For individuals who don’t want to choose between sterling silver and 18K gold jewelry, Phillip Gavriel’s mixed metal pieces provide a stylish solution. We offer bracelets, earrings, and necklaces that seamlessly blend metals, allowing you to accessorize with timeless, versatile designs. Here is more information about the art of wearing mixed metal jewelry:
Start With a Signature Piece
When exploring mixed metal looks, start with a statement piece that can serve as a focal point for your look. Phillip Gavriel’s Silver & 18K Gold Victorian Cable Link Bracelet offers elegant chain links with both silver and gold connected with a lobster clasp. This piece is versatile enough that individuals can wear it to work daily or save it for special occasions, such as weddings or galas. The blend of warm gold and cool-toned silver allows you to add accessories without feeling mismatched.
Another signature mixed metal piece to try is our Silver & 18K Small Paperclip Cable Earrings. The silver metal provides a twisted look surrounded by smooth gold rings. Women can wear these earrings with their hair up for a statement look that they can combine with matching necklaces or rings. Having a mixed-metal jewelry piece that serves as a focal point allows you to then match the rest of your outfit to that item.
Wearing a piece that blends metals is often better than stacking separate silver and gold items, as it offers a cohesive aesthetic rather than a mismatched or cluttered appearance. The design is intentional, with careful attention to proportion, tone, and placement, making the contrast look polished rather than accidental. A unified piece also eliminates the guesswork of pairing different jewelry items and verifies that your accessories complement rather than compete with one another.
Balance Your Look
Mixed metal jewelry should be balanced and adjusted according to your outfit. Avoid piling all of your pieces onto one hand or wearing several statement necklaces around your neck. Distribute the pieces evenly by wearing bold earrings with a delicate, mixed-metal chain around your neck. Playing with proportions adds visual interest without looking overwhelming.
Mixed metal pieces solve the dilemma of whether or not your pieces match by blending popular metals into a harmonious design. Instead of worrying about whether your earrings match your bracelet or if your necklace clashes with your watch, a mixed metal piece ties everything together effortlessly. Due to this, mixed-metal jewelry is incredibly versatile. It complements nearly any existing collection, whether your wardrobe leans more toward gold, sterling silver, or both. Rather than replacing what you already own, a mixed-metal piece provides a smart and stylish addition that extends the wearability of your entire jewelry collection.
Build a Cohesive Collection
Another way to wear mixed-metal jewelry pieces is to balance them with a cohesive look. We offer a Silver & 18K Gold Prosecco Diamond Ring that has a matching necklace and stud earrings that you can wear for a beautiful, coordinated look. You can also mix and match these pieces with other styles for a subtle, everyday outfit. Wearing earrings that match your ring or necklace is a chic way to tie your look together.
Look Over Your Outfit
Choosing the right outfit is just as necessary as picking the appropriate jewelry pieces. When wearing mixed metals, try to make the jewelry the focal point of your look. Gold and silver jewelry pieces pop against neutral colors like black, white, or denim. Style our Silver & 18K Alternating Figaro Necklace with a white button-up or wear our Silver & 18K Prosecco X Cuff with an elegant black dress. Clean lines and simple silhouettes help to highlight your mixed-metal accessories. If you want to wear printed fabrics with your jewelry pieces, incorporate subtle patterns with florals or stripes so that your metals complement your look rather than compete for attention.
