Yes, You Can: Seven Ways To Mix Your Metals

Words by Emma Pradella

22 September 2022

Any time before the past couple of decades, mixing gold and silver jewellery was considered a big fashion faux pas – akin to pairing black with navy, if you will. Jewellery wearers were either on the silver or gold side, with little to no exception. But fast forward to 2022, wearing both metals simultaneously is one of the biggest jewellery trends of the moment.

Want to get it right? You’ll have to consider balance, complement your undertone and, of course, layer. Or you could just find a mixed-metal piece that does the trick – here are seven items that have us charmed from Spinelli Kilcollin, Lauren Rubinski and more.

01.

The Spinelli Kilcollin chain

Interlocked and mixed-metal styles are some of Spinelli Kilcollin’s signatures, and this necklace sums them up perfectly. It features yellow and rose gold and sterling silver, so you won’t have to worry too much about your skin undertones.

02.

The Jenny Dee Jewelry signet

This Jenny Dee Jewelry ring is the kind of heirloom-like piece that can add a touch of personality to any outfit. Not only does it reference the designer’s astronomy inspiration, it also features a mix of metal and stones – note the turquoise cabochon – that will make all the right impressions.

03.

The Yvonne Léon tennis bracelet

Why go for a traditional tennis bracelet when you can have Yvonne Léon’s contemporary interpretation? Sometimes the simple power of contrast proves to be the most effective, and this bracelet – made from yellow gold with round-cut diamonds on one side and white gold with baguette diamonds on the other – does just that.

04.

The EÉRA earring

Hardware and utilitarian influences are at the core of EÉRA’s collection – case in point, this carabiner-inspired interlocking earring. The combination of gold, black-coated silver and pavé diamonds make it an easy, everyday piece.

05.

The Lauren Rubinski necklace

If you’re looking for a subtle way to mix metals and bold jewellery isn’t your bag, may we suggest Lauren Rubinski’s necklace. The white-gold chain – designed to resemble an industrial cord – is set with a brushed gold pendant that’ll sit nicely beneath an open shirt.

06.

The SHAY ring

Stacking rings and playing with proportions will get a lot more fun when you throw SHAY’s statement piece into the mix. The ceramic links – inspired by classic Cuban styles – are flat-edged for comfort, and centred by a pavé setting of glinting diamonds.

07.

The MAOR bracelet

Can you style out tailoring with mixed-metal jewellery? The answer is yes, especially if you choose the subtle style of MAOR. Aptly named Solstice (Mr Mahor Cohen’s entire jewellery line is inspired by the cosmos), it’s forged from alternative yellow and white-gold bars.
