Find out which metal fits yourself best


Do you wonder why a type of precious metal, let's say silver, looks weird on you?

Unique 14kt Yellow Gold Fire Agate Peridot Pendant - DeSantis

Why does it look bad?

You may look in the mirror and think your 14k gold pendants doesn't suit you as well as your silver one does. This is because of your undertone, style, or maybe even your hair or eyes. If you have a warm undertone, gold will look amazing on you and can brighten your face and make you look vibrant in a gorgeous way. But if you wear silver with a warm undertone, it may make you look dull or saturated.


It's the same thing with style. If you have a neutral color style such as brown, beige, and tan, gold will make your outfit way better than silver will. Or if you wear cool, deep/dark colored clothes, silver will add an awesome pop to your outfit! If your undertone or style is mixed, rose gold is a perfect choice for you.


How to determine your undertone

There are several easy ways to find your undertone! 

  •  Look at yourself in a mirror next to a blank white piece of paper. If your skin seems rosy you have a cool undertone, if your skin seems yellow you have a warm undertone. If it's not really rosy or yellow, you're mixed.

  •  You can also do the vein test, if your veins look blue your cool, if they're green, your warm, a little blue and green? Mixed.

  •  Another test is the tan test. If you're tan, you're likely warm, if you burn before you tan you're likely cool.

  •  If you can't find out your undertone by skin color your lips can decide for you! If your lips are purplish, mauve, or blue red, you may have a cool undertone, if your lips seem peachy, coral, or brownish, your warm undertone!


At the end of the day, it's not about your undertone or lip color but about which metal makes you feel good and shine! Your undertone, hair, and lip shade can only help guide you for what gold or silver jewelry you will purchase next. And since you're already here, why don't you check out our gold and silver jewelry!
