‘Naturally, silver-toned metals tend to suit cooler skin tones, while yellow-based metals work well on warmer skin tones,’ explains Lynda Spence, Fashion Stylist at Oliver Bonas.

To identify your undertones, take a look at the veins on the inside of your forearm. If they appear blue or purple, you likely have cool undertones. Green-looking veins usually indicate warm undertones, while a mix of both suggests a neutral undertone.

That said, undertone rules are only a helpful starting point. Personal preference matters most – if a piece of jewellery feels right and makes you feel confident, wear it.

Many people with sensitive skin find that sterling silver jewellery works well for them. As this precious metal is often better tolerated than some fashion jewellery materials.

However, skin sensitivity varies from person to person, so reactions can differ depending on individual allergies and sensitivities.
