Gem and Jewellery for Neutral Skin Ton

Identification of neutral skin tone is a very recent phenomenon. Earlier it was understood that there were two broad divisions of skin tone into warm and cool categories. As research and analysis unearthed the new segment of neutral skin tone, it has also led to the search for appropriate gem & jewellery that could enhance glamour of those who have such neutral skin tone. This blog post is just about that.

By now you are well aware that skin colour is the external overtone and skin tone is the internal tone lying underneath. For this reason skin tone is alternatively referred to as “under tone”. You can do a small test to check whether you have got neutral skin tone. Look at the vein in your wrist, if it is neither exactly green nor blue then you have neutral skin tone. Consequently, neutral skin tone is further tweaked into leaning either towards warm segment or cool segment. Hence, it is surmised that, neutral skin tone is best accentuated with lighter tint of both warm and cool colours. Rose colour is the key test for you to confirm whether you have neutral skin tone or not. Just hold a piece of rose gold jewellery close to the wrist. If the wrist glows unexceptionally bright then you definitely have neutral skin tone.

Metals for jewellery: Apart from rose gold, presumably any alloy of gold with silver is a better choice for you. Gold finished, gold plated, rolled gold and gold filled silver jewellery is next in importance. Jewellery made from space age metals such as Niobium, Tantalum and Zirconium are recommended for that bright, polished and shiny look for you.

Gems: Colourless gemstone and diamonds are friends for you forever. Cosmic gems of blue-green combination such as Turquoise give fascinating glow to your neutral skin tone often enhancing your beauty and appearance. Opal, Moonstone, Topaz and Zircon are next in line. Ametrine, Alexandrite, Azurite and Agate are also flagged for your attention in the multi-coloured segment of gems & crystals. An interesting gemstone that cannot be ignored is brilliantly hued Spectoralite.

When you combine the above gems & metals you are ready to generate groundswell of cosmics, a kind of energy keeping you rejuvenated day and night. Undoubtedly for a neutral skin tone person this cosmics have two roles: one is to act as supply source of energy, the other, as you rightly guessed is to bring out the best in you in terms of smoother skin and remarkable and enticing aura. Of course, it begs the question as to how to choose the right gems & metals combination for you.

Gem and Jewellery for Cool Skin Tone

Skin tones are broadly divided into three types: warm tone, cold tone and neutral tone. Matching the right gem & jewellery with your each skin tone is an art itself. Let me give you a broad brush stroke about cool skin tone and how to match it by selecting right gems & metals.

You know skin colour is the external overtone and skin tone refers to the under laying colour. Generally skin tone is stated as “under tone”. You can do a small test to check whether you have cool skin tone. Look at the vein in your wrist, if it is blue then you have cool skin tone. The theory behind is simple. Cold spectrum begins from green colour and extends to blue and beyond. In order to confirm finding you just hold a silver jewellery piece close to the wrist. If the wrist glows in brightness then the matter is sealed: you have cool skin tone.

Metals for jewellery: Silver works best for cool skin tone followed by White gold, Stainless steel and most of the white or silvery metals such as Titanium, Niobium, Tantalum and Zirconium. Pride of place, however, goes to the platinum group of metals such as Platinum and Palladium.

Gems: White and bright gems are most suited for cool skin tone. Diamonds top the rating while gemstones including Pearls, White sapphire, Topaz, Zircon, Beryl (Goshenite) and Quartz are key cosmic gems that accentuate cool skin tone excellently well. Blue Sapphire, Topaz, Agate, Opal and Lapis Lazuli and purple colour Amethyst and Tanzanite are some of the other gems & crystals known to enhance cool skin tone. At the middle point it is the pink colour that acts as most promising one. By the way, the bench mark colour for cool skin tone is also pink. Ostensibly, Pink sapphire is the one that leads the selection from this segment that includes other fancy stones such as Garnet and Tourmaline.

