It doesn't have to be specific to these materials, but more so the colour of the jewellery.
Incredibly bored and browsing clothes, bags and jewellery of which I can never afford, and I can't decide what I prefer for myself!

Gold, it suits me so much better especially if I'm tanned, but it has to be quite a pale or matte gold. Rose gold looks awful on me.

My wedding ring and engagement ring are gold, but at the time it was seen as quite old fashioned and unusual. Personally I quite liked being different to everyone else (also didn't have a solitaire), and yellow gold is also the metal of choice for hipsters and b boys so it's actually pretty cool ;)

Gold, I'm mixed race and tanned so suits me better than silver

riotlady · 25/11/2020 22:07

Largely prefer gold but I have a necklace I wear nearly all of the time that’s silver- it has my DDs finger print in it

PigletJohn · 25/11/2020 22:12

yellow gold, but not usually more than one thing (or a pair)

sbhydrogen · 25/11/2020 22:28

GOLD!

Always believe in your soul...

Silver! I prefer the way it looks in general but it also suits me way more than gold does! I’m very pale with dark hair and eyes and gold makes me look sallow- but I think gold looks absolutely stunning on olive/dark skin!

JaceLancs · 25/11/2020 22:54

I’m a brunette with medium to slightly olive skin tone
I suit yellow gold - prefer old gold if possible

phoenixrosehere · 25/11/2020 22:55

I can wear both, but choose rose gold. It looks better against my neutral brown skin tone more than either silver or yellow gold.

JaceLancs · 25/11/2020 22:55

Love an old or even antique piece

Silver, as it looks better on me. But overall I like rose gold best as it doesn’t tarnish like my silver always does.

TurquoiseDress · 25/11/2020 23:08

I much prefer silver...my rings are white gold...I'd love platinum but way too much £££

percheron67 · 25/11/2020 23:10

I like both and have both but had my "colours" done and discovered that silver suits me much better..

WeatherwaxOn · 25/11/2020 23:14

Silver. The only reason my wedding ring is gold is that at the time we couldn't afford platinum or white gold. Every so often I think about getting it (and my engagement ring) plated, but haven't got around to it.

GOLD!

I like silver best but yellow gold suits my colouring. All my rings are yellow gold but when I buy junk jewellery I am always attracted to silver.

mayandjuniper · 26/11/2020 00:08

Gold, always. Own nothing silver, just don't like it at all.

Newmumatlast · 26/11/2020 00:10

@keeprocking

Silver or preferably platinum.
Same
CorianderQueen · 26/11/2020 00:37

Gold - I'm very pale so people always buy me silver, but yellow gold brightens my complexion so much more whereas silver lies flat.

CorianderQueen · 26/11/2020 00:40

The warm tone cool tone thing I find doesn't work. I could practically be a snowman I'm that cold but it's yellow gold all the way

CaslRock · 13/07/2022 10:56

I don't really like to wear precious metals, but if I was offered a gold or silver chain, I would choose a silver one. I have very pale skin and because of this, gold does not look very good on me

Silver - gold doesn’t suit me

KittyEmK · 13/07/2022 11:02

I suit silver

getupstandupsitdown · 13/07/2022 11:05

18ct yellow gold. Looks so much better on my skin tone

I have noticed that a yellow gold necklace with a round disc and some sort of design on it - is extremely fashionable atm!

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 13/07/2022 11:08

jennie0412 · 25/11/2020 21:09

Just looked it up, apparently cool tones suit white gold and silver better, warm tones suit gold!
Now this begs the question...
What on earth am I?!

Is your skin fair/ red? You're cool if you are.
