Make choosing jewelry easy with a color analysis

Choosing jewelry may seem simple, but sometimes you just feel that a certain necklace, ring, or a pair of earrings doesn’t quite work. It’s not always about the style, often it’s the color or the gemstone that doesn’t harmonize with your skin. With a color analysis, you’ll discover exactly which tones enhance your natural beauty, making it much easier to choose jewelry that truly suits you.

Whether your skin has a warm golden glow or a cooler undertone, the right combination of gold and gemstones will make you shine effortlessly.

Why skin tone matters when choosing jewelry

Your skin tone plays a bigger role than most people think. Not just when choosing clothing, but especially when it comes to jewelry, it determines whether something makes you look radiant, or a bit dull.

The undertone of your skin is the most important factor. It doesn’t change with sun exposure or self-tanning, and is therefore the best starting point for choosing your jewelry. In general, there are three undertones:

• Cool undertone: Your skin leans toward pink, blue, or red. The veins on the inside of your wrist appear more blue or purple.

• Warm undertone: Your skin has a yellow, peach, or golden glow. Your veins appear more green.

• Neutral undertone: A mix of both. You can often wear different shades of gold and gemstone colors effortlessly.
  
  

At Studio Kroewe, we’ve noticed that warmer skin tones pair beautifully with yellow gold and gemstones in earthy, rich hues such as green, brown, or champagne. People with cooler undertones often glow in clear or pastel shades like blue, pink, or white, all stunning against the timeless glow of gold.

Jewelry tip: Hold different gemstones next to your face in natural daylight. The color that makes your skin look fresher and more vibrant is usually the right direction for your personal color analysis.

What suits your skin tone best

One of the questions we’re asked most often is: “Which type of jewelry suits me best?”
The short answer? It depends on your undertone and the colors that make you look most alive. Since Studio Kroewe only works with gold jewelry, we focus on how gold tones and gemstones complement your complexion.

For warm skin tones

Warm undertones are complemented by shades that enhance the natural glow of your skin. Think of:

• Yellow gold: classic, timeless, and full of warmth

• Green and brown gemstones: such as emerald, tourmaline, smoky quartz, or amber

• Orange and champagne hues: like citrine or topaz
  
  

These colors bring out the warmth in your complexion and create a sun-kissed, natural look.

For cool skin tones

If your skin has a cooler undertone, you’ll shine in colors that add a soft contrast to the warmth of gold:

• Soft blue and green hues: like aquamarine, turquoise, or light green peridot

• Light pink and purple tones: such as rose quartz or amethyst

• White gemstones or mother-of-pearl: for a fresh, elegant appearance
  
  

jewelry tip: Soft pastel gemstones create a beautiful balance between the warm glow of gold and the coolness of your complexion.

For neutral skin tones

If you find it difficult to tell whether your skin is warm or cool, you likely have a neutral undertone, and that means you can enjoy the best of both worlds. You can play freely with gemstone colors: from soft tones like pink or light blue to richer hues like emerald green or cognac brown. Gold always provides a timeless base that ties everything together.

How your skin tone affects your jewelry choices

The right combination of gold and gemstones does more than just look nice – it enhances your natural features. When the colors of your jewelry harmonize with your skin, your eyes, hair, and complexion stand out even more. Your skin looks smoother, your gaze brighter, and your entire look effortlessly refined. A few simple ways to match your jewelry to your skin tone:

1. Use natural light when trying on jewelry. Artificial light can distort colors. Always check your jewelry in daylight to see what truly works.

2. Look at your wardrobe. If you often wear warm tones like beige, brown, or terracotta, then gemstones with golden, green, or amber undertones will suit you perfectly. If you prefer cool tones like blue or white, pink, lavender, or light green gemstones are beautiful options.

3. Consider your makeup. Warm bronzers and golden eyeshadows enhance the glow of yellow gold, while cooler blushes and highlighters pair beautifully with soft gemstone shades.

4. Choose accents consciously. Delicate gold jewelry with colored gemstones can elevate your outfit without being overwhelming.
   
   

Color analysis tip: You can have a professional color analysis done, but with a bit of color awareness and natural light, you can get very far on your own. Trust your first impression, it’s often right.

At Studio Kroewe, we believe that jewelry is more than just an accessory, it’s an extension of your personality. By understanding which colors enhance your natural beauty, you can make more conscious choices and enjoy your gold jewelry even more.

In short

A color analysis helps you discover which gold tones and gemstone colors best complement your skin tone:

• Warm skin = yellow gold with green, brown, or amber stones

• Cool skin = yellow gold with blue, pink, or white stones

• Neutral skin = freely mix warm and cool gemstone colors
  

Whether you prefer minimalist designs or subtle color accents, the right color analysis helps you find gold jewelry that not only looks beautiful, but truly feels like you.

And that’s exactly what Studio Kroewe jewelry is made to do, highlight your natural beauty: subtle, timeless, and crafted with care.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know what undertone I have?

Your undertone is the subtle hue beneath your skin’s surface, and it doesn’t change with tanning or seasons. The easiest way to find it is to look at the veins on your wrist in natural daylight:

• If they appear blue or purple, you likely have a cool undertone.

• If they look green or olive, you probably have a warm undertone.

• If you can’t really tell, you may have a neutral undertone, which means most colors suit you beautifully.

Lighting can make a big difference, so check near a window or outside for the most accurate result.

Which color suits my skin tone better, gold or silver?

It depends on your undertone, and your personal style, of course.

• Warm undertones tend to glow in gold jewelry, especially yellow and rose gold.

• Cool undertones often look radiant in silver or white gold.

• Neutral undertones are lucky: you can easily wear both and even mix metals for a modern look.
