How to Choose the Most Complementary Women's Rings and Jewelry - Based on Skin Tone

Did you know that there are certain types of women's rings that will look better than others on you?  Did you know that there is a fashion rule that will help you choose the most complementary ring for your skin tone?  It is true. Under the topics of gold and silver women's rings you will find more information about fashion strategy for choosing women's rings..

Personally, I have always adored women's rings. I think a woman looks bare without rings to adorn her fingers. The hands of a woman speaks volumes about her. Do you notice women who are well kept and put together have beautifully clean and manicured fingernails? Most often she has a beautiful diamond ring setting and wears more than one ring on her fingers.

Think about this. Your hands are always visible. When you talk you use them to express yourself or to make a point. You use your fingers to type and to write. You use your hands to express warmth and care as you caress your friends hand in yours.

Hands are important and they do make a statement. That's why I always notice them. I love it when women can wear a variety of rings which accent and highlight each other. It's just so feminine.

Whenever I shop I always stop to look at women's rings. They don't have to be expensive but they do have to speak to me. They have to say beauty, femininity, style, charm and uniqueness. As you can guess I have many rings and I interchange them frequently.

Having a little fashion knowledge can help you when shopping for women's rings. For instance did you know that some women wear gold better than others?

Have you ever had your 'colors' done? Have you been told your skin tone fits into the warm category or that you are a Spring or Fall? What does this mean? It means that your skin has a yellow undertone and that there are specific recommendations for the colors you should wear. When you learn which colors are best for your warm skin tone you will shop for complementary colors that bring out your true beauty.

In the realm of Jewelry that means You should wear Yellow Gold Jewelry. Yellow Gold best complements warm skin tones. If you put a silver ring on someone with a yellow undertone - it seems to clash. But yellow gold will radiate warmth and complement you.

My skin has warm undertones. The Fashion Expert that did a Color evaluation for me said that of the two categories of warm tones (Spring and Fall) that I fit in the Spring category. I have always gravitated toward Gold Jewelry. Before I got married and I was shopping for my diamond ring setting, my mother said, Mekenzie - make sure your diamond is set in silver ... she continued by saying that her mother told her to make sure she got gold and she said she has always regretted it.... Well guess what? I have always regretting that my first diamond ring was set in silver.

I did not understand back then that my mother's skin tone fit in the cool, summer category with blue undertones to her skin. My mothers hand looks exquisite sporting her diamond ring setting ... which is of course now in silver.

On my 25th Wedding anniversary I finally got the diamond ring setting I had always dreamed of wearing. It is a stunning oval diamond with an accenting diamond at each side ... and it was set in gold. I continue to buy mostly gold women's rings ..... unless, of course, an antique silver ring calls out to me and I just can't leave the counter without taking it with me.

JUST A FEW TRIVIA FACTS ABOUT GOLD:

• Gold is very rare compared to diamonds and it is considered to be the world's most precious metal.
• Gold is much softer when compared to other metals.
• Gold is about eight times heavier than any other metal on earth
• Currently the country of South Africa is considered as the largest producer of gold in the world.
• You can make a 60-mile wire out of a single ounce of gold.
• Gold nuggets are very hard to find, but the biggest one that has ever been found weighed over two hundred pounds in Australia. The largest gold nugget found in the US was just under 200 pounds in California. Both were smelted.

Women who fit in the Cool category are known by some fashion guru's as Winter's or Summer's. Their skin has cool undertones and when you put a silver ring on their finger - it stands out and makes a statement.

My mother was a beautiful woman who was petite and feminine in every way. She had blonde hair and brown eyes and a gorgeous figure to boot. She always looked put together ... like she was ready to step out on the town at a moment's notice. My mom fit in the summer fashion category and had a cool undertone.

Perhaps it was my mom who inspired me to accessorize and who gave me a love for rings. She had a jewelry case full of women's rings and all of her jewelry was sterling silver, white gold or plain silver. When I was a little girl her rings would entertain me for hours. As I placed them on my fingers I would pretend I was having tea with Aunt Nellie or going out to dinner with Daddy.

Choosing to beautify your hands with women's rings will bring attention your way. People naturally notice womens hands and the rings that grace her fingers.

Aquamarine
by Shay Jones and Leigh Hearn

Your eyes are a blueish-green,
They look like aquamarine,
Diamonds are radiant-white,
They shine like stars in the night.

Precious Gemstones bring exotic colors and beauty to rings. When choosing women's rings with gemstones, many women will shop for their birthstone. But if you aren't a fan of your birthstone - don't let that limit you. There are no rules about wearing precious gemstones.

In keeping with your color profile of warm or cool you may notice how different gemstones seem to look better when placed on gold or silver.

For instance, the cool tones of the blue sapphire or purple amethyst are best showcased in a silver setting. A Baltic Amber gemstone or a tigers eye which are warm tones go naturally with the warmth of yellow gold.

When choosing a diamond ring setting you don't have to weigh which type of gold looks best. A diamond ring looks GREAT on either Yellow Gold or White Gold.  It's a good thing too because diamonds are a girls best friend.  The question is "Does your skin tone look better in Yellow Gold or Silver?"
