Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall: Matching Handmade Silver Jewellery to Your Skin Tone

Have you ever noticed that some colours look better on you than others? That's because of your skin tone, and those who are experts at helping us fill our wardrobe with clothes that will make us look our best, have created a system whereby we can identify the tone of our skin with one of the seasons of the year, and choose the colours most likely to flatter us. This system also works for gemstone jewellery – and after all, we all wear jewellery so we can look our best. Handmade silver jewellery is always a good bet, as it looks great on everyone. Nevertheless, here are some tips to help you ramp up your style, and choose the best handmade silver jewellery for your skin tone.

Handmade silver jewellery for a Winter skin tone:"Winter" complexions have blue or pink undertones. Women with this complexion often have brown hair and dark eyes. If this describes you, then you will look good in stark, clear colours like black onyx, pearls, and bright tourmaline. You should prefer handmade silver jewellery with translucent to opaque pastel gemstones, and should completely avoid handmade silver jewellery with orange or yellowish gemstones like the carnelian and topaz.

Handmade silver jewellery for a Summer skin tone:"Summer" complexions also have blue or pink undertones, but tend to have blonde hair and pale eyes. If this sounds like you, then favour hanmade silver jewellery with milky pastel and soft neutral gemstones like the rose quartz and smoky topaz. Lavender gemstones like the amethyst, and pale blue gemstones like the blue topaz, will also complement the Summer skin tone when set in handmade silver jewellery. However, if this is your skin tone, you should avoid handmade silver jewellery with black onyx and carnelian or amber gemstones.

Handmade silver jewellery for a Spring skin tone:"Spring" complexions have golden undertones and are usually creamy white or peach. Women with Spring complexions often have straw-coloured or strawberry-blonde hair and freckles, and blue or green eyes. Does this sound like you? Then choose handmade silver jewelery with warm-coloured gemstones, such as golden yellow topaz, and avoid handmade silver jewellery with darker gemstones like the garnet.

Handmade silver jewellery for an Autumn skin tone: "Autumn" complexions also have golden undertones, but tend to have brown or auburn hair and golden-brown or hazel eyes. If this describes you to a "t", then your skin tone will be complemented by warm colours, like those found in yellowish-orange amber and carnelian and olive-green jade, which will make you look smashing when worn in handmade silver jewellery. However, stay away from handmade silver jewellery with bluish gemstones like turquoise and tourmaline.
