FIND YOUR SKIN TONE

The first thing you need to know is that skin tone is not the same as skin color. Your skin tone (overtone) is the color you were born with. It can be affected by the environment as it is the surface layer of the skin. Just like when we get sunburned in the summer.

Your skin tone (undertone), on the other hand, never changes, basically it always stays the same. Why? Because it is related to your ethnicity, biological makeup, and genetics, as well as pigmentation and the amount of melanin. Your skin tone falls into one of these three broad categories; cold, hot, or neutral.

And two methods can help you figure out your skin tone:

A. The easiest way is to look at the color of the veins on the inside of your arm while standing in natural light. If they look greenish, it means you have a warm skin tone. If they are either blue or purple, then you probably have a cold tone. And if you cannot determine if they are one or the other, then you probably have a neutral skin tone.

B. Another method is to examine how your skin reacts to the sun. If you very easily get sunburned without your skin getting scalded, then you probably have a warm skin tone.

If your skin instead becomes red and scalded when exposed to the sun, then you have a cold skin tone. If it varies, then you have a neutral tone.

CHOOSE METAL COLOR

Now that you know what skin tone you have, it will be much easier to find the jewelry that suits you best! If you have one …

Cold skin tone: Choose light metals such as silver, platinum, and white gold.

Warm skin tone: Gold, rose gold, copper, and brass are your best choices.

Neutral skin tone: You can use it all! You have the best of both worlds.

CHOOSE THE COLOR OF YOUR GEMSTONES

Sometimes the jewelry focuses on the stones. Therefore, you may also want to know which stones are right for your skin tone.

If you have one …

Cold skin tone: Bright colors look great because they add more glamor. When it comes to gemstones, you should consider Pearls, Blue Sapphire, Amethyst, Aquamarine, Ruby, Emerald, Opal, Tanzanite, and Zircon.

Warm skin tone: Earth tones like red, yellow, orange, brown, peach, green, and turquoise will never go wrong if you have that skin tone. Gemstones like Alexandrite, Morganatic, Period, Mandarin Garnet, Citrine, and Yellow Diamonds are always a dressy choice.

Neutral skin tone: You can choose to wear any gemstone you like as they will all compliment your skin tone.

CHOOSE THE JEWELRY THAT YOU LOVE
