Soft Summer

Soft Summer jewelry

Metal temperature is one clue. Surface finish, stone color and the size of the piece matter too.

Dusty rose, blue-gray and muted pine share a quiet, cool cast. Layer neighboring depths so one very bright piece does not steal all the attention.

Metal color references

Compare silver, platinum and cooler white-metal color directions.

A practical rule

Compare metals with the same finish and scale. The metal chips below approximate color only, not shine, reflection or an exact alloy.

For this softer palette, try colors of a similar depth together before adding a strong contrast.

Try it with what you own

Choose one item from your wardrobe or makeup kit. Compare it with a chip, then look at the actual item in neutral daylight. Keep notes about combinations you enjoy.
