Think again if you believed diamond cut and clarity were the only factors to consider while purchasing jewelry! Colored diamonds have been in the limelight for a few seasons now, and although any piece is guaranteed to make a statement, some colors may match your skin tone better than others. Look through these tips to find out more about matching jewelry and skin tone to improve your diamond knowledge and select the finest buy for your own style, whether you're shopping for necklaces, rings, bracelets, or earrings.

Determine Skin Tone

Take time to evaluate your skin tone before you start looking for jewelry. Although your skin's top color may fluctuate as a result of sun exposure, rosacea, or high temperatures, the undertone always remains consistent. To determine your skin's underlying tone, examine if you fall into one of the following categories:

• Warm: If you do tan readily and don't burn easily, your skin has a warm undertone of olive or yellow. If you are of African American or Indian origin, you have a warm skin tone, yet certain deep black skin tones might have a chilly, blue undertone instead.
• Cool: If you do not tan as well and get easily burned, your skin has cool undertones (bluish-red or pink). If you are someone who flushes easily, you have a cool skin tone.
• Neutral: If your skin doesn't appear to fit into either of these categories, you may have neutral undertones. Neutral skin complements the majority of hues, making it easy to choose jewelry, clothes, and cosmetics.

If you're not sure which group your skin belongs in, check at the veins on the inside of your wrists. If you suspect that your veins look greenish in hue, your skin has warm undertones. If they seem blue or purple, you have cool undertones.

Warm Skin Tone

If you've determined that you do have a warm skin tone, there are a myriad of colors that will compliment you. Colors with gold highlights, such as orange, yellow, green, and champagne, will be the perfect compliments to your complexion. Consider placing your gems in yellow to make them glow even more brightly for the most beautiful outcomes.

Cool Skin Tone

A plethora of different diamonds will look beautiful on you if you have a cool skin tone. Colors like violet, red, pink, purple, and magenta will pop against your complexion, as will more subtle hues like black and gray. Placing the diamonds in silver-toned metals, such as platinum and white gold, will enhance their radiance.
