Do you prefer white or yellow gold clasps?

[Shakentree]

Just wondering, what color clasp do you all prefer on your pearls? White or yellow gold? Does the color of the pearls impact your preference?

I am about to put in an order for my first strand (!!!). They are silver overtone FWP. I'm more of a white gold girl, and with the silver overtone I am thinking the white gold clasp would be better. What do you all think?

I enjoy both colors of gold, but with the whiter pearls I prefer a white gold clasp too.

That's a pretty strand! I hope you will post a neck shot when you get it.

I do not wear yellow gold as it does not suit my skin colour, and avoid pearls that are yellow/peachy/cherry/brown.

I almost always opt for WG because it's my personal preference. Some pearls go better with YG and then I go with that. I have a few pieces in Rose Gold and Green Gold. They are subtle in color, and I like those, too.

In this case since WG is your preference and go well with the pearls -- I'd say WG!

I like everything, but I agree that white gold will look great with that strand. Enjoy!

White gold is very neutral and doesn't overwhelm white pearls. It's great with the silver white pearls. I also have some yellow gold Mikimoto clasps and they are lovely with pinked white pearls. However, I also have a lot of two tone (white and yellow gold) clasps and I love them. They go with everything, but I have a lot of 2 and 3 color gold pieces.

Go with your gold preference. Also easier to match with earrings and stuff since I guess most of your accessories are in wg too.

I agree that WG is the way to go with the silver overtones. YG is fine but I'd do the WG. There are some pearls that I prefer with YG..like the Dark Tahitians or some of the Souffle colours are really nice with YG .

Agree with the others -- WG suits white/silver overtones better than YG. So, unless you have a preference for YG, want to match to something else in YG, etc, WG seems like the better choice.
