How to Discover Your Perfect Jewelry Colour Palette
When selecting jewellery, clothing, and accessories, it's essential to choose what you love while considering how colours complement your skin tone.
Here's a simple method to determine which hues will suit you best. Skin tones generally fall into two categories: cool or warm.
How to Identify Your Skin Tone
To find your skin tone/ undertones, hold a piece of white paper under your chin in natural light. If your skin appears more pink or olive, cool colours are likely your best match. If your skin leans toward yellow and tans easily in the sun, you probably have warm undertones.
You can also check your undertone by observing the palms of your hands. Hold your hands with palms facing up and observe the predominant hues: blue indicates cool undertones, yellow indicates warm undertones, and red suggests a mix of both.
Warm Undertones
For those with warm undertones, earthy tones like reds, oranges, yellows, and browns complement the golden or peachy undertones, creating a harmonious appearance. Mustard, rust, and olive green are excellent choices for a warm-toned wardrobe.
Gemstones such as amandine or rhodolite garnet, citrine, cognac diamonds, green or peach sapphires, and ruby all pair nicely with the warmer tones of yellow and rose gold.

Cool Undertones
If you have cool undertones, colours such as bright blues, green, and purple can enhance your complexion, offering a sophisticated look.
Gemstones such as pale to light emerald, amethyst, diamonds, pink or blue sapphire, and aquamarine are perfect for this skin tone. These gemstone hues pair beautifully with platinum, silver or white gold metals.

Neutral Undertones
Those with neutral undertones can wear a wide range of colours, but classic neutrals like black, white, grey, and navy often highlight their versatility. Keep in mind these universal shades serve as a solid foundation for any wardrobe, allowing for playful experimentation with accent colours.
The Gemstone varieties for neutral skin tones are navy blue Australian sapphire, grey or lavender sapphire and diamonds. These colours pair beautifully with both warm and cool metal tones.
Lifestyle and Personality
Consider aligning your wardrobe's colour palette with your lifestyle and personality. This can also give you a real boost of confidence of any of life's moments, from work presentations to social outings and personal milestones.
Use colors strategically to draw attention to or divert focus from specific features, creating flattering looks.
The Psychological Impact of Color
Numerous studies have indicated that your attire not only mirrors your mood but also has the potential to influence it.
Understanding how colours evoke emotions and shape perceptions of fashion can significantly enhance your overall mood. For example, red signifies passion and energy, whereas blue conveys calmness and tranquillity.
This awareness allows for crafting looks that effectively communicate specific moods or messages.
