Because the perfect gem should highlight your natural beauty.
Colored gemstones are having a major moment — and we love it. Whether you're drawn to the deep mystery of sapphires or the vivid pop of rubies, there's a gemstone out there that’s made for you.
But did you know that your skin tone can help guide you to the perfect match? Choosing a gemstone that complements your natural complexion can make all the difference in how vibrant, radiant, and you the piece feels.
Here’s a simple guide to help you find the right gem for your unique glow.
Step 1: Know Your Skin Tone
There are two main things to consider:
Undertone: Are you cool, warm, or neutral?
Cool tones usually have pink, red, or bluish undertones.
Warm tones have yellow, golden, or peachy undertones.
Neutral tones are a balanced mix of both.
Quick test:
Look at the veins on your wrist:
Bluish? You’re likely cool-toned.
Greenish? You’re probably warm-toned.
Hard to tell? You might be neutral.
Best Gemstone Colors for Each Skin Tone
Cool Skin Tones (Pink / Blue Undertones)
You’ll shine in colors that mirror the coolness of your undertones. Think icy, oceanic, or royal hues.
Recommended gems:
Sapphire (Blue or Pink)
Aquamarine
Amethyst (Purple)
Lab-grown Alexandrite
White Diamond / White Sapphire
These shades bring out the brightness in fair to light complexions and add a regal contrast to deeper cool-toned skin.
Warm Skin Tones (Yellow / Golden Undertones)
Warm skin pairs beautifully with rich, earthy, or sun-kissed gemstone colors.
Recommended gems:
Citrine (Golden Yellow)
Champagne Diamond / Brownish Moissanite
Garnet
These shades enhance the warmth in your skin, making your entire look glow naturally.
Neutral Skin Tones
Lucky you — most gemstone colors will work beautifully! The trick is to balance between warmth and coolness depending on your outfit, mood, or occasion.
Recommended gems:
Peach Sapphire
Light Green Emerald
Lavender Spinel or Amethyst
Classic Blue or Pink Sapphire
Morganite (Soft Pink)
Neutral skin tones can wear bold, pastel, or earthy shades with equal grace. It’s your playground!
Bonus Tip: Think About Metal Color Too!
Cool skin tones look great in white gold, platinum, or silver.
Warm skin tones shine in yellow or rose gold.
Neutral tones can wear all metals — lucky again!
Combining the right gem + metal pairing will elevate the entire piece.
Final Thoughts
The perfect gemstone doesn’t just match your outfit — it matches you. When a piece complements your skin tone, it creates harmony and enhances your natural radiance.
So whether you're gifting or treating yourself, keep these color matches in mind and find the gemstone that truly feels like you.
