Why Skin Undertone Matters When Buying Jewellery
Your undertone is the subtle colour beneath your skin’s surface. Unlike surface skin tone (light, medium or dark), undertones stay consistent year-round. Choosing jewellery based on undertone helps:
-
Enhance your complexion
-
Make gemstones appear more vibrant
-
Ensure your jewellery looks flattering in natural light
-
Reduce the risk of buying pieces you won’t wear
