White gold, yellow gold, silver… Which metal should I choose for my bracelet?

Choose the color of my bracelet

To select the metal most in line with your desires, the first point to take into account concerns the color of the jewel. All women show preferences between “yellow” and “white” jewelry, depending on their tastes, skin tone, etc. The ideal is not to rush when buying and to ask the right questions:will this bracelet fit me and enhance me? For costume jewellery, it is best to follow your instincts since you are not taking any risks by spending only a few euros on a bracelet. On the other hand, if it is a jewelry bracelet for a special occasion (birth of a child, birthday, wedding anniversary), find out precisely about the ideal color of jewelry for your complexion. There are a few rules on this. If you have white skin and blond hair, give preference to yellow gold jewelry. Healthy glow effect guaranteed! Dark-haired women with porcelain complexions will turn to silver or white gold jewelry. For mixed skin, it is recommended to choose a yellow gold bracelet. For women with black skin, cool colors are preferred, so silver, white gold or platinum. Do not hesitate to adorn yourself with colorful bracelets, sublime on dark skin.

White or yellow gold for a precious bracelet

For a bracelet dear to your heart, it is preferable to favor gold metal, which is more precious and “ages” better over time. The advantage of gold is that you can choose your favorite color, such as yellow, white, gray and pink. There are many models of bracelets on the market. To help you in your choice, start by knowing if you want to wear this bracelet every day or just for special occasions. A white gold bracelet set with diamonds is not the most recommended to be sported every day. In any case, if you opt for gold, demand to receive a certificate of authenticity for your jewel from the seller. Finally, platinum is an excellent solution if you are looking for even more quality. It is ideal for a bracelet to be passed down from generation to generation.

Money for a fancy bracelet

Silver jewelry is very popular with women because it has the advantage of being cheaper than gold jewelry, while being of high quality. The price range of silver jewelry is quite wide as it depends on the alloys. For an important bracelet, it is best to opt for an alloy composed of 96% silver and 4% copper. It is important to distinguish between solid silver jewelry (jewelry made of real silver) and silver-plated jewelry. For solid silver bracelets, you can also request a certificate of authenticity. It should also be known that silver is the whitest metal, but the least resistant over time. This metal being softer than gold, it will indeed take the marks of blows and scratches more easily. It is therefore essential to clean it regularly.
