Choosing the right jewelry goes beyond personal preference. Understanding how specific metals and gemstones interact with your skin tone significantly impacts how jewelry looks on you. At Marks Of Design, your trusted luxury jewelry store in Shelton, CT, we're here to guide you through this process.
Understanding Your Skin Tone
Skin tones are usually categorized into three types: warm, cool, and neutral. Your skin tone isn't determined by your skin color but rather the undertone that shines through.
-
Cool skin tones have a pink, red, or blue undertone. Your veins appear blue or purple under natural light.
-
Warm skin tones have a yellow, peachy, or golden undertone. Your veins seem green under natural light.
-
Neutral skin tones are a mix of cool and warm undertones, with veins that often appear colorless or match the color of your skin.

Choosing the Right Metal
Depending on your skin tone, some metals will complement you better than others.
-
Cool skin tones: Platinum, white gold, or silver, can enhance your cool undertone.
-
Warm skin tones: Gold or rose gold metals will flatter your warm undertone.
-
Neutral skin tones: You are fortunate because both gold and silver metals will suit you.
At Marks Of Design, we offer a range of metals in our fine gold and silver jewelry in Shelton, CT.
Choosing the Right Stones
Depending on your skin tone, certain gemstones can complement your look more effectively.
-
Cool skin tones: Opt for stones like amethyst, aquamarine, or zircon. Diamonds, with their clear quality and high brilliance, can also complement cool skin tones well.
-
Warm skin tones: Gemstones like citrine, garnet, morganite, or emerald will enhance your warm undertones.
-
Neutral skin tones: With a neutral skin tone, you can experiment with a variety of gemstones that can suit your unique personality.
