An interesting situation

GoneButNotForgotten — Sat, 19 Jun 2021 20:41:06 GMT

In the last few years my hair has gone gray--all of it, and it's a beautiful silver plus streaks of white are showing up.

I never realized it before but now I need to replace most of my earrings. My complexion is "cool" and silver looks good on me. And now all my silver earrings seem to have disappeared because they match my hair.

Has this happened to anyone else?

No, but it's a good excuse to buy more jewelry--LOL!!!

I let my hair go silver when I retired in 1998, and haven't worn anything except sterling ever since. My collection has grown hugely. I wouldn't wear anything but silver with my silver hair and it certainly doesn't disappear. They compliment each other.

My natural hair color has always been black. I have a very light cool skin tone and light ice blue eyes. I have always looked better in white metals.

Almost of my jewelry is white gold. I also have some SS. my hair is now salt and pepper and my jewelry still looks good on me.

One's colors never change. Colors are done to harmonize with skin tone.

No matter what your hair does, your skin will keep the same "blue" or "yellow" cast which is the focus.

Hair and eye color are only used to aid in finding the proper season.

I have had very dark brown hair, blonde hair, and some weird white/silver hair and I wear all my good jewelry gold and silver.

I'm not going to quit wearing my pretty things. I am not someone who feels everything I wear must be absolutely positively THE best. I wear a lot of what I love--that is fine with me if not fabulous by the book.

My hair is medium brown with red tinge.

Will have to hope it never changes, as I love my yellow gold, and am not able to wear silver.

I used to wear a ton of 14k-22k gold until I retired in 2006. I let my hair go long and grey; now I wear exclusively sterling, except for my wedding band ( gold and diamonds ). As gold is on its way up again, probably I'll sell much of it w/n next two years.

Basically white now and wore silver today. I thought it showed up.

Gold works too.

Hang on to your gold. It is an investment.

I'm gray now with lots of white and some darker gray still mixed in. I love rose gold earrings with the gray. It warms up my complexion and looks great.

I'd love to wear silver but it makes my skin sore and bleed. I've tried cheap and expensive brands without luck.

I am a natural brunette with brown eyes & a "warm" fair complexion. Now though my hair is more than 70% gray. i color it a medium golden brown & wear whatever metal I feel like that day. For years I only wore white like my wedding set but recently I have been wearing a lot of yellow & rose mixed in as well. I wear a yellow gold cross a lot & either wear two-tone or tri-color hoops with it & a two-tone bracelet everyday. It all works.
