Gold or silver? The jewellery test that actually works
Hold real gold and silver (or kitchen foil) under your chin in indirect daylight, one at a time, and look at your skin rather than the metal. If gold makes your skin look even and glowing, you likely suit warm metals; if silver does, cool metals; if both look fine, you're probably neutral and rose gold or brushed metals will suit you.
How to run the test
- Daylight, no direct sun
- No filter, bare skin
- One metal at a time
- Look at your skin, not the metal
What the result means
Gold winning points to warm seasons: Springs and Autumns. Silver winning points to cool seasons: Summers and Winters. If both look fine, look at the Soft seasons, which sit close to neutral.
Finish matters too: softer, muted seasons often look best in brushed or matte metal, while clear, high-contrast seasons can wear high shine.

Questions
Can I wear silver if I'm warm?
You can wear anything you like. Colour analysis only suggests what tends to make your skin look most even. Brushed or mixed metals are an easy middle ground.
What about rose gold?
Rose gold mixes warm and cool, so it often suits neutral undertones and the Soft seasons.
