FINDING YOUR METAL MATCH: A GUIDE TO
DIFFERENT METALS

The key to unlocking your full accessorizing potential is finding your favorite metal. Discovering your metal match is all about trying on different accessories and wearing the jewelry you’re drawn to! Some say the right metal is the one that complements your skin’s undertones, but at Paparazzi Accessories, we believe that the perfect metal for you is the one that makes you feel the most confident! 

Whether you prefer gold, silver, gunmetal, or mixed metals, Paparazzi has a wide selection of metal accessories that will make your style shine brighter than ever! Let’s take a look at some of the metals you’ll see in our adorable, affordable jewelry:

WARM-TONED METALS

Warm-toned metals have yellow, brown, or gold hues that catch the light and reflect back a glowing aura. Some of the warm-toned metals we use in our accessories include gold, copper, brass, and rose gold.

Gold 

Gold jewelry is great for accessorizing warm, soft, or chic looks. This refined metal color also adds instant sophistication and shine to any outfit. Gold accessories may come in different shades and intensities depending on the metal’s makeup, with finishes ranging from subtle white to stunning yellow. 

Our Cachet by Paparazzi line includes pieces plated with 18K gold, which gives the jewelry a rich luster and durable finish. Due to the higher concentration of pure gold in Cachet’s 18K gold plating, the accessories have a deep, yellow-gold hue that emanates luxury.

Copper

Copper is a versatile, warm-toned metal that gives jewelry designs a touch of artisanal energy. Copper jewelry can be high-sheen, with a glow that reflects every light in the room. It can also be antiqued, with a darker tone that radiates pure, rustic appeal.

Brass

Brass jewelry is perfect for fashionistas who want to give their gleaming gold accessories a little bit of grungy edge. The soft yellow hues, antiqued detailing, and brushed finishes of brass jewelry make for eye-catching additions to casual and special-occasion outfits.

Rose Gold

Rose gold is a unique metal that combines the radiant sheen of gold and copper in a single accessory. This results in jewelry with a rosy, pinkish hue that stands out from every other accessory in your collection. Rose gold is perfect for dainty, romantic pieces and filigreed designs.

COOL-TONED METALS

Cool-toned metals have a breathtaking white or grey gleam that can turn any outfit into an effortlessly chic statement. Some of the cool metals found in the Paparazzi Shop include silver, gunmetal, and rhodium. Cool-toned metal looks great in high-sheen, hammered, and antiqued finishes, making it easy to find unique accessories that match your every mood.

Silver 

The cool, shimmery essence of silver jewelry offers an immediate confidence boost for those bold enough to wear it. If you’re looking for sleek, statement-making accessories, reach for silver pieces. The silver accessories in our Cachet line are rhodium-plated, resulting in a stunning reflective finish that can withstand everyday wear.

Gunmetal

Gunmetal is a dark, moody metal that radiates rebellious glamour. If your style is a little edgy and your wardrobe is filled with deep hues, gunmetal jewelry will fit seamlessly into your everyday looks.

You can also accessorize using different colors within the warm- or cool-toned metal groups to give your look some instant depth and dimension!

Some of Paparazzi’s adorable, affordable accessories are made with multiple metal types, making it effortless to rock a mixed-metal look. Cachet also offers mixed-metal pieces featuring rhodium and 18K gold plating.
