peridot.

Winter – cool, dark, sharp, contrasting – can have both dark and snow-white complexions

Winter looks best in silver, white gold, and platinum. Southern beauty types can also wear yellow gold. Diamonds and gemstones in dark, cool colors suit her well.
