Welcome to the fascinating world of colorimetry, the art of choosing colors that enhance your features. In this article, discover:

🔍 What is colorimetry?
Colorimetry is based on the analysis of your natural tones (skin, eyes, hair) to determine the colors that flatter you most. People are generally classified into 4 seasons:
• Spring: light, golden complexions, often with blonde to light brown hair
• Summer: fair to rosy skin, often with ash blonde or cool blonde hair
• Autumn: golden to olive skin, green or hazel eyes, red, warm brown hair
• Winter: very pale or very dark complexions, strong contrasts, dark or icy blue eyes
🌟 Why is it important for jewelry?
A well-chosen piece of jewelry can brighten your face, enhance your gaze, and even erase signs of fatigue.

💡 Bonus tips for choosing your jewelry:
1. Wear them close to your face: earrings, necklaces, and piercings directly influence the perception of your complexion.
2. Mix carefully: you can mix gold and silver, but maintain a harmony of temperature (warm or cool).
3. Listen to your emotions: the color of a piece of jewelry can also be chosen according to the intention of the day (confidence, love, protection…).
4. Natural light: test your jewelry in daylight to see what truly illuminates you.
