“We are really seeing a trend in silver jewelry, but people still love wearing their gold pieces, especially against sun-kissed summer skin,” explains Melinda Spigel, the founder of Melinda Maria. “Mixing them together gives the perfect balance of easy-playful and polished-chic.” With that in mind, should you prefer one metal over the other, the founder says the pairing needn’t be 50/50. “If you love gold more than silver, I would go heavier on the gold in your mix, and vice versa if you prefer silver,” she suggests.
Another thing to consider is the metal’s texture. LÖF’s founder, Morgan Mackintosh, encourages you to incorporate more than one finish into your look — for instance, wearing a high-shine gold bangle with a matte silver ring. The result packs a sleek, elevated punch.
Eager for more tips on how to mix gold and silver jewelry? Below, a handful of industry experts share their best advice for helping you pull off the popular look.
Don’t Overdo It
Namesake jewelry designer Christina Caruso’s top advice for those new to the metal mixing game? Keep it clean and classic. One example: “If you’re wearing a thick chain link in gold, I would pair it with a simple silver bracelet.” So long as the metals aren’t overly textured or multicolored, this is a great entry point into the trend, she notes.
Though there are no rules when it comes to wearing jewelry, eponymous designer Aurelia Demark loves seeing one silhouette in different metal colors. “Wearing bangles in different metal colors or rings stacked in varying shades always makes a beautiful statement,” she specifies. This is perhaps one of the simplest approaches to the eye-catching jewelry trend.
