There's no doubt about it: pairing silver and gold jewellery together is about to become your new go-to look. Lucky for you, if you're unsure how to mix the two, we’ve got you covered. Read on to discover a few tips and tricks that will make wearing silver and gold easy (you’re welcome).
Can you wear gold and silver jewellery together?
Everything and anything goes these days, especially when it comes to styling jewellery. Forget the unwritten rule that you can’t wear gold and silver together, the great news is: you 100% can. It’s likely you’ve built up a beautiful collection of gold and silver jewellery over time and have always worn the different metals separately. But now it’s time to switch things up. The celeb-loved look is worn by many, from Lizzo, Jennifer Lopez and Hailey Bieber, proving that mixing gold and silver jewellery really is having a moment.
Want to get it right? Whether it’s pairing yellow gold with silver or white gold jewellery, we’re here to make things simple with all the inspiration you need.
Here are our four top tips for mixing gold and silver jewellery:
1. Wear at least one combined piece
If you choose to wear a piece that’s already embellished in both silver and gold, it makes it much easier to wear either one of the metals elsewhere. Whether it’s a two-tone watch or a mixed metal ring, this is the piece that will help tie together your mixed metal look.
2. Use layering to your advantage
Layering is the most subtle way to style your silver and gold combo. It doesn’t just have to be layering gold and silver necklaces together, you could also pair a selection of silver bracelets with a couple of gold pieces to add a pop of colour. Or (if you have more than one ear piercing) stack up those matching gold and silver earrings together to show off your playful side. You can choose to keep it simple with a pair of silver hoop earrings paired with some delicate gold studs, or go for a fresher look with gold drop earrings and a silver stud stack.
3. Match styles or keep them similar
To make sure your silver and gold pieces complement one another, it’s best to stick to the same style or keep them similar. Making sure each jewellery piece has something in common will help pull the look together. Try pairing fine gold and white gold necklaces for a minimal, delicate look.
4. Wedding rings don't count
The tone of your wedding ring shouldn’t hold you back when it comes to wearing gold and silver rings together. Engagement rings and wedding rings are pieces you’ll wear forever, and will act as the base for you to further mix and match your metals. If you’ve got a stunning gold engagement ring, then complement it further with an intricate silver bracelet or necklace.
Will silver and gold jewellery get damaged if worn together?
We’ve worked out they’re basically the perfect duo, but is it safe to wear the two metals together without causing damage to your favourite jewellery? Don't worry, as silver is a reactive metal and gold is non-reactive, wearing the two together is unlikely to cause corrosion or rust. If you're wearing more than one piece of jewellery together, there is always a risk of them scratching. We recommend removing any jewellery during workouts, as this will help keep them in the best condition.
For those who have never dared to wear silver and gold together, let us ease you into it. After all, not all gold jewellery is gold-coloured. White gold jewellery is a good alternative for those not yet ready to contrast metals.
