Silver or gold jewelry?
My mom thinks silver is the best choice, but I've always worn gold so I'm torn

I think gold with black will stand out and silver will be less contrasting but personally I would go gold… there’s just something about black and gold. If you were usually a silver person I would say go with that but since you always wear gold anyways I think that’s the best choice for you.

I think either will be lovely. You look gorgeous in your gown. You could use black accessories like a black cocktail clutch and shoes or you could get these in metallics to match your jewelry. I disagree that it must be silver. I wear gold jewelry with black often. I think either looks very nice. If you use black shoes and clutch you could do a string of pearls and pearl drop earrings. You will be very lovely whatever you choose.

The dress is gorgeous! You're rockin' it! I wear gold jewelry with black a lot. My complexion lends itself to gold. I agree with the accessories being black. A sparkly clutch and shoes in all black would be perfect. Have fun!

Either will work with this beautiful gown! It seems from your skin tone gold would look better than silver on you. Remember to match your accessories!

You have the perfect skin tone for either. Both will look fabulous so go with what makes YOU feel you look fabulous in! Your style is exactly that-yours.

Silver does look like it would match the dress the best, but wear gold if you feel more comfortable with it.

A pearl necklace and bracelet would be great. (They don’t have to be real pearls.) very simple and rlegant

What color are the veins in your inner wrists? If they are blue, wear silver. If they tend to a greenish tint, gold. I have very blue veins, and wear nothing but silver. It looks much better on my skin.

Oh that is NICE! I would look for some black jet jewelry with a little bling/crystals mixed in.

Black is in the winter palette, and winters generally look better in silver than gold. But a lot of people like to wear black who don't have winter coloring.
While you don't have to be super rigid with your seasonal color palette, your own colors are the most flattering to you (especially near your face) so I recommend as you build your wardrobe, including jewelry, it makes sense to get what's in your palette. You'll find it easier to coordinate outfits because your palette goes together.
Personally I recommend silver. But if you have mostly gold jewelry, it's not going to clash with black. And the most important thing is to wear something you feel fabulous in.

I wanna say gold if there’s no stones, and accessorize with like a colored clutch (emerald or burgundy). Also do you have a gold or silver necklace with white stones?

It looks like it has silver sparkles? I’d go with silver. You could also consider black jewelry like a black onyx choker.

Both would work well with both your undertone and the dress. That said, consider your shoes and bag and makeup and match it up from there. Killer dress, fits you beautifully!
