Mixing metals is quickly becoming a go-to trend, blending silver jewelry and gold jewelry in a way that pushes past traditional style boundaries. By pairing warm and cool tones, this trend offers a fresh, versatile take on accessorizing that puts individuality at the forefront.
While there are general guidelines, personal intuition plays a big role in finding a unique combination. Dive into our style guide to discover how to make the rising trend your own.
Mixing Silver and Gold Jewelry
Combining women’s silver jewelry and women’s gold jewelry enhances a look by blending gold’s warmth with silver’s coolness, creating depth and versatility. To master the art of styling different metals, consider balance, proportion and how finishes complement each other.
If you’re tired of wearing just a gold necklace everyday, there are many different ways to switch it up. For casual styling, layer simple pieces like thin chains or rings in both metals for a multi-dimensional stack, or try a super slim pair of silver and gold earrings from our JH Essentials collection. Another classic pairing to consider: a diamond necklace with a textured gold bracelet.
If you’re not used to wearing dramatic jewelry, formal occasions are a great way to dabble. Try combining our gold Love Knot necklace, which features a statement-making woven double knot, with a sleek mixed metal bracelet.
If you want to work a statement piece in a subtle manner, try a sculptural ring with metals in different colors—our twisted Carved Chain ring is a perfect example—with a delicate gold and silver necklace that offsets the boldness.
The beauty of mixed metal jewelry lies in personal expression, with no single "right way" to wear it. Whether you prefer to pare it down for everyday or make an attention-grabbing statement, define your unique style with artisan handcrafted jewelry pieces by John Hardy.
