Armocromia and jewelry: choose the right metal!
Lately we have heard a lot about Armocromia. What is it? We will see very soon! Today, in fact, we are talking about Armocromia and jewelry: choosing the right metal to enhance your complexion is essential to look your best.
But let's start from the beginning...
Armocromia and jewelry: choose the right metal!
What is Armocromia?
Armocromia, or color analysis, is a science that combines fashion with self-confidence, leading us to discover which colors enhance us the most. Armocromia, the term, actually means "harmony between colors". Based on a careful study of our skin undertone and the nuances that characterize us the most, it is possible to discover your own palette, a review of the colors that suit us best. In jargon, this series of nuances is called season, a macrogroup with common aesthetic characteristics: Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn, each with its own peculiarities.
And, surprise surprise, we're not just talking about clothes and makeup, but also and above all about accessories! Not everyone looks good in silver, for example...
How to determine your undertone?
The first step to take in analyzing your colors is to discover your skin undertone. In fact, it can be warm or cold. Often this first step of Armocromia is done with metals, in the form of drapes to be placed next to the face, to see which colors illuminate us and which do not. And so we discover that people with warm undertones look great in gold, while those with cold undertones are better off focusing on metals such as silver, white gold and platinum.
Of course, the shades are not limited to the 4 seasons (too few to represent us all, in our diversity!), but there are intermediate characteristics given by their contrast and the intensity of their colors. In short: some metals also look good with opposite undertones.
The Four Seasons
Winter
Cold undertones like ice, bright colors contrasting with porcelain skin... the metal for winter people is glacial. Platinum, silver and white gold give brightness and depth to the face and body, allowing you to really shine.
Among the gems, you can opt for an intense purple amethyst, but also for sapphires and rubies. Some black details are also great, a bit like these Damiani Damianissima earrings in silver, diamonds and onyx allow us.
Summer
Surprisingly, summer also has a cold undertone! Soft, pastel, slightly dusty and antique colors. The perfect match, again, with silver jewelry, but if you have soft, warm colors, you can also wear gold. Green light then to combinations of white gold and yellow gold, but also rose gold, if you belong to this subgroup. For all the others, pearls are also excellent, as well as precious stones such as opal and rose quartz!
An example? The beautiful ''Anaconda'' necklace by Salvini in white gold, rose gold and diamonds.
Spring
Spring, warm and bright colors! The jewelry box of Spring people is undoubtedly made of gold! Rose gold is also great, in its warmest shades. And as for precious stones, we finally find bright colors such as coral, turquoise, orange-toned gems and bright green.
A bit like many of Marco Bicego 's jewels, especially the Jaipur collection: a beautiful Spring!
Fall
Last but not least, the Autumn palette is warm and sweet. With spicy colors and similar to the leaves of the trees in this October, it makes yellow gold its metal. Also great are metals tending towards the color of bronze and rose gold. In any case: warm!
Teal, amber, topaz, citrine quartz... deep and vivid colors even in gems, for Autumn people.
For example, these earrings by Marco Bicego Africa, in yellow gold and petrol-colored London topazes, seem perfect to me.
