Choose The Right Pearl Color For You

by: Rock Ren

Pearls are said to be the perennial classics, they always look elegant and never go out of fashion. They could be part of necklaces, rings, bracelets or earrings, but they have a singular knack of reinventing themselves. But not all pearls are for everyone, and this is why we need to be careful while making our choices.

Almost the only pearls that suit almost everyone, are the Akoya whites from Japan, no matter what complexion, these look stunning anyhow. But then, they also cost an arm and a leg, because they are the best quality salt water cultured pearls, with the best rounded shape and luster. They come in white, cream, pink and yellow with overtones of light pink and green, but the whites go along with all skin complexions from very fair to very dark. They work to bring out skin radiance and attract positive attention to your smile. Mabe white pearls are also similarly apt for earrings and pendants for any type of skin.

Black pearls are usually Tahitian, and the clearer the skin complexion the better they look, they provide a natural foil to fair skin. The midnight black Tahitian pearls tend to do the best on fair brunettes with dark eyes, where they bring in a sense of mystique and dark sophistication. It helps that they come in all sorts of shades of gray, and make the best ever necklaces and earrings for those with gray eyes. The uncommonly beautiful pistachio, aubergine and pale blue Tahitian pearls add glamor to a dusky skin, and look great on almost all women, even those with ebony skins. If you have blue-tinted hair or magenta highlights, you could go for the colorful Tahitian pearls, and you could possibly carry off black Tahitians with aplomb if you are fair into the bargain.

In general, while buying pearls the rule of thumb is to select pink pearls for fairer skin tones, so a pink Akoya or Majorca would probably highlight the blushing paleness of a fair blondes or brunettes. Pink freshwater pearls are ideal for such skin complexions and conjure up an aura of youthful freshness. But fair beauties with red or red-dyed hair should possibly try and avoid them, and pick cream-toned pearls instead. For darker skin tones, silver or golden pearl tones are ideal, giving the complexion a bronzed radiance, South-sea pearls would probably be a good idea.

Pearls usually tend to be worn for formal occasions but with more and more different shades of pearls available every day, fashion mavens are having a field day experimenting with pearls on a day-today basis. The tips shared here are not the last word, and you can try on different color to see what they can do for you. But you can sure be clued in to the color of pearl that would do your complexion the greatest justice, and shop with confidence!
