“What are the best colours for me when it comes to precious and semi-precious stones?”

It’s a question I’m often asked—and the answer lies in your personal colour palette. Choosing the best jewellery colours for your skin tone can make a huge difference in how your jewellery compliments your complexion. When you know which tones enhance your natural colouring, you’ll feel more confident selecting the gemstones that truly suit you.

If you’ve had a colour analysis, your swatch is your best guide when it comes to jewellery shopping. Just like clothing, the stones that suit you best will harmonise with your skin’s undertone and intensity.

Warm Skin Tones: Earthy and Sunlit Stones

If warm tones flatter you, look for stones with golden, earthy, or sunlit undertones. These include:

• Amber

• Citrine

• Golden topaz

• Peridot

• Turquoise

These gems bring a natural glow to warm-toned skin and blend beautifully with your palette.

Amber is an excellent coloured stone for warm skin tones.

Cool Skin Tones: Blue-Based and Jewel Colours

If cool tones are your match, opt for stones with blue-based hues, such as:

• Sapphire

• Ruby

• Amethyst

• Emerald

• Icy pink tourmaline

These colours complement cool undertones and give your skin a fresh, luminous appearance.

Amethyst is one of the best jewellery colours for cool skin tones.

Consider Stone Intensity

Your best stone colours aren’t just about warm or cool—they also depend on how soft or vibrant the colour is.

• Do bold, bright stones like emerald or vibrant green sapphire make you feel radiant?

• Or do you feel more like yourself in softer gems like aquamarine or moonstone?

Your colour swatch will show you whether you suit clear and bright, muted and soft, or deep and rich tones.

Personal Meaning Matters Too

Jewellery is deeply personal. As well as colour, consider:

•  Do you prefer sparkly faceted gems, or matte and understated finishes?
•  Is the stone’s meaning or symbolism important to you (e.g. garnet for love and friendship)?
•  Does the piece reflect your personality and style?

Let Your Swatch Guide You

There’s so much to consider when choosing jewellery, but your colour swatch takes out the guesswork. Use it to find gems that:

• Flatter your natural colouring

• Reflect your personality

• Help you build a collection you’ll actually wear

Jewellery should make you feel fabulous! Choosing the best jewellery colours for your skin tone will always elevate your look—and your confidence.
