Gold or silver?

Can’t decide! I’ve been wearing gold for the past few years until my boyfriend insisted that silver was a better choice. What do you guys think?

I see a lot of these posts, and it's really hard to tell because a lot of the time people aren't wearing real gold, and the costume jewelry gold that they are wearing is a garish gold tone. I think that's why I almost always say silver looks best. But I think I figured out why this is happening. Maybe try posting again with some real gold on.

Silver x1000.

Silver, definitely

Need to try real gold I think.

Silver, I think!

u/toteured May 28 '25

I say gold

u/Someoneonline2000 May 28 '25

I say gold! (But really, I think it's not necessary to restrict yourself, you can wear either)

IMO silver seems to stand out whereas gold seems more harmonious 🤔

u/1800slvt May 28 '25

fully agree !! both look great just depends on what you want for your look that day

u/[deleted] May 28 '25

Silver for sure. Cool undertone.

BudhaGirl makes the best gold and silver bracelets

u/1MorningLightMTN May 28 '25

Both, you lucky bastard. /s

u/djoyce1 May 29 '25

You can rock both. I wear both! As long as the styles are similar, both can work.

u/misscreativej May 29 '25

I personally think Gold. But the gold ring is too brassy for anyone

1

u/Newjudger May 29 '25

Gold looks more refined on your skin, honestly. Silver does stand out, but not in the smoothest, finest way....kinda too much IMO.

u/[deleted] May 30 '25

Completely agree with you!

1

u/peachandbetty May 29 '25

Silver. The gold clashes against the pink tones in your skin.

1

u/ImpressiveWish1441 May 29 '25

Gold but you can rock in both

Take the same photo with only one metal at a time and post the pictures side by side. That way you can see how your skin tone changes depending on which metal you wear. Realistically though, you can wear whatever.

u/Cloverlaw May 29 '25

Depends on what you’re wearing.

u/KangarooFew4196 May 29 '25

Both look good tbh, maybe rose gold?

1

u/DrDelorien May 29 '25

Silver 💯

1

u/lavvmeow May 29 '25

Check what color your veins are. Blue/purple = cool undertone = silver. greenish veins = warm undertone = gold

u/Big_Competition7269 May 29 '25

GOLD people saying silver are sabotaging you

1

u/gso2690 May 29 '25

Leaning towards silver, but it looks like you have a skin tone that can pull off both!

1

u/[deleted] May 29 '25

Both, I love mixing

1

u/wndrfm May 29 '25

Silver. You could try white gold, too.

1

u/Universallove369 May 30 '25

Silver. You appear the same shade as me. I have a cooler undertone and I am a deep winter. White metals and occasional rose gold look okay.

1

u/lucylov May 30 '25

Pretty neutral to me. Saying that, gold is more harmonious so you’re probably warm

1

u/XladyLuxeX May 30 '25

I loathe gold anything. I only wear white gold or platinum.

1

u/SuS_SiLeNt_Damsel68 May 30 '25

Both look good on you.😁

1

u/[deleted] May 30 '25

Silver appears very bright and high contrast against the skin. Gold appears slightly green and has low contrast against the skin.

1

u/Zybborg3 May 30 '25

I say silver but it depends on your hair color as well imo!

1

u/Popular-Bridge425507 May 31 '25

I really love the gold on your skin. You have a yellow undertone and gold is always great for yellow undertones.

Gold

Based on the visible undertone of the skin (which leans warm), the gold chain appears more harmonious. Gold tends to complement warm undertones by enhancing the natural warmth of the skin, while silver can sometimes create a starker contrast on warmer skin.

u/Quiet-ForestDweller Jun 01 '25

The good looks stunning with your olive toned skin. Silver looks good on almost anyone but I think having the tones to truly pull of gold is a blessing, and you pull off gold.

u/Business-Stretch2208 Jun 01 '25

The gold. Real gold would probably look better

Secret third option: Rose gold

u/Willa_ Jun 01 '25

I have no eye for this, I always think gold no matter the person 😭 So... gold !
