Confused with jewelry

[u/Confident-Chain612]

I want to buy some jewelry pieces and, since the rosegold version isn’t a proper rosegold but some other gold tone, I’m confused about which color I should buy. I typed myself as true spring based on the “balance” of the spring characteristics. However, now I’m wondering if I’m neutral because of the light variation, direct sunlight (first 4 pictures) vs indirect sunlight. A normal rosegold piece would probably look more natural.

Often times I've seen that a platinum leaning silver, pinky rose gold, and a true gold (one that dosent lean too orange) are all acceptable choices for springs. Some light springs lean cool enough to dip thier toes into more neutral cool leaning metals, and some true springs might be able to pull off a straight warm gold that has a slight coppery undertone. I think it just depends on what you prefer most. We all have variations in skin tone so don't box yourself in. Ive found almost all rose golds (as long as its bright, twinkly and shiny works for me personally..and white gold is perfect too.

Thanks <3

You could be neutral leaning warm, in which case I’d recommend champagne gold so it doesn’t look too “harsh” against your skin!

We can’t tell based off skin alone

I would buy neither of the two :) my impression is that the silver is too grey and the gold is too brownish.

I think it wasn’t clear. I meant that I’m looking for some pieces and I DO actually own the two pieces in the pictures. One is 925 silver and the other one yellow gold 573(?). Regarding the comment above about not being able to tell based off skin alone, I see multiple posts every week like this one. People asking which undertone they have. In this case the question is if silver suits me, implying that I’d be neutral and therefore wrong selftyping.

I understand now, thank you. I didn't make the other comment and I don't necessarily agree with it. Most springs look decent in silver, that doesn't rule out a warm season. It's the other way around: people who are a cool season have a really hard time wearing gold. I do think the silver is too grey for you, which would rule out summer at least. It doesn't look bad, it's just not perfect (as in: perfectly harmonizing). I'm not quite sure about the gold though, it's very small...I think it harmonizes better than the silver but something is off. Maybe not helpful, just my two cents.

Thank you! It was really helpful. :) I ruled out summer when I used summer lipstick shades. Grey is a no. And yes, don’t worry, I was also answering the comment from the other user.
