The Easy Guide To Mixing Gold and Silver Jewellery
From dual metallic watches to layered necklace collaborations, find out how to shop and wear this mixed metal trend with a little help from Female First and Goldsmiths
Any local glam girl with style intuition is aware of the age-old holy Trend Testament: ‘thou outfit shall not be complete without an accessory’. It sounds easy enough in principle, but is much more difficult in practice. We also know that the decorative additions you use to develop your outfit can truly make or break your look. Hence why, in-between getting fully dressed and heading out the door, you often can find us frantically searching drawers and shelves for a pair of earrings or a couple more rings to add to the bling we're bringing with us wherever we're headed. On top of finding the right piece to finish off your outfit, accessorising presents another feat: making sure the metal shades in your jewellery don’t clash with features on your clothes. We’ve all experienced the discomfort of walking out with gold hoops then realising all the zippers on your leather jacket are silver. When it comes to customisation, this can be a serious challenge to overcome, but thankfully, we have a solution- and it’s one that doesn’t compromise the clothes you already own! The best way to resolve this problem is to become and expert in mixing metal shades- not only is it insanely practical, but it’s also massively fashion-forward. With gorgeous pieces exclusively from goldsmiths, we created a guide for mixing gold and silver jewellery. So, you can take a shortcut to less stress and more shine.
Wristwear
The quickest fool proof way to achieve this hack would be to grab a jewellery piece that already incorporates gold in silver in one. Watches that sport this shading are big in trend and are the perfect base for mixing metals in your outfit. Grab a gold and silver designer watch and feel free in your metallic pairings.
Rings
Rings are easy items you can wear multiples of, in different variations. Pick a larger statement gold ring for the middle finger and pair with a couple smaller silver bands on the same hand.
Necklaces and Earrings
For some diverse attention up top, layer some gold and silver necklaces to start off the colour scheme set right in the centre, then travel out wide and choose whatever shade earring suits your fancy. If you’ve got multiple piercings, keep it going!
