Cool Undertones Jewelry lovers with cool undertones look best in colors that share that coolness. Think of gems with crisp, refreshing hues and bright white metals like silver, platinum, and white gold. With a cool undertone, you’ll look incredible wearing diamonds in a white metal. Consider investing in some dramatic dangling diamond earrings or a glamorous glittering diamond necklace for formal events. These styles will frame your face in sparkle and make you look your best by flattering your natural tone. Lush blue sapphires, verdant emeralds, and regal purple amethysts are some of the very best colored gemstones to accentuate a cooler-tone skin. They look spectacular in any form. Consider a chunky gemstone cocktail ring to add some pizzazz to your fingers or look for a necklace and earring set with cool-colored gems in bright white metals to light up your face. Make no mistake — cool doesn’t mean unappealing. Cool skin tone projects a clean, elegant beauty. For cool undertone inspiration, look to celebrities Anne Hathaway, Nicole Kidman, Kerry Washington, and Lupita Nyong’o.

Choosing jewelry that flatters your undertone is a fantastic way to make your jewels pop and your skin glow. Don’t forget to consider the color of the metal as well as the gemstones. Both factors can determine how well a particular style works for you. If you don’t know your undertone, one trick is to look at the veins in your wrist. Blue or purple veins typically mean you have a cool undertone, while greenish veins mean you lean toward the warmer side of the scale. A mix of colors, or veins that seem to blend into your skin usually means you have a rare neutral undertone.
