We adorn ourselves daily with loads of jewellery (if you're a maximalist) and stacks of daintier pieces (looking at you, minimalists), so chances are you’ve followed a rule or two about how exactly to wear it. But let’s be real: These rules are often so constrictive that they cramp your personal style, rather than improve it. Think about it: Every time you’ve really noticed someone’s outfit, it’s probably been because it stood out—and often, this means breaking rules. One such rule is mixing your jewellery metals. Once fashion’s biggest no-no is now a must-do. A fusion of (yellow and rose) gold and silver has been spotted all over the runway and should make its way to your jewellery box, too.
THE MIXED METALS MANTRA
There’s no longer such thing as a gold OR silver look. Now, your fave pieces can hang out together, creating a cool mixed combo. The key to achieving it is, simply, knowing how. Yes, there is a method to the mixing. And that’s where we come in. To help you really dive into this rule-breaking challenge, read on to see our styling tips for how to create your very own combinations of yellow gold, rose gold and silver. Ready? This is going to be fun, so keep scrolling to throw all caution to the wind.
IT’S ALL ABOUT CREATING BALANCE
The trick is to mix your metals in all different locations to give a balanced look.
For example, it might look odd if you wear all gold earrings and necklaces, but your bracelets are silver. Instead, we recommend choosing a mix of silver and gold across all pieces ensuring a balance across your entire look.
Aim to mix naturally — there's no need to follow a pattern.
And if you're a beginner? Start with two finishes like silver and yellow gold and go from there.
SIZE MATTERS
The size and shape of your pieces will have a direct impact on your mix and match look.
Have a dainty addiction? Stick to delicate pieces.
They are also inherently subtler to play with, so this is a good place to start.
But, if you like to go big and bold, then make a statement by mixing chunkier pieces in different finishes to make an impact.
Either way, we recommend starting with your favourite focal piece then accent it with plainer pieces in similar sizes (chunky or delicate) in other colours for a polished finish.
PICK A PENDANT (OR STONE)
Before you start mixing, have a look in mind — especially if you're weaving gemstones or pendants in.
After all, using different colour tones, like silver, yellow and rose gold, is a great way to accentuate diamonds and add depth and texture to your jewellery.
When mixing metals, it's a good idea to stick to one gemstone colour or one pendant to pull the look together.
Top tip: Don’t be afraid to be playful, confident, and bold with your choices.
Experimenting with different metals helps to curate your own personal style — make sure your pieces reflect you.
SHOP THE LOOK
If you're still finding mixing metals overwhelming, why not go for one piece that does it all for you? Whether it's a dual-toned style or even a three-toned design, there are plenty of options available across different budgets—many of which you'll find also make great gifts. Check out our picks below.
