Now that you’ve established the skin tone you have, we can go into delineating what gemstones are flattering to you. A quick way to remember which gemstone colours would best suit you is to take a look at the colour wheel.
Warm tones are rich reflections of nature, so shades include orange, yellow, gold, yellow-greens and orange-reds. Those with warm skin tones should also look great with “warmer” versions of cool colours, like olive and violet-red.
Cool tone colours are a reflection of the ocean and winter, which includes deep purple, bright blue, bluish-pinks/purples/reds and emerald. Silver and grey are also flattering for those with cool tones. People with neutral skin tones would suit them all, so, you don’t have to think twice about getting anything. Some say muted version of a colour suits a neutral toned person best, for instance dusty pink, jade green, cornsilk yellow, or lagoon blue.
When choosing your gemstone, remember: Because gemstones are naturally occurring minerals, their hues vary from stone to stone — you could have two red rubies in which one could have an undertone of blue (a cool tone) while the other leans towards orange (a warm tone). Or think of sapphire, and you’d immediately associate it with a deep blue colour. But according to The Diamond Store, sapphires are also available in pink, green, yellow, orange, purple, colourless and black. As such, when you’re choosing the gemstone, really pay attention to the individual rock’s hue.