As you are aware gems & metals when combined together generate whale of a lot of cosmics. For a cool skin tone person this cosmics form a key energy supply source. Proper selection of gem & jewellery is vital in receiving the energy cosmics from gems & metals to be transferred into your skin.

Gem and Jewellery for Warm Skin Tone

Matching the right gem & jewellery with your skin tone is indeed vital. Skin tones are broadly divided into three types: Warm tone, cold tone and neutral tone. In this blog post let me give you few ideas about warm skin tone.

First thing you should note is that skin tone is under laying colour of your skin often referred to as “under tone”. You can do a small test to check whether you have warm tone. Look at the vein in your wrist, if it is green then you have warm skin tone. The theory behind is simple. Warm spectrum consists of red, orange and yellow colours and green terminates the warm spectrum. To confirm the finding you just hold a gold jewellery piece close to the wrist. If the wrist glows in brightness there it is you have warm skin tone.

Metals for jewellery: Yellow gold is primary metal for you; jewellery from red gold, copper, pewter or brass is also apt.

Gems: Red, orange and yellow colour gemstones enhance your skin glow, beauty and appearance. Ruby, garnet, coral, chalcedony, amber and hessonite are good stones for you. Yellow gemstones such as citrine, yellow sapphire are well adapted to warm undertone. Moreover, cosmic gems that add more colour and credence to your skin tone could be selected from amongst golden topaz, golden pearl, champagne coloured stone and fire opals.

Gems & metals generate streams of sensation and particular tingling. Proper selection of gem & jewellery is vital in receiving the energy cosmics of these to be transferred into your warm skin tone.

Jewellery Matching: Skin Colour or Skin Tone

Before buying gem & jewellery, you have to decide whether you are going to match your exterior skin colour or interior skin tone. Majority of ladies look at their skin colour as a criterion to buy expensive items that eventually fail to bring out the best in them in terms of beauty and appearance. A good piece of advice is to look into both as dovetailed in this blog post.

Skin Colour: It is also known as overtone, surface tone, actual colour or exterior colour and denotes to the overall appearance of skin. The skin colour is determined by several substances most important amongst these is Melanin. Varying from dark to white human pigmentation gives a range of colours including dark, light, medium, tan, black, brown, white and yellow skin colours. There are several factors influencing the evolution of colour of skin. Geography, climate, environment and nature are chief amongst these factors. Skin colour undergoes changes over a period of life in a single generation, if the factors mentioned above are altered.

Skin Tone: It is also known as undertone, under-laying colour, or interior colour and denotes to the glow of skin. This skin tone personalizes the skin colour and projects an individual look. There are three types of undertone: warm undertone flashing yellow or golden colour and cool undertone signalling pink and blue colours. Neutral undertone has mixture of warm and cool colours. Undertone in generally subject to genetics and ethnicity and rarely changes. Perhaps, it might undergo slight change after few generations.

Selecting jewellery: While skin colour is useful in giving you general directions in buying gem & jewellery it is the skin tone that can accentuate your beauty and elegance in a big way. For example, if you have warm undertone, then buy gems & metals that are of warm colours. Gold is the primary warm metal. When the skin tone is matched properly it brings out best of not only the skin tone but the skin colour as well. You generate bright and polished look. More than that your cosmics start working positively and you appear so alluring to become overnight a darling.

Understanding Colour Dynamics of Gemstones

Cosmic gems come in a variety of colours. In order to understand the dynamics of colour in gemstones you must distinguish several terms used in the gem & jewellery market place. Here is a primer on the different terms used in describing colour of cosmic gems.

1. Colour: Refers generally to the wavelength comparison of the sunlight. There are three primary colours: red, yellow and blue. Secondary colours are orange, green and purple. Tertiary colours are: yellow-orange, red-orange, red-purple, blue-purple, blue-green, yellow-green.

