Mixed metal jewelry consists of combining more than one type of metal in a single piece. Today, the trend is mixing silver pieces with gold. These designs can be used for chains, bracelets, rings, and earrings. Phillip Gavriel offers mixed metals jewelry crafted from sterling silver and real 18K gold for a luxurious feel. Here is more information on why mixed metal jewelry is emerging as the next big trend in fashion:
Versatile Options
Using silver and gold in mixed metals jewelry allows for more versatility in accessorizing. Gold expresses classic elegance and pairs with warm tones, while silver offers contemporary sophistication and complements cool color palettes. The combination of the two metals creates an accessory that goes with a variety of colors and ensembles. The Silver & 18K Gold Victorian Cable Link Bracelet can elevate a casual outfit or complement something more dressy. It can be easily paired with various colors of clothing.
Balanced Looks
Mixed metal designs help achieve a balanced look by blending silver’s cool tones with gold’s warmth, creating a rich sense of visual depth. A piece of mixed metal jewelry helps tie both silver and gold accessories together, allowing you to utilize both metals in an ensemble. You can complement a gold watch and a silver ring by pairing them with mixed metal earrings, such as our Silver & 18K Gold Oval Traverso Hoop Earrings. This creates a harmonious appearance.
Coordinate an ensemble with bold gold earrings and a simple mixed metal chain, such as the Silver & 18K Italian Cable Interlocking Bar Necklace. For a stylish look, simple earrings or bracelets can be balanced with a statement chain necklace. Gold members of our PG Royal Club receive a complimentary styling session, which may include instructions on balancing mixed pieces.
Enhanced Convenience
Mixed metals is a trend that allows for greater convenience when accessorizing. This makes planning outfits and preparing for events easier. Mixed metal pieces help with:
-
Transitioning Between Looks: Blending gold and silver in jewelry creates a versatile yet sophisticated piece that makes the transition from daywear to nightwear easier. You can wear the Silver & 18K Gold Paperclip Traverso Hoop Earrings during a work presentation in the day and at a celebratory dinner in the evening.
-
Packing Light: Mixed metal jewelry makes it easier to pack accessories for a work trip. Rather than bringing multiple accessories to match different occasions and ensembles, you can bring several mixed metal pieces.
-
Coordinating Accessories: Rather than stacking several gold and silver necklaces for a mixed metal effect, use a chain with silver and gold links. This creates a cohesive and intentional appearance.
Mixed metal pieces coordinate gold and silver by utilizing principles of tone and placement. This eliminates the need to guess which pieces go together when accessorizing. Mixed metal jewelry creates intentional contrast and a polished appearance, helping avoid mismatched or bulky combinations.
