Gemstone Guide
Compliment Your Colouring
With so many gems to choose from, start by finding those that enhance your natural colouring. This makes your choice both personal and striking. Your skin tone generally falls into one of two categories, cool or warm, and the simplest way to tell which you are is to look at the colour of the veins on the inside of your wrist.

Cool Skin Tones
If you have cool skin tones—bluish veins, blue or grey eyes, and a tendency to burn easily—you’re in luck! Cool-toned complexions, whether fair with pink undertones or darker with rosy hues, look fantastic in pale pastels and vibrant jewel tones. These shades will make your natural beauty pop.
Show off your cool-toned skin with shimmering white metals—think platinum, silver, and white gold. For gemstones, embrace the full spectrum of blues (aquamarine, sapphire, topaz), luscious amethyst, radiant ruby, stunning emerald, mystical opal, tourmaline, tanzanite, dreamy pink morganite, and classic white or grey pearls. These gems will make you glow.
-
Warm Skin Tones
If you have warm skin tones, look for greenish veins, yellow or peachy undertones, and eyes that are often brown or hazel. Hair with red or golden highlights is common, and earthy colours in clothing will bring out your natural glow.
Highlight your warm-toned skin with the rich glow of yellow or rose gold. Choose gemstones in fiery, golden, or earthy shades—like citrine, garnet, peach morganite, tsavorite garnet, mandarin garnet, green tourmaline, peridot, ruby, smoky quartz, or warm-toned sapphires. You’ll also shine in peach or yellow pearls. These picks will make your unique colouring truly stand out.
-
Neutral Skin Tones
Neutral skin tones blend both warm and cool undertones, making them incredibly versatile. You can pull off any colour scheme, so the world of gemstones is truly open to you—experiment with everything from vibrant rubies to cool sapphires, and discover what makes you shine.
Olive skin is uniquely beautiful, thanks to its blend of yellow and greenish-grey tones. If your olive skin is lighter, you’ll enjoy the flexibility of both neutral and warm palettes. For deeper olive tones, rich, warm colours will highlight your natural glow and set you apart.
Let these examples inspire you—but remember, the best choices come from the heart. Don’t hesitate to experiment and trust your instincts. The most important thing is how your jewellery makes you feel. And if you’re ever in doubt, diamonds are the ultimate neutral and shine beautifully on everyone.
