Style Tips on Mixing Your Metals for Success
This rule-breaking trend is everywhere this year. And our favourite thing about mixing metals? You no longer have to decide whether you’re going for a gold or silver look. Now, your fave pieces can hang out together, creating a mixed combo that exudes your style.
Playing with layers and stacks of gold and silver jewellery is the perfect way to create contrast and texture. Embrace both chunky and delicate chains or mix it up with different textured finishes like pearl accents, shimmering cubic zirconia and natural stones. A chic way to get creative with your jewellery this winter.
Let Your Stacks Shine
It’s time to practice the art of stacking and layering your jewellery. From statement necklaces to rings and bracelets, one is not enough this season. And a combination of gold and silver mixed metals promises to take your stacks to the next level. Right now, stacking is all about abundance. So, opt for extra – always.
All Things That Sparkle
Instantly accentuate the sparkle in your gold pieces of jewellery by layering and stacking them with silver picks. Choose earrings with some serious sparkle or a shimmering stone-encrusted necklace and layer with silver to add depth and dimension and to highlight the feature stones for even more sparkle. This is the perfect way to style your sparkle in a more casual way for every day.
Start Small
Not sure how to start? Just add in one piece of jewellery that contrasts with your usual metal. If you usually wear all silver jewellery but love the idea of this look, make it easy for yourself. Opt for one gold piece to incorporate into your silver must-haves.
Try one of this season’s chunky gold chains to layer with your favourite silver pieces or add a stackable statement gold ring to your collection of subtle silvers. Once you’ve got used to wearing a collection of mixed metals, you’ll soon get more creative with your stacks.
Go Hand by Hand
If you love a great ring stack, you might be tempted to mix your metals within the same stack. As a chic alternative with a little extra edge, try creating one stack on your left hand with all silver rings and one stack on your right hand with all gold. The perfect stylish contrast with purpose.
Create A Unique Colour Palette
Another way to personalise a mixed metal look is to add in a feature pop of colour. Choose a bright splash of turquoise enamel from our Hidden Gem or Mineral Glow collections and combine it with your gold and silver pieces for a triple threat stack.
The contrast of warm and cool tones when mixing gold and silver metals serves up the perfect amount of balance when creating a layered look. Best styled with black or white tops or dresses, keep the rest of your look simple and chic and allow your mixed metal accessories to do all the talking.
