Is a yellow gold name necklace a perfect gift for a dark-skinned guy?

Asked 3 years ago

My partner is a person of color, and I'm looking for a name necklace to express my gratitude to him this Christmas. I've been researching materials, and yellow gold has caught my attention. I don't know if gold will contrast elegantly with his dark skin. Can gold best complement his skin tone?

You're in luck – any metal will look striking on a person of color, although silver can get a bit lost on darker skin, especially in the form of fine jewelry. However, Gold really comes into its own though on darker skin tones, so it will be the best metal option for him for sure.
