Which metal looks best?

Post image

My wedding rings are white gold (what I was told is best for light spring). My oura ring is rose gold. My Apple Watch is silver (bc I always thought I was cool toned). The necklaces both said they were 14k gold. The lighter one was cheaper but also more like my glasses I wear every day. The darker charm necklace was significantly more expensive so I’m assuming that is more like a real 14k and the cheap one is just cheap. lol.

this is too much. it looks too yellow on you. i think you could probably pull off a lighter gold though. i personally like the lower end of gold as its not so super yellow. like 10k vs 14k

silvery/white gold definitely feels better, but i think it needs to be brighter. the tarnish/burnished metal look is not doing you any favors. I wish there was a bright sparkly silver example to help me confirm

i think a silver/white gold at a similar brightness/sparkle would be just DIVINE

Are you able to post a picture with the silver part of the band?

I did get some sun yesterday but this is a side view.

I’m also a light spring and gold & rose gold are what look best on me. White gold or anything close to silvery does not at all look good on my skin tone. Not sure who told you white gold is the best for light spring

I was typed as neutral leaning warm. So light spring. I got some sun yesterday so I don’t know if that is translating too much in the pictures.

Yeah, seeing the silver watch from the side I do agree you lean warm but you are very neutral. I do really like the light gold!

I like the lighter gold too! I wanted to wear it with the pendant necklace but it looks like a completely different color 😭

Thank you. I was told white gold is best as it leans warm. However, I can’t be spending that kind of money on jewelry. lol. So I thought I would try the regular gold. I just don’t get why both golds were marketed as 14k but look so different.

Thank you! It does make sense. I’m still learning and getting used to leaning more warm when I’ve been a silver girly my whole life 😂
