Combining Jewelry with Your Outfit – Gold, Silver, or Steel?
How do you choose the right jewelry for your outfit? The three most popular materials are gold (timeless, pairs with everything), silver (modern, more affordable), and stainless steel (strong, colorfast, affordable). Do you have a nickel allergy? Then choose 925 silver, titanium, or gold. View our full jewelry collection.
Gold-colored jewelry
Gold is one of the most popular choices for jewelry. It pairs with almost any color and any type of outfit. Choose yellow gold for a warm, classic look, rose gold for a more subtle and romantic appearance, or white gold for a modern, sleek style. Gold jewelry tarnishes less quickly than silver.
Silver jewelry
Silver jewelry has a modern look and pairs with almost any color and outfit. Silver is more affordable than gold but tends to tarnish over time and requires a bit more maintenance. Choose 925 sterling silver for the best quality – nickel-free and durable.
Steel jewelry (stainless steel)
Stainless steel jewelry is available in silver, gold, rose, black, and rainbow colors. Steel is strong, affordable, and maintains its color well. Ideal for everyday wear. Do you have a nickel allergy? Then choose 925 silver or titanium.
Add extra sparkle with zirconia or crystal
Do you want to add some bling to your outfit? Combine your jewelry with a zirconia or crystal stone. Available in all sorts of colors – from transparent to red, blue, green, and purple.
