• Hot pink
• Royal blue

Metals

Polished yellow gold reflects your clarity. Brushed or oxidised silver tends to flatten what makes Spring Bright shine.

• Buttercup
• Pastel pink
• Ivory
• Sky blue

Metals

Light yellow gold and rose gold sit beautifully against your skin. Stay away from heavy antiqued silver, which looks grey on you.
