Hi! My thoughts on chalcedony and white metal...

My opinion is not so much if it matches your skin tone; it's more about the look you want with a piece of jewelry.
An example is high jewelry which nearly high jewelry uses platinum, a white metal. Hence, with high jewelry, it's pretty much platinumWG or nothing. I don't know anyone who looks "bad" in a million dollar piece of bling. Is it their look? Perhaps not, but the piece itself I am sure makes a statement.

On one's fashion look...
Each metal gives a different look. The beauty of white metal is that it is a neutral. Diamonds are often paired with white metal (e.g. platinum/WG) as the white metal takes a backseat, and all you see are the diamonds. YG is bold and highlights beauty of the warm metal. RG is soft, and it can sometimes disappear next to skin for a gentle look, which is why some love RG.

Stones are the same. There is no such thing as a bad stone. Rather, it's the look you want to achieve with that stone.
Chalcedony is a mellow stone. It's ethereal, a 20 motif is like clouds floating on a chain. Each motif is unique as each cloud is unique, one of a kind, created by nature.

Chalcedony has a quiet elegance to me. Chalcedony whispers, like a siren calling, slowing pulling the eye in to pause and stare. It does not pop or scream, but once you see it, the eye cannot let go.

The question is more if you want a mellow and dreamy look vs. a bright color that pops like blue agate.
I would think not so much about how it looks on your skin, but rather, I would think more about the look you want to portray as everyone has a look.

Maybe think about it in that perspective to see if it changes your view on chalcedony.
Just my two cents for another point of view. Hope this helps.

You are always persuasive either to buy or not to buy because you give lots of details and supporting points, I can imagine you are good at your work, .
if I every get a chance, I would really love to try chaceldony necklace or earring again l. This time, without thinking what gold color is, but just focus on the stone.
thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Chalcedony is my favorite stone. It’s easy, casual yet interesting. Makes me lean in to study it. It also happens to work with my complexion.

I just love how Chalcedony looks on you, it glows and pops. I felt like the chalcedony 10 motif looked flat on my skintone. I keep admiring how beautiful it looks on you though :loveeyes:
