For years, mixing gold and silver was seen as a style faux pas. Today? It’s one of the most modern and creative trends in jewelry. Combining different metallic 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 getting started? A piece that already mixes gold and silver . It could 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 outfit and make the mix intentional.

2. Play with proportions (without exaggerating)

If you're wearing silver earrings and a gold necklace, try to balance them out with rings or bracelets that repeat both tones. The idea isn't for everything to match perfectly, but for there to be a visual conversation between the pieces .

3. Keeps texture and style cohesive

Minimalist jewelry pairs best with other clean pieces. More organic styles, with a hammered texture or brushed finish, call for a suitable companion. 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 kind we use at MESH, is understated and versatile—perfect for serving as a base for a mix of metals. Then, you can add gold accents to add a touch of warmth to the look. The result? A sophisticated, modern contrast .
