Jewelery and Chromium Color: Gold or Silver?

armocromia nei gioielli

Dear friend,

stop standing in front of the mirror for hours staring at your roommate's petrol green jacket and wondering why it looks so good on her, while you feel more and more like Bridget Jones.

No, it's not life's fault that is unfair to you, but the fact that your wardrobe does not respect the fabulous dictates of color harmony!

Armocro… amoco… armoche?

Yes, there is a little trick that allows you to choose the colors that enhance you the most and it is called armocromia (or color harmony). According to some, armocromia was born at the beginning of the last century, when a man named Johannes Itten, a Swiss artist, began to study color combinations. According to others, however, it was born in the 30s, with the advent of color cinema and Hollywood costume designers who became real image consultants. In any case, whatever its origin, armocromia is used to understand which colors enhance us . In "The Art of Color", in fact, Itten presents a new theory that takes into account the two main characteristics of colors: temperature (hot/cold) and value (light/dark).


Starting from this subdivision and observing nature, he created four chromatic categories corresponding to the four seasons : spring, summer, autumn and winter. Each season has predominant colours , generally in spring and summer bright colours dominate, while in winter and autumn dark colours dominate . This follows the light/dark dichotomy of value. If, instead, we divide the seasons following the temperature, we discover that warm colours are typical of spring and autumn and cold colours of summer and winter . Clear, isn't it?

Now that you've discovered the characteristics of the seasons, you'll also want to know what they're for, rightly so (and above all, what they have to do with the choice of clothes). So: try tying your hair and covering it; now just look at your skin and try matching different clothes of different colors to your face. What do you notice? Exactly, some make you more radiant, others accentuate skin imperfections, others still highlight your eyes, others, instead, dark circles.


So, start discarding the shades that don't enhance you and keep aside only those that, instead, you feel are more suitable for you. The combination of temperature and value of the remaining colors will give you your profile!


Now that you know if you are summer, winter, spring or autumn, you can start shopping consciously (I mean by choosing colors consciously, not by moderating your budget, which we both know is impossible)!


Gold or Silver? That is the Question…

Of course, color harmony doesn't just help us choose clothing items, but also all accessories, including jewelry! So, let's see together which combinations can best highlight your pretty face!

  • If you are a Winter Woman . The Winter Woman has dark hair , light eyes and a strong contrast between skin, eyes and hair. In short, do you know Megan Fox? In this case, stones such as rubies and jade are highly recommended and both gold (white or yellow) and silver are suitable .

  • If you are a Spring Woman. Light hair with golden or reddish highlights, warm eyes and a slight contrast between skin, eyes and hair: this is how you recognize a Spring Woman! Purple, blue, aquamarine... the advice is to play with contrasts. Choose yellow gold : it gives brightness to your complexion and enhances your hair. Who to take inspiration from? Undoubtedly Kate Middleton.

  • If you are a Summer Woman. Is your hair blonde or brown , tending towards ash? Are your eyes light and the contrast is soft? Then you are a summer woman! Rubies, lapis lazuli and coral are your stones, but be careful: yellow gold is banned! Only white gold and silver , to fully enhance your colors. Jennifer Aniston will be your guiding light!

  • If you are an Autumn Woman. Red, blonde or golden brown hair, warm brown or olive green eyes : these are the colors of the autumn woman. Led by Emily Ratajkowski, autumn women must have stones such as amber and topaz in their jewelry box and are at their best if they wear jewelry in yellow or rose gold .


To recap: using some clothes, try to match different shades of colors to your face and try to understand which one enhances you the most. Once you have identified them, look at whether they are warm or cold, light or dark. Based on the combination you get, you will know which season you belong to and which are your new “never without”! I remind you that among my jewels you will surely find the right one for you (obviously, they are all beautiful!) and that, if you tag me on your Instagram stories, I can share them again and leave you a little comment ... so I can see if you followed my advice!
