Gold tone or silver tone: how to choose

3 min read · Petal Charms

Gold tone and silver tone are the two colors you will see on the birth flower necklace. Neither is right or wrong, so choose the one you like.

Here are three quick ways to decide.

Look at what you wear

Open your jewelry box. If most of your pieces are gold, choose gold tone. If most are silver, choose silver tone.

If you have both, pick the one you reach for most. You can see both on the Birth Flower Name Necklace.

Think about your clothes

Warm colors like cream, rust and olive often look lovely with gold tone. Cool colors like navy, gray and white often look lovely with silver tone.

These are tips, not rules. Wear what makes you smile.

Try one piece first

The birth flower name necklace is $17 in the silver tone, a low-risk way to try one. The heart initial necklace comes in a warm yellow tone.

Our layering guide also covers mixing tones.

Mixing tones

You do not have to stick to one tone. Many people wear a gold tone necklace with silver tone pieces and enjoy the mix. If you want to try it, keep one piece larger so the look feels planned. Start with the tone you reach for most, and add the other later. All sales are final, so check the tone on the page before you order.
