Color magic

In addition to the fact that earrings, like any other jewelry and accessory, should match the color scheme to your chosen one, do not neglect such subtleties as the color of the skin and eyes, especially when it comes to stones and expensive metals.

Important! Metals of “warm” golden and bronze shades will be in perfect harmony with tanned and dark skin. While owners of lighter skin are best suited for white metals: cupronickel, silver, platinum.

To create the perfect look, in addition to the color of the metal, it is important to pay attention to the color of the stones. In fact, you have two options: play in contrast or choose earrings to match your eye color. But in both cases, make sure that the color of the stones in the jewelry does not “suppress” the color of the eyes. That is, if a blonde girl with green or light gray eyes picks up earrings of green or bright turquoise color, then due to the bright and rich color of the stones her eyes may fade. Therefore:

• Blue-eyed beauties will suit all shades of blue, violet, turquoise and blue, as well as golden and orange.
• Gray and green eyes will decorate shades of pomegranate, malachite, agate and turquoise.
• Owners of brown eyes are perfect for any bright colors, I also amber, crystal and pearls.
