To determine your skin type, a look at the veins on the underside of your wrists can help. If the veins appear bluish, you are more likely a cooler silver type; if the veins appear more greenish to yellow, you are more likely a warm gold type. Pale skin often looks better with silver jewelry, while warm skin, such as your tanned skin in summer, often looks more beautiful with gold jewelry.
Another way to analyze your skin type is to look at your eye and hair color; people with dark, e.g., brown eyes and hair often look better in gold, while people with light, e.g., blue eyes and blonde hair often look better in silver.
But it is also important to pay attention to your style and gut feeling and only wear what makes you feel comfortable.
Maybe you sometimes ask yourself, which of my outfits best combines with my jewelry pieces? Which of my outfits goes better with silver necklaces or earrings; which perhaps better with my gold bracelets and rings?
Especially slightly more extravagant looks often appear more modern with silver. Elegant, minimalist looks are beautifully accentuated by gold jewelry pieces.
Clothing in earthy and elegant tones harmonizes very well with gold jewelry. While looks in pastel colors or cool blue tones can be very well combined with silver.
However, it is important to note that these are just guidelines; it is essential to maintain or find your own style. Only then is it possible to create a completely unique look and make your style by combining your earrings or necklaces in new and different ways, rather than strictly adhering to style guidelines.
To determine your color type, the following factors of your personal color space are taken into account based on classical color theory: your skin undertone, your hair color, and your eye color.
First of all, it can be said that spring and autumn types have a green, yellow skin undertone, which is why warm gold tones often suit them better. Summer and winter types have a blue skin undertone and thus belong to the cool color types, for which silver tones often suit better. Also, feel free to read the section above to determine your skin type.
Often, however, it is difficult to assign oneself to a specific type. There are also nuances and mixtures of seasonal types, so it is often enough to be able to identify as a warm or cool type in order to better assess one's style.
Spring
The spring type is described in the seasonal theory as a type with warm peach-colored skin that tends to have freckles and a golden tan in the summer.
The eyes are often bright, ranging from green to amber, and hair colors vary from blonde to copper blonde to medium brown shades.
Spring types are thus warm types, golden warm colors and therefore gold jewelry fit well here.
Summer
The summer type is associated with a rosy, delicate complexion with a bluish undertone. Often, they have cool eyes, such as ice blue, and their hair is frequently light, platinum blonde, or ash brown. In summer, they are prone to sunburn and freckles.
Summer types are therefore rather cool skin types, well-covered colors such as shades of blue fit well here, which can be wonderfully combined with silver jewelry.
Autumn
The autumn type, as a counterpart to the spring type, is said to have warm skin tones. However, this type often does not tan well in the sun, has rather pale skin, brown to red hair, and the eyes are olive green or brown, while the hair is often brown to almost black.
Autumn types are therefore warm types, all beautiful dark autumn colors fit here, which looks particularly beautiful with gold jewelry.
Winter
The winter type, as a counterpart to the summer type, is described in seasonal color theory as having a light porcelain complexion combined with black or dark hair and cool piercing blue or brown eye colors.
Winter types are thus cold skin types; bright cold colors like white, black, or blue go well here in combination with silver jewelry.
