THE BEST JEWELRY FOR YOUR SKIN TONE

Jewelry is what people notice first after your clothes. Jewelry itself adds a magical touch to your appearance. However, we often feel that certain jewelry colors look perfect on other people's skin. And then you start to wonder what jewelry color is suitable for your look. Certain metals and stones have a particular compatibility with human skin tones, and Sunaka Jewelry will provide some tips for choosing the right jewelry and stones for your skin tone!

What is Skin Color?

Skin color and skin tone are two different things. Your skin color (undertone) is the color of your skin from birth. It can change due to environmental factors such as sunburn. Skin tone never changes. It can be traced back by looking at your racial or ethnic origin, which consists of pigmentation, melanin, etc.

Types of Skin Tone:

There are three broad categories of skin tone - cool, neutral, and warm. The easiest way to find out your skin type is to stand in natural light and look at the veins on your wrist. And voilà, here's what you'll find: 

“Cool” skin tone - People with cool skin tones will have blue or purple veins. Their skin will easily burn when exposed to too much sun, rather than tan. This is because they have a lower amount of melanin.

“Neutral” skin tone - The color of the veins will be blue and green, in equal measure or leaning towards one or the other. When exposed to the sun, you will either tan or get sunburned. Sometimes, this can depend on which part of your body is exposed to the sun.

“Warm” skin tone – If your veins appear green, then you have a warm skin tone. If you stay too long in the sun, you tan very easily.

Matching Skin Tone with Metals

Now that you know your skin tone, it will be easier for you to choose the right jewelry. People with cool skin tones look best in light metals like silver, platinum, and white gold. Those with warm skin tones will look good in gold, rose gold, copper, and brass metals. And lucky are those with neutral skin tones, they can wear both yellow and white metals, getting the best of both worlds. They are perfectly suited to either yellow or white metals.

Since “cool” skin tones look good in silver, Sunaka Jewelry Keong Emas will be a light choice for their daily style.

For those with a “neutral” skin tone, a set from the Anggrek collection is a great choice.

The songket collection in rose gold plating is perfect for those with a "warm" skin tone.

Matching Skin Tone with Gemstones

In addition to matching your skin tone with metal colors to make your jewelry look perfect, you need to consider which gemstones suit your skin tone. Here are Sunaka Jewelry's tips for choosing gemstones that match your skin tone.  

“Cool” skin tone – For those with a “cool” skin tone, bright colors like blue and purple are very suitable as they add a touch of brightness to their skin. One perfect choice for you is amethyst, and we are confident that the Jawan Keliling collection will suit you well.

“Neutral” skin tone - Since you are a mix of both, you have the freedom to choose gemstones. In our opinion, the Asoka collection with a touch of Zircon gemstones will be the perfect jewelry for you.

“Warm” skin tone - Those with warm undertones are well-suited to colors that have yellow accents. Yellow itself is an earthy color, making it perfect with other colors like red, yellow, orange, brown, and turquoise. The Pelangi collection with citrine stones will be suitable jewelry for you.
