Gold, Platinum or Rose? How to Match Your Jewellery Metal to Your Skin Tone

 

THE SCIENCE OF GLOW: WHY METAL MATTERS

There’s more to choosing fine jewellery than carat and cut. The metal that frames your diamonds plays a vital role in amplifying your natural beauty. The right metal doesn’t just sit pretty — it sings against your skin, capturing light, tone, and presence with effortless finesse.

Whether you're sun-kissed in Santorini or draped in winter whites in Aspen, this is your definitive guide to finding your forever metal.

 

 

 

 

GOLDEN RULES FOR SKIN TONES

 

✧ WARM SKIN TONES

You likely have golden, olive, or deep skin with greenish veins and look divine in earth tones or coral hues.

Your Metals:

• 18K Yellow Gold: Radiates warmth and richness, echoing the golden undertones in your skin.

• Rose Gold: Adds a romantic contrast that enhances bronzed and caramel complexions.

• Yellow Gold Hoop Earrings with Pear Cut Diamond

 

Perfect for summer escapes to Ibiza, Tulum, or Marrakech.

 

 

 

✧ COOL SKIN TONES

You’ll notice pink or blue undertones and bluish veins; silver and jewel tones make you glow.

Your Metals:

• White Gold: Sleek and modern, it sharpens cool undertones.

• Platinum: The ultimate luxe — refined, icy, and elegant.

Sol Et Terre Recommends:

• Mixed Metals: Embrace contrast with white and yellow gold duos.

GLOWING BEYOND TRENDS

While trends may shift, your skin tone remains a constant muse. Choosing jewellery that complements your complexion allows your personal style to resonate more deeply.

Colourless diamonds look amazing on cool skin, and work really well with colourless metals like platinum and white gold.

While people with warm, yellowish undertones can really suit rose gold and yellow gold. Some people with darker complexions have cool blue undertones, and can find platinum and white gold pop really beautifully on their skin.
