Tips and Tricks—Mixing Metals, A Good Idea?

Question: Can you mix silver and gold jewelry?

Answer: Yes! We all know the old rule we grew up with-- never mix silver and gold, but this simply no longer applies!

Well known jewelry designers are mixing gold and silver together to create amazing necklaces, bracelets, and earrings that allow for tremendous versatility.

If you need some convincing, see any recent fashion mag. Models are shown rocking mixed heavy metals and have for some time now.

Personally, we love the combo. Pictured is an exciting piece found on Net-A-Porter.com (Falconiere- Frantz Necklace)

But, how to make it 'work' for you?

To start, include a few two-tone pieces (for example a watch that has silver & gold in it, or a ring that has mixed yellow & white gold). Once you start that 'look' happening, you can add different pieces of silver or gold, and they will all look great and quite intentional together.

Happy mixing!
