The Art of Mixing Metals
How to mix and match metals: Mixing metal in jewellery has evolved from a fashion don't to a highly coveted trend. Mastering this look requires balancing different metals for a cohesive style. Here are our top tips:
Balance bold and subtle: Pair bold pieces with ore understated ones, like a statement gold ring with a simple silver layering piece. Top tip - use one dominant metal and the other as the accent.
Create a cohesive look: Focus on texture and finish; polished pieces pair well together, while mixing in textures adds depth to your look. Top tip - Use one charm or style to unify the look.
Expand your jewellery box: Mix metals across bracelets, necklaces, earrings and rings to enhance the effect. Top tip - Start with a statement piece that blends metals and complement it with daintier pieces.