2. Hue: A quality of colour that modifies the basic colour visible to the naked eye by another. Pea-cock hue is made of dominant green colour with associated blue colour

3. Tone: A quality of colour with reference to the degree of absorption of light. It can range from light to dark. The gradations of tone are: very dark, dark, medium, light and very light

4. Shade: A gradation or variety of colour in reference to the degree of darkness

5. Tint: A gradation or variety of colour in reference to the degree of lightness

6. Intensity: The degree of purity of colour. Gem & jewellery industry uses alternate terms such as strength, saturation, purity and Chroma in place of intensity. The gradations of intensity are: strong, medium, fair and weak. A gemstone that has strong intensity reflects a pure colour without any brown/grey hues.

Red, Rose and Pink Gold Jewellery

In gem & jewellery market, red rose and pink gold articles are paraded as unique products in terms of their tone of colour ranging from lightness to darkness. But critics dismiss this as a marketing ploy and declare all these jewellery articles mean one and the same thing. Yet on investigation we find that there are in fact differences between red, rose and pink gold jewellery as shown in this blog post.

Red Gold Jewellery: You are aware red is one of the three primary colours, others being yellow and blue. To fabricate red gold piece of 18 K you have to use gold 75% and copper 25% with zinc as trace element. Reflecting hard and deep overtone, red gold has fabulous cosmics in projecting high degree of masculine quality. Red gold grants you physical strength, mental power, dedication, focus and heightened resonance.

Rose Gold Jewellery: Rose colour perks half way between red and magenta as per the colour wheel. Rose gold 18 K jewellery is made by using an alloy of 75% gold 22.25% copper and 2.75% silver with trace element. Rose gold snugs well between white and yellow gold articles. For example, rings, bangles and bracelets made in tricolour are considered more fashionable in elitist circles. In contrast to red gold, rose gold minimizes the warmth of red colour and provides a softer overtone that in turn gives the wearer a sense of elation, calmness, togetherness not to forget a tinge of fad or to use the mild word a kind of overwhelming fashion.

Pink Gold Jewellery: Combining two vital qualities of both red and rose gold, pink gold article projects a harder look yet radiating softer shine. What is more, it gives an antique look as the jewellery starts aging, a process whose pace is quickened due to its copper content. Mostly, due to copper’s inherent tarnishing effect pink gold gives a fabulous antique appeal making the jewellery piece more pricier. An 18 K pink gold article is fabricated using gold 75%, Copper 20 % and Silver 5%. The chief plus point of pink gold is that it can easily bridge two colour combination such as yellow and white or yellow and red. Most importantly, pink gold can be worn as unisex jewellery. Equally fashionable as in the case of rose gold, pink gold goes one step forward by granting you high positive cosmics. It raises your level of consciousness and for an active and busy person it is a must wear item.

Gems & metals are storehouses of vibration, more so in the case of red, rose and pink gold jewellery. Selecting the right tone of colour requires understanding your needs and personality.

Benefits of Titanium jewellery

Significant benefits arise when you don one or more Titanium jewellery pieces. Health, cosmics, user-friendliness are key advantages. On the down side you have few drawbacks. But, overall titanium jewellery proves to be more valuable as this blog post explains.

Advantages

Health is the key plus of Titanium. As hypoallergenic metal Titanium is a store of magnetic energy fields, stimulating flow of oxygen into blood stream thereby flushing out toxicity and up building the body’s energy in healing wounds and fractures. Moreover, stimulation of nerves connected to the wound is carried out by corralling iron into blood cells. As a result oxygenated blood flow assists in quick healing of wounds and injuries that recur repeatedly; those who are engaged in sports and physical work stand to receive much of this bonanza.

Cosmics is the next plus point where Titanium acts in channelling vital energy and stamina into your body and mind. Mere touch of Titanium gives you feeling of strength and elation. Wearing Titanium jewellery in different parts of body enhances balancing yourself, your central nervous system and your zing.

