Is it okay to mix silver and gold jewellery?
One of the oldest unspoken rules in the jewellery world is that gold jewellery and silver jewellery should never be worn together, but we certainly don’t adhere to that old-fashioned rule anymore! We’d even go so far as to question why mixing metals was ever considered a fashion no-go, and so will you once you see the magic that happens once you mix silver jewellery and gold jewellery! Time to break some rules, girls! In today’s jewellery landscape, mixing metals is the most exciting and innovative way to wear your jewellery pieces. So how did mixing metals become such a massive jewellery trend? Well, you could argue that with the resurgence of silver as the must-have metallic colour for everything from clothing to accessories and jewellery, years of gold jewellery collecting suddenly seemed a bit of a waste, unless you found a way to combine the two, enter: mixing metals! Wearing gold and silver jewellery together feels like striking the perfect balance between edgy & modern silver with elegant & warm gold. In other words, yes! It’s totally okay to mix gold and silver jewellery!
How do you mix gold and silver metal?
The expression: ‘less is more’ has been a staple in life for way too long if you ask us, and when it comes to jewellery it simply doesn’t feel all that relevant anymore. Mixing gold and silver jewellery is the ultimate way to put together a statement, eclectic jewellery look for any outfit and any occasion. The trick to putting together the perfect mixed metals jewellery look is, balance, and that means striking the right level of mixing. We’re not talking a full silver jewellery look with the addition of one gold ring, or all gold earrings and necklaces and only silver rings here. When it comes to perfectly mixing and matching different metals, we want every jewellery stack to contain a bit of both. That means mixing your gold and silver rings on one hand, stacking your necklaces in both silver and gold platings, and creating an eclectic ear party with your silver studs and gold hoops. Your jewellery choices are an expression of your personality and style, so if you’re braving this funky look you better go all out! Mix chunky rings with more delicate rings and gemstone rings, and pair your vintage gold watch with some chunky silver chain bracelets for that irresistible devil-may-care attitude.
Mixing silver and gold rings
Mixing gold and silver metals has catapulted itself into our hearts and we absolutely love the freedom of styling our jewellery without out-dated rules holding us back. Get creative and style your favourite gold and silver pieces in a variety of styles, shapes and sizes. Pair chain rings with signet rings for a vintage vibe, or add a touch of sparkle with gemstone rings paired with a statement ring. Take risks, babe! If you prefer a more classic, paired back ring stack simply opt for a multitude of minimalist rings in both silver and gold platings. Simple but fun! Rings were designed to be worn as a stack, so be bold and dare to wear an out-of-the-box ring party! Mixing silver and gold jewellery is the ultimate hot girl trend!
Mixing silver and gold earrings
Mixing metals is like yin & yang for your ears! The key to a statement yin & yang look with mixed metals is layering. Add multiple layers of earrings to your ear stack for a fun and dynamic effect. Go for a bunch of different style hoop earrings, and style them with your favourite initial earrings, rhinestone earrings or minimalist earrings, to create an on-trend everyday look that will turn heads! Mixing metals for a party? Say no more. Start with a pair of subtle studs and add some statement earrings to add a bit of flair and sparkle to your day. Mixing silver and gold jewellery can also be done with your personal jewellery, so why not mix different earrings that hold a special meaning to you together, say those heirloom silver earrings your grandma gave you with those gorgeous gold earrings gifted by a loved one. By mixing such meaningful pieces in different metals, you’re creating a jewellery look that is completely and utterly beautiful and totally unique to your personality! In short, mixing silver and gold metals is simply the best of both jewellery worlds!
