Mixed metals is no longer a style mistake — it is a modern and creative trend in jewellery. Mixing gold with silver shows personality, boldness, and confidence, as long as it is done with intention and harmony.
For years, mixing gold with silver was seen as a style error. Today? It is one of the most modern and creative trends in jewellery. Combining different metal tones shows personality, boldness, and confidence — and there are simple tricks to do it harmoniously.
1. Choose a piece that unifies the tones
The secret to starting? A piece that already mixes gold and silver. It can be a two-tone ring, a bracelet with contrasting details, or a necklace with chains of different finishes. This piece will act as a link for the whole set and make the mix intentional.
2. Play with proportions (without overdoing it)
If you are wearing silver earrings and a gold necklace, try to balance with rings or bracelets that repeat both tones. The idea is not for everything to match exactly, but for there to be a visual conversation between the pieces.
3. Keep texture and style cohesive
Minimalist jewellery pairs better with other clean pieces. More organic styles, with hammered texture or brushed finish, call for equally strong companions. Mixing gold and silver works even better when the pieces share a similar visual language.
4. Use silver as a neutral base
Recycled 925 silver, like the one we use at MESH, is discreet and versatile — ideal to serve as a base in a metal mix. Then, you can add golden touches to give warmth to the look. The result? A sophisticated and modern contrast.
5. Owning it is the final trick
The mix only works if done with confidence. Combining metals shows attitude, authenticity, and a contemporary vision of jewellery. At MESH, we design each piece to be worn your way — without strict rules.
