Did you know that wearing golden or silver jewelry is not only about personal preference? It is also about connecting with your essence, through colorimetry, a technique (or rather, an art) capable of identifying the colors that best match your skin, eyes, and hair. In this article, we guide you to discover which finish suits you best according to your colorimetry season so that you can then choose the jewelry that most flatters you.
How can I discover my colorimetry?
Colorimetry is a technique that is used to identify the colors that best combine with each person’s natural features with a view to enhancing their natural beauty and achieving harmony and, to do this, it is based mainly on skin tone, eye color and hair color. If you do a colorimetry, you will see that one of the steps is to analyze the effect of different colors on your face: some tones will add light, while others will make you look dull. The results of this “study” are classified into 4 seasons: winter, spring, summer, and fall. Depending on the season you are, certain colors, and in the case of jewelry, certain finishes or metals, will flatter you.
Silver or gold colorimetry according to your season
At Joidart we have prepared this simple guide so that you can discover your season and, with that information, select your favorite jewelry. Practically all our collections are designed in two finishes: 925 silver and 24 K gold-plated metal.
Winter colorimetry: silver jewelry to enhance deep, cold tones
You are winter if you have fair skin with a cool or olive undertone. Vibrant colors that create contrast and silver or white gold jewelry flatter you because the cold and shiny tones of the silver enhance your natural contrast and add luminosity.
Earrings are the jewelry pieces that will best define your face: for everyday wear you can choose simple designs like these earrings from the collection Dalí, Jewelry by Joidart, or these more minimalist ones from the Lignis collection. When choosing a necklace, make sure both the chain and the pendant are silver, like the Pampalonia silver necklace.
Spring colorimetry: gold jewelry that illuminates warm, light tones
If you are spring, you probably have fair skin with warm undertones, golden-blonde or light brown hair and light green or blue eyes. The jewelry that best flatters you is yellow gold or pink gold, which bring light and freshness not only to your face, but also to your neckline and hands. You will notice the effect as soon as you try these Pampalonia golden earrings or this Addaia golden ring. And if your eyes are green, in the Collage collection you will find a set with earrings, a necklace and a ring with green hues, ideal for you.
Summer colorimetry: silver jewelry to complement soft and fresh tones
If the result of your colorimetry test was summer, you probably have a fair skin tone with a cool, pink undertone. If, in addition, your hair is fair and your eyes are light, take note. We recommend choosing silver jewelry like the Onaria collection. Our favorites are the earrings, which are ideal if you like big ones. If you like original and abstract shapes, those from the collection Dalí, Jewelry by Joidart, will surprise you. If you want to add a touch of color, the Addaia collection —the silver version— is the one for you. These earrings with green Murano crystal or this silver necklace inlaid with Murano crystals will look fantastic.
Fall colorimetry: gold jewelry that enhances warm and vibrant skin
The fall colorimetry includes skin with warm peach and golden tones, and it is very common in women with dark brown and even auburn hair. You might also fit this description if you have hazel, amber or greenish-brown eyes. The jewelry that will flatter you most is yellow gold. Why? The warm metal intensifies the golden hues and adds natural warmth. Make sure to have some versatile golden earrings in your jewelry box for everyday wear, such as these Stardust hoops or these Arai earrings. If you prefer bigger earrings with more original shapes, here are some more options. You can also opt for jewelry pieces with small hints of color such as those from the collection Miró Jewelry by Joidart.
Now it’s your turn: it’s time to try different pieces and find out for yourself the effect of choosing the right finish. When you’re sure, take a look at our collections, there is a piece of Joidart jewelry waiting for you.
