The idea of wearing silver and gold together is not new, but the debate over mixed metals has been at the forefront of fashion media over the past year. Most people have declared themselves a gold or silver person, but what’s stopping us from wearing both? In fact, why not add rose gold into the mix?
Mixed metal jewelry can not only break your mold of jewelry habits, but it is also a way to add an interesting element to an otherwise simple outfit. If you want to find pieces that have already “mixed” the metals for you, here are a few suggestions.
An affordable and unique collection of mixed metal jewelry can be found at En Route. They offer daintier options like the “Tempting Heart Ring” shown in the picture to the left, or bolder and more distinctive pieces like the “Cluster Earrings” to the right. Their entire collection of mixed metal jewelry has something for everyone.
At a slightly higher price point, the brand Uncommon James has sleek and stylish options that are great for those looking for solid everyday pieces. Their simpler designs are perfect for trying out mixed metals without making them the focal point of your look. One of these options is the “Mixed Up” necklace with silver on one side and gold on the other. Another is their “Mixed Up” ring, and “Mixed Huggie Earrings.” All of these pieces, shown here, allow for experimentation with mixed metals without breaking the bank.
Other than choosing to purchase new mixed metal jewelry, you can also work with what you already have. Layering rings of different colors or alternating metals in your ear piercings are great ways to switch things up in your style. You do not need to stop yourself from wearing or purchasing jewelry that is out of your “color palette.” If you like a piece, wear it!
The trend of mixed metals recently infiltrated my own style. I have this beautiful gold scarab link bracelet that my grandmother gave me a few years ago, and I used to wear it all the time with other gold jewelry. Then, I started switching my piercings and usual rings over to silver. This deterred me from wearing the bracelet with my everyday jewelry for fear of clashing silver with gold. So, when I started to see the trend of mixed metals on the rise, I was happy to bring that meaningful piece of jewelry back into my accessory rotation. It felt odd at first to pair it with silver rings and necklaces, but with the right styling, mixed metals can be a good way to make the most out of all your jewelry.
So stop choosing—silver or gold? Wear both!
