Gold or silver? The answer comes down to one rule and three nuances.<\/p>\n<h2>The rule: one metal<\/h2>\n<p>The metal of the bag follows your jewellery. A gold-tone set, a bag with a gold-tone frame; silver or crystal earrings, a silver-tone bag. Two metals side by side, at the hand and at the neck, get more attention than the bag itself.<\/p>\n<h2>Nuance 1: beads and crystal go with everything<\/h2>\n<p>If you are wearing beads or crystal with no visible metal, you are free to choose. A <a href=\"https:\/\/hk-handmade.com\/en\/product\/sac-perles-velours-noir-blanc\/\">black and white beaded bag with a silver-tone frame<\/a> or a <a href=\"https:\/\/hk-handmade.com\/en\/product\/sac-perles-noires-cadre-anse-dores\/\">black beaded bag with a gold-tone frame<\/a> both work.<\/p>\n<h2>Nuance 2: the colour of the dress<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Gold<\/strong> with warm tones: burgundy, green, camel, ochre, black.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Silver<\/strong> with cool tones: midnight blue, grey, lilac, pure white.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>black<\/strong> goes with both.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Nuance 3: your skin tone<\/h2>\n<p>It is often said that gold warms olive skin and silver brightens fair skin. That is a starting point, not a rule: try both metals near your face, in evening light.<\/p>\n<h2>What about rose gold and bronze?<\/h2>\n<p>Rose gold sits close to gold: it goes with a gold-tone frame, and with pinkish and nude tones. Bronze and copper also fall on the warm side. Matt black and steel grey, on the other hand, go with silver.<\/p>\n<h2>The small metal details count too<\/h2>\n<p>The clasp, the handle fittings, the ring on a Japanese knot bag: these are what show when the bag is held in the hand. Look at them as closely as the frame when you compare two bags.<\/p>\n<h2>Our gold-tone bags<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/hk-handmade.com\/en\/product\/sac-perles-blanches-dore\/\">Rectangular white beaded bag<\/a>, gold-tone frame and chain.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/hk-handmade.com\/en\/product\/sac-perles-nacrees-fermoir-dore-anse-bambou\/\">White beaded bag with a bamboo handle<\/a>, gold-tone frame.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/hk-handmade.com\/en\/product\/sac-soiree-velours-brode-franges-bordeaux\/\">Embroidered velvet with fringe<\/a>, gold-tone mount and fringe.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/hk-handmade.com\/en\/sac-noeud-japonais\/\">Japanese knot bags<\/a>, gold-tone ring.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Our silver-tone bags<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/hk-handmade.com\/en\/product\/sac-perles-noir-blanc\/\">Black and white beaded bag<\/a>, engraved silver-tone frame.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/hk-handmade.com\/en\/product\/sac-perles-velours-noir-blanc\/\">Velvet-finish black and white beaded bag<\/a>, silver-tone frame and chain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For the complete look, see our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/hk-handmade.com\/en\/quel-sac-de-soiree-mariage\/\">choosing an evening bag for a wedding<\/a>.

The rule applies to the jewellery you wear with the outfit.<\/p>\n<h3>Is gold dressier than silver?<\/h3>\n<p>No: both are dressy.
