How To Wear Silver & Gold Jewelry Together Without Clashing

You’ve likely accumulated a treasure trove of metallic baubles like silver, gold, and rose gold — to name just a few — as you’ve jumped from one jewelry trend to the next. With the fast-paced nature of the trend cycle, the pieces that aren’t en vogue, per se, are likely left to gather dust in your jewelry box. But that doesn’t always have to be the case. Once you know how to wear silver and gold jewelry together, you’ll be able to get an equal amount of wear out of all your pieces. And considering that pairing the two metallics together has long held an unjust reputation of being a fashion faux pas, mixing the two metals feels exciting and rebellious. Thus, for those who consider themselves style iconoclasts, the two-tone metallic look is a modern trend you’ll definitely want to join in on.

At the first mention of the idea, you might think that sporting two-tone jewelry is simple — duh, all you need to do is wear the metallics simultaneously. However, when you start experimenting with your pieces, you’ll quickly discover it’s a little more complicated. Take, for example, if you wear too much of a single metal in an ensemble. An abundance of one, either silver or gold, can occasionally feel loud and unbalanced, enough so that it may even distract from your actual outfit.

In the hopes of helping you avoid any styling pitfalls, TZR compiled a selection of jewelry pieces that make it easy to embody the contrasting metallic look. Some of the ahead items feature a joint silver and gold design, which means all you have to do is throw on the piece, and you’ve already mastered the two-tone look. Other baubles, however, feature just one metal but are rife with metal-mixing potential. For instance, a minimalistic piece like Aurate’s golden twisted ring would pair perfectly with a statement piece in silver — say, a pendant necklace or Bagatiba’s sculptural cuff.
