For a long time one of the rules of fashion and style was do not ever mix gold and silver jewellery together. However this has gone the way of "don't wear white after labour day" - thankfully.
Honestly I do wonder who comes up with these rules sometimes. If you want to wear white in winter you can and if you want to mix your metals you can.
It did take me a while to get into the look. It was so ingrained in me that it didn't look right that I just never even tried it.
So what changed? I bought a stainless steel Cartier tank watch that I absolutely love and don't want to not wear it. When I purchased it I almost never wore gold but the last year or so I have worn a lot more gold or gold tone jewellery so I was always aware of it not "matching".
I looked at other watches with the gold tone but they were either far too expensive - the Cartier in gold is around 20k - or they were not such a nice watch and I just didn't want to compromise on that having saved for so long for my dream watch.
So I started looking at pictures of people that were mixing their metals and I actually liked the look.
There is a trick to it though. If you just throw it all on haphazardly then it will look like you just mixed your jewellery up. You need to make it look intentional.
Make sure the styles are similar. Don't put a delicate gold chain with a chunky silver bangle, that looks messy.
Use diamond pieces to help keep the look cohesive. Diamonds look slightly more silvery so if you had a gold ring, a diamond band and then a silver ring they will blend together more seamlessly then just gold and silver together.
You can buy pieces that are already mixed metals so you could add a few of them in and half the work is done for you.
I now love the look and it saved me from looking at new watches.
