Mixing Gold and Silver-Tone Rings
Rings are a perfect way to start experimenting with mixing metals. The styling possibilities are infinite: you can wear a different metal on each finger, build ring stacks that pair warm golden tones with cool silvers, or choose one ring that fuses two or more metals together. Our Hyperbola ring is a striking example, weaving contrasting metallic threads with strings of unifying clear crystals.
Perfect Pairings: Mixing Gold and Silver Wedding Rings
Combining gold and silver wedding rings is a visually striking way to represent the coming together of two distinct personalities.
A twist on tradition, this approach to wedding ring styling releases you from the constraints of choosing rings in the same shade and ensures you can mix metals in the rest of your jewelry without removing your most cherished piece.
Mixing Gold and Silver-Tone Necklaces
Layering necklaces instantly elevates both everyday and special occasion ensembles. Mixing gold and silver chains amplifies the effect with the two tones interacting independently with the light. Style necklaces of multiple lengths to add levels to your look or choose one piece that includes multiple metals in one like our Hyperbola choker. Metallic spirals and precision cut crystals are a captivating combination.
Mixing Gold and Silver-Tone Earrings
Mix metals in your earrings to build an ear stack that stands out. Prioritize wearability with studs in silver and gold tones, subvert expectations by pairing bold gold-tone Millenia drop earrings with a punk-infused Sublima ruthenium ear cuff, or opt for our Hyperbola hoops with their alternating gold-tone and silver-tone circles.
Mixing Gold and Silver-Tone Bracelets
Add intrigue to your wristwear by embracing mixed metals and a collision of vividly-colored crystals. The ideal way to transform a casual outfit, stacking gold and silver-tone bracelets together with the vibrant shine of our icon, Millenia, is a formula for effortless extravagance. For evening, embrace elegance with our simple yet sublime Hyperbola bangles, which combine warm golden tones with round cut crystals.
How to Mix Metals in Jewelry
Each metallic tone reflects the light differently, impacting the way it contrasts with the colors in your clothes or complements your complexion. Mixing metals in your jewelry creates unique combinations that can bring out the best qualities of each shade; warm gold softens silver, rose tones lend vintage appeal to yellow gold, and white gold can illuminate the cool depths of ruthenium.
How to Wear Rose Gold and Yellow Gold Hues Together
A more unusual pairing, rose gold and yellow gold can create an elegant, if unexpected, partnership. Rose gold tones take the edge off bright gold hues that may otherwise dominate your ensemble. Consider wearing a rose gold-tone timepiece like our Dextera Octagon watch with our gold-tone Sublima bangle or Constella bracelet with its spectrum of playful pink crystals.
Styling White with Yellow Gold
The most radical contrast, white and yellow gold tones always make a strong style statement. Mixing white and yellow gold necklaces is one way to try this trend and can be especially effective when worn with a monochrome outfit. Keep the styles similar but play with length to add interest: think our Una Angelic strandage teamed with our Imber necklace or our Hyperbola pendant with its multiple metallic tones. White gold next to silver is virtually indistinguishable so these metals can be mixed and matched with ease.
Create Your Own Metal Medley
Wearing silver and gold together is a simple way to show off your style credentials. It signals confidence, rebellion, and unapologetic self-expression. Learning how to mix metal jewelry frees you to wear your favorite pieces without worrying if the tones match. You can use different metals throughout your look or choose to experiment with one element like your bracelet stack. You can also find designs that do the hard work for you, mixing different metallic tones into one standout piece of jewelry.
