Did you know your natural features can help you choose the perfect jewelry?

Colorimetry is a powerful tool to enhance your beauty with the shades that best suit you. And if you belong to the summer season, there's a palette made just for you — soft, elegant, and timeless. In this guide, we’ll show you how to make the most of your look with jewelry that harmonizes with your skin, eyes, and hair.

What Is Color Analysis and How Do You Know If You're a Summer?

Color analysis categorizes people into seasons based on their natural features. If your skin is fair (sometimes with pink or beige undertones), your hair ranges from ash blonde to light brown, and your eyes are blue, green, or grayish — you’re most likely a Summer.

Try this quick test: hold a piece of pink and a piece of orange fabric under your face in natural light. If pink brings brightness to your face and orange makes you look tired, your undertone is cool — which places you in the Summer (or Winter) family, depending on your contrast level.

The Summer Palette: Soft Colors That Enhance

Pastel, cool, and powdery tones are your best allies. Think lavender blue, dusty pink, pearl gray, mint, icy white, or mauve. These colors bring out your natural glow without overwhelming you. Avoid earthy shades, bright yellow, orange, and shiny gold — they may create harsh contrast against your skin.

When it comes to jewelry, pieces made of silver, platinum, or white gold are ideal. They reflect the subtlety and freshness of your season. A vintage white gold ring with sapphires or antique pearl earrings could become your best-kept secret for timeless elegance.

Recommended Jewelry for Summer Types

At Moira Antique Jewelry, we curate pieces that have stood the test of time and beautifully suit each unique style. If you’re a Summer, we suggest:

• Vintage white gold rings with pastel gemstones: aquamarines, light sapphires, or lavender amethysts.
  
  
• Platinum bracelets and necklaces: understated and refined, perfect for minimalist or formal looks.
  
  
• Earrings with natural pearls or antique diamonds: they add light to your face without clashing with your skin tone.
  
  
• Jewelry with pink or blue stones: like morganite or topaz, which bring out the cool undertones in your complexion.

What Jewelry Should You Avoid?

While yellow gold may be tempting, it’s not always the best match for Summer types. People with cool undertones should be cautious with shiny gold or bronze finishes, as they can create too much contrast. If you prefer gold, opt for softer tones like white gold or light rose gold that blend better with your natural harmony.

Celebrities With Summer Color Analysis: Who to Look To for Inspiration

Summer is one of the most versatile of the cool seasons, and many well-known women fall into this category thanks to their soft, elegant features. Here are more style icons you might relate to:

• Ashley Benson – With ash blonde hair, light eyes, and rosy skin, she’s the perfect example of a soft Summer. She often chooses delicate pastel outfits and silver jewelry.
  
  
• Dakota Fanning – Like her sister Elle, her angelic look and fair skin work beautifully with soft blues, pinks, and antique pearls or sapphires.
  
  
• Saoirse Ronan – Her light hair and blue-green eyes give her that cool, harmonious Summer aesthetic. She often wears subtle makeup and elegant vintage-inspired pieces.
  
  
• Gwyneth Paltrow – Even when she’s tanned, her natural tone is cool and gentle. She favors monochromatic looks in light shades with white gold or silver accents.
  
  
• Amanda Seyfried – With light hair, green eyes, and rosy skin, she shines in lavender, baby blue, and pastel pink — often pairing her looks with vintage rings featuring amethysts or soft gemstones.
  
  
• Drew Barrymore (at her most natural) – While she tans easily, her natural features fall within the soft Summer category. She often wears romantic dresses paired with meaningful vintage jewels.

These women don’t just share a color season — they also share a refined and graceful way of highlighting their beauty. Their fashion and jewelry choices are proof that the right tones make all the difference.

Matching Your Makeup and Jewelry to Your Season

Makeup can also complement your Summer look. Use soft eyeshadows in lilac, rosy pink, or smoky blue, a light pink blush, and cool-toned lipsticks like soft fuchsia or rosy nude. Stay away from earthy or orange tones.

A subtle makeup look paired with a vintage jewel with soul is often all you need for a fresh, refined, and timeless style.

Build Your Ideal Jewelry Box With Pieces That Suit You

Summer is the season of quiet elegance. Of pieces that don’t shout — but that are deeply felt. If you’re building your ideal collection, start with a base of vintage rings in white gold or platinum, add delicate pendants with blue stones, and finish with earrings that light up your face without overpowering it. It’s not about having a lot — it’s about having the right ones.
