Gold or silver?

I still don't know if gold or silver jewellery looks better on me.
I have asked many people over the years but never really get a straight answer
Slightly better with identifying colours that look good to wear.
I am 51, of Irish descent, don't tan, just go bright red when hot and burn in the sun.blue eyes, 'mousy' brown hair but greying now.
Any advice or definitive answer to be found?
Have watched multiple YouTube videos but am still confused. Thanks in advance

I’m similar colouring though I guess blonder as I have highlights. I had my colours done and they said gold and silver were equally wearable for me. I wear both, I usually just see what looks nicest with what I’m wearing.

That is interesting thank you.
I do have a mixture of the 2

I honestly think that most people look fine in either. I tend to match it to my outfit.

I wear both. Your colouring sounds cool which some will tell you means you should wear silver but I honestly think it's about what you like best.

Thanks people! You make sense

Maybe you're a neutral tone and wear both well.

I think I have similar colouring. I wear silver jewellery because I prefer it but I think gold looks similar on me.

Have you ever in your life thought ‘that woman’s wearing gold (or silver) jewellery and it doesn’t suit her?’ No, nor me.

I have no idea which ostensibly suits me; I just wear what I like.