Next in line is the user-friendliness of Titanium jewellery. Strong and resistant to scratch, tarnish and stress, this metal is low at maintenance cost. You can just clean with soapy water and dry it with a soft cloth. As a robust metal, Titanium can last for generations. Technically, Titanium can be blackened with a proprietary process developed by Spectore Corporation under the patent name “ Black-Ti” which is trademarked as such. Anodizing in fabulous colours is yet another feature available for gem & jewellery industry. Exotic hues of blue, yellow, violet , green , pink and others are noticed in the market place. Types of wear includes rings & bands, earrings, bangles & bracelets, chains & pendants and necklaces.

Downside

Titanium jewellery is quite expensive due to specialized process applied in fabricating. Premium prices are charged for anodized pieces. Black Titanium rings are certainly out of reach for many of you because of high price quotes. As Titanium cannot be soldered or annealed, exquisite designs are not possible while making pendants and necklaces. Even in the case of rings & bands it must be mentioned that once made these cannot be re-sized or re-soldered. A heavy negative is that in emergency these rings cannot be cut-off.

Against the backdrop of these drawbacks one should not lose heart in wearing Titanium jewellery. The pluses in health, cosmics and not to forget technical feasibility overweigh all these snags. Surely, gems & metals have vibrations, resonation, sensation and electromagnetic pulse. Predictably, when the turn comes to Titanium jewellery the sense of wellbeing is simply doubled.

Stay tuned!

Appeal of Rose Gold Jewellery

Soft and delicate hue of rose gold jewellery is a timeless article in the jewellery box of a fashionable lady. Although the name is stuck as rose gold, it is in fact more copper mixed with gold than in normal circumstances. Mixture of copper quantum is much higher in the lower Karat ranges. Notwithstanding higher copper composition rose gold pieces command premium prices.

Strangely, rose gold jewellery was introduced in Russia in the turn of Nineteenth Century where it became popular as wedding ring and allied jewellery. Even today Russian girls prefer wedding rings made of tri-colour strips welded together in the form of white, rose and yellow gold. The credit for introducing rose gold in USA goes to Cartier Jewellers who in 1920s came up with “Trinity band” the ubiquitous tri colour ring where rose gold bridges white and yellow gold bands. Since then, the gold-copper mix has become a successful story, with occasional hiccups when it goes out of fashion and then re-entering with more gusto in jewellery market. Recent debut of Tri-gold bangles in Asian market is an apt example. Made of yellow, white and rose gold bangles, tri-gold bangles can be worn individually or clipped together.

A key factor for the popularity of rose gold amongst ladies and jewellers is the feminine touch it beams out. In addition to femininity most girls and ladies are attracted to this distinctive colour because it fits warm, neutral and cool skin tones. In fact rose colour is the only pigment that accentuates your skin undertone in style and felicity. Jewellers, on the other hand like the feminine quality and more than that, the low-price of copper-gold alloy that goes in making rose gold pieces.

For example, in turning out 9K rose gold jewellery the gold part is 37.5% while copper is about 53.5% remaining parts consisting of silver and trace of Zinc. The gold percentage rises in the higher Karat jewellery. In 14 K rose gold, the gold content is about 58.5% copper 35.5 % and the remaining as silver and trace of alloy.

Setting diamonds and coloured stones enhances the sleek appearance of rose gold jewellery. Rose-cut diamond in rose gold ring is legendary. Other gemstones that go as solitaire or multiple gems include a whole range of rose coloured stones such as Morganite, Rose Pearl, Pink Sapphire, Rhodonite (Pink Garnet) Robeline (Pink Tourmaline) Spinel, Kunzite and Diamond. Of late, Rose Quart and Ruby are also embellished in rose gold pieces. Rings are the most popular type of jewellery, followed by bangle, bracelet, necklace, pendant and pair of earrings. Rose coloured gem & jewellery, enables you to stand out as fashion icon.

Gems & metals are noted for their vibrancy. Undoubtedly Rose gold jewellery pieces generate positive cosmics to those who wear it daily. Rose colour being the mid-point between red and magenta in colour wheel merits special mention. This colour generates vibrant resonance to keep you in happy and peaceful mood. Besides, rose colour tends to tone down the warmth of yellow gold and up builds soft and serene nature in you.
