Color analysis and jewelry: choose the right metal!
Lately, you often hear about Armocromia. What is it? We will see very soon! Today, in fact, we are talking precisely about Armocromia and jewelry: choosing the right metal to enhance your complexion is essential to look your best.
But let's start from the beginning...
Color analysis and jewelry: choose the right metal!
What is Armocromia?
Armocromia, or color analysis, is a science that combines fashion with self-confidence, leading us to discover which colors best enhance us. Armocromia, the term, means precisely "harmony among colors." Based on a careful study of our skin undertone and the nuances that characterize us most, it is possible to discover our palette, a collection of colors that suit us best. In jargon, this series of nuances is called a season, a macro group with common aesthetic characteristics: Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn, each with its peculiarities.
And, surprise surprise, we are not just talking about clothes and makeup, but also and especially accessories! Not everyone looks good in silver, for example...
How to determine your undertone?
The first step in analyzing your own colors is to discover your skin undertone. It can be warm or cool. Often this first step of Armocromia is done precisely with metals, in the form of drapes placed next to the face, to see which colors illuminate us and which do not. And so we discover that people with a warm undertone look great in gold, while those with a cool undertone are better off choosing metals like silver, white gold, and platinum.
Obviously, the shades are not limited to just the 4 seasons (too few to represent all of us, in our diversity!), but there are intermediate characteristics given by one's own contrast and the intensity of one's colors. In short: some metals also suit opposite undertones.
The four seasons
Winter
A cool undertone like ice, bright colors contrasting with porcelain-colored skin... the metal for winter people is icy. Platinum, silver, and white gold give brightness and depth to the face and body, truly allowing you to shine.
Among the gems, you can opt for an amethyst with an intense purple, but also for sapphires and rubies. Also great are some black details, just like these Damiani Damianissima earrings in silver, diamonds, and onyx allow us.
Summer
Surprisingly, Summer also has a cool undertone! Soft, pastel, slightly dusty and antique colors. The perfect match, also in this case, with silver jewelry, but if you have soft, warm-toned colors, it is possible to wear gold as well. So go ahead with combinations of white gold and yellow gold, but also rose gold, if you belong to this subgroup. For all others, pearls are also excellent, as well as precious stones like opal and pink quartz!
An example? The beautiful ''Anaconda'' necklace by Salvini in white gold, rose gold, and diamonds.
Spring
Spring, warm and bright colors! The jewelry box of Spring people is undoubtedly made of gold! Rose gold is also great, in its warmest shades. And as for precious stones, we finally find bright colors like coral, turquoise, gems in orange tones and bright green.
A bit like many of the jewels by Marco Bicego, especially regarding the Jaipur collection: a beautiful Spring!
Autumn
Last but not least, the Autumn palette is warm and sweet. From spicy colors similar to the leaves of trees this October, it makes yellow gold its metal. Metals tending towards bronze and rose gold colors are also great. In any case: warm!
Indigo, amber, topaz, citrine quartz... deep and vivid colors also in the gems, for Autumn people.
They seem perfect to me, for example, these Marco Bicego Africa earrings, in yellow gold and London blue topaz.
Color analysis and jewelry: choose the right metal!
And you, do you already know your season? Discovering Armocromia is a great help to enhance ourselves and create our personal style. Even when it comes to jewelry and accessories, choosing the right metal can really make a difference in our outfits... but also in appreciating ourselves much more!
Then, as they say, the exception proves the rule: if we love a jewel, it doesn't matter what metal it is made of, as long as it makes us feel good
