Mixing metals 101

March 29, 2022

Wearing a gold bangle with a silver ring was formerly considered a fashion faux pas, but now it's fashionable to mix metals.

Here are a few pointers to help you achieve a seamless look when wearing various metals:

To add visual appeal, layer:

When combining metals, pile different jewellery items on top of or near to one another, such as numerous necklaces around your neck or a few rings on your fingers. To find the most fashionable appearance, experiment with different combinations. To minimise tangling, choose necklaces of diverse lengths and rings of differing thicknesses to provide aesthetic interest.

2. Balance is the way to go:

When wearing a variety of metals, a good rule of thumb is to keep the quantity of metal items in your collection balanced. It might be disconcerting to wear a gold necklace with mostly silver elements. Wear one or two bracelets of each metal you want, rather than four gold bracelets and a silver ring, if you enjoy bracelets. For a more coherent style, combine metals evenly throughout the outfit, such as rose gold and silver necklaces with gold and silver bracelets.

3. Choose metals that complement your undertone:

Mixing pieces that match your skin tone is an excellent way to get started with mixed metals. Warmer skin undertones are complemented by yellow gold and rose gold, while cooler undertones are complemented by silver and white gold.

4. Toning of your metals:

Distinct pieces of jewellery convey different tones. A youthful and playful umbrella pendant necklace will appeal to you, while a delicate gemstone necklace will exude refinement and elegance. Determine the tone of your favourite pieces so you can combine them with similar-toned pieces.
