Cool or warm tones in metal

[RRfromR]

All these are antiques, so I'm staying in the topic I'm cool toned and light/medium, and I'm starting to think that yellow gold, especially when there's a lot of it, looks off on my skin tone. Please see below next to platinum and white gold. The plain band is my first Jabel and it's so comfy - the sides are round and smooth. Excuse the background, my dog thinks that hand up always means attention and cuddles for her.

Personally, I believe white metals suit you better based on the two photos posted.

How about throwing another colour to the mix - Rose Gold?

Looking at the pics, I would say white metals probably do suit your skin tone a little better - but that doesn't mean yg looks bad! You should still wear and enjoy your yg rings, they are really pretty.

@dk168 , ohhh, new lemming created lol. I only have one rose and it's 9ct - hallmarked 1818. I don't see a lot of rose around

I forgot we are talking about antique piece, sorry!

I can't remember seeing many RG pieces at Lang Antiques.

Based on that one RG piece, I would say white metals suit you better IMHO.

I think both colors look great on you, and you should wear what goes best with your clothing and mood.

I too am cool toned and have been told that yellow gold doesn't look as good as rose or white. But you know- I adore the color yellow and decided to just wear what I want that day!
I say if you like a certain piece then wear it. Rings are especially nice as they aren't right next to our faces!

Both look pretty. Maybe a slight lean toward a cooler metal but I would not use that to inform a future purchase one tiny bit.
