Silver or gold? This has been a long-standing debate– which is better? The answer: both. I love the idea of mixing silver and gold jewelry to create a specialized layered stack. So many people are constantly wondering whether silver or gold jewelry compliments them best, but rarely ever do they consider that both will look good on them. The contrast between the two metals creates a perfectly unexpected yet elegant mix.
Recently, I’ve noticed more people gravitating toward gold jewelry while disliking silver, as gold is often seen as classier. However, I find that wearing both silver and gold is even more classy than just gold itself. It’s a style that breaks common fashion trends, adding a gorgeous yet unique twist to jewelry stacks.
The best example of mixing silver and gold is seen in Pandora bracelets. I am obsessed with having both silver and gold charms on mine. When I first started wearing my bracelet and adding charms, I was disappointed to find that some charms were only offered in one metal type. Since I wear more gold than I do silver, I always reach for the gold version when falling in love with a specific charm. But whenever gold isn’t available, I settle for silver– initially disappointed, but once seeing it with the rest of my charms, I fall in love all over again.
Separate jewelry pieces being mixed is also stylish. Wearing a silver bracelet alongside a gold bracelet is a nice way to elevate your jewelry combination. When it comes to earring stacks, I love mixing metals. My go-to look is a silver stud with gold hoops for a simple look. One of my favorite hoop styles is a gold and silver metal twist – the perfect combination.
Mixed metal rings are a great way to combine the two. Whether it’s a single ring featuring both silver and gold or stacking separate silver and gold rings, it effortlessly elevates your style. The same goes for necklaces– layering two different pieces in silver and gold or wearing a design that intertwines both creates a sophisticated look.
The only metal that shouldn’t be mixed is rose gold. In my opinion, it’s the least appealing metal colorway. While I like rose gold phones, I find the color unattractive as jewelry. It sits awkwardly in between silver and gold, making it difficult to match with anything.
Ultimately, if you’re ever unsure what metal type looks best on you, just wear both. There’s no need to stress over which metal best complements your personality, skin color or features. Try this unique combination that’ll be sure to catch eyes and is guaranteed to go with every outfit.
