JEWELRY 101: Should I wear Gold, Silver, or Both?

Here’s the only guide you’ll ever need.

Ever come to the EP website and wonder: Am I a gold person or a silver person? Or maybe you’ve been gifted a piece that just doesn’t feel right on you. The answer? It’s all in your skin tone, your vibe, and your personal style. Let’s break it down so you never have to second-guess your metal choice again.

Step 1: Check Your Veins (Yes, Really)

Your veins hold the secret to whether gold or silver complements you best. Flip your wrist over and take a look:

- If your veins look blue or purple, silver (or white gold) is your best bet. Cool-toned metals enhance your natural glow.

- If your veins lean green, gold is your ride-or-die. Warm metals bring out your natural warmth and make your skin look radiant.

- If you see both? Lucky you! You can rock either metal like a pro—mixing metals is totally your thing and we highly recommend it here at EP. 

Step 2: Match Your Energy

Jewelry isn’t just about what looks good; it’s about what feels like you.

- Gold is for the bold. If you love statement pieces, vintage glam, or exude major main-character energy, gold is your power metal.

- Silver is for the sleek. If your style leans effortless, edgy, or cool-girl minimal, silver is your go-to.

- Mixed metals? Maximum cool factor.  Think layered chains, mismatched rings, and chunky bracelet stacks. The best of both worlds! 

Step 3: Go With Your Gut

At the end of the day, you decide what works for you. Try on different metals, see what makes you feel like your best self, and wear what makes you happy.
