A quiet mirror of mood, memory, and meaning.
Whether you wear gold, silver, rose gold, or resin, each choice rests directly on your skin and says something before you do.
This guide walks through how to choose jewelry based on:
- Skin undertones
- Personal style
- Emotional value
And why sometimes, it’s okay to break all the rules.
Match Jewelry to Your Skin Tone
Your skin is the canvas.
The right metal adds light, contrast, or warmth without overpowering.
Dermatology uses the Fitzpatrick Skin Type Scale, from I to VI (very fair to very deep brown). But real-world styling Depends less on categories, more on reaction.
Skin tone matching tips:
• Warm undertones: Yellow gold, rose gold, copper
• Cool undertones: Silver, white gold, rhodium, pearls
• Neutral undertones: Try both sides contrast often flatters
Contrast helps:
• Deeper skin with bright metals like silver or pearl
• Lighter skin with deeper tones like antique gold
💡 If you can tell the difference between coral and brick red lipstick, you already have the eye for tone.

Choose Jewelry That Matches Your Style
Style isn’t static it shifts with mood, season, and story.
Here’s how to think about it:
• Minimalist: matte metals, small studs, clean lines
• Romantic: pearls, floral curves, soft edges
• Bold: sculptural rings, volume, chains layered with intent
Jewelry should finish the sentence your outfit starts.
Some days you whisper.
Some days you shout.

Let Memory Guide the Piece
Not every choice is visual.
Some jewelry carries:
• A memory
• A place
• A moment
“That ring reminds me of when...”
“This necklace... I bought it just before...”
At Luna Dura, we design both for contrast and for stillness.
•Our Double Cherry Earrings A Thought in Bloom is playful and vivid perfect for mood and color.
• Other designs favor stillness, texture, and calm.
When a piece speaks to you, it doesn’t need to explain itself.

Choose by Material, Not Just Metal
Jewelry isn't only about karats.
We design with:
• 925 silver, gold plating, and rhodium
• But also wood, resin, shell, fabric, and hand-cast textures
Materials that:
• Feel good on skin
• Catch light in quiet ways
• Age well, without pretending to be something they’re not
Some are humble.
All are considered.

Try, Trust, Layer
Rules are useful until they aren’t.
• Mix metals.
• Stack without symmetry.
• Wear five rings, or none.
Layering is a quiet rebellion.
A soft way to show you're not following trends you’re building a rhythm.
If something catches your eye, it already belongs.
