STYLING SILVER & GOLD JEWELRY WITHOUT CLASHING ❤
WE HAVE ALL HEARD THE COMMON FASHION MYTH: DON’T MIX YOUR METALS. THE OLD MANDATE THAT IT IS A STRICT NO-NO TO WEAR SILVER & GOLD TOGETHER IS OUTDATED. FASHION IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT & MIXING GOLD & SILVER GIVES YOU THE ABILITY TO PLAY WITH DIFFERENT STYLES & PATTERNS IN YOUR JEWELRY TO CREATE A UNIQUE LOOK. WEARING GOLD & SILVER TOGETHER HELPS SPICE UP YOUR LOOK & ANY EXTRA SPLASH OF COLOR WILL BE ACCENTED BY THE TWO PRECIOUS METALS. WHILE THERE CAN BE A TEMPTATION TO WEAR MORE JEWELRY TO AMPLIFY YOUR UNIQUE STYLE IT IS POSSIBLE TO OVERWHELM THE EYES WHEN COMBINING GOLD & SILVER. THERE ARE A FEW THING TO CONSIDER WHEN MIXING YOUR METALS
MIXING METALS IS NOTHING NEW TO THE JEWELRY WORLD BUT THANKS TO THE RETURN OF EVERYDAY GOLD JEWELRY THE CLASSIC METAL HAS BEEN SEEN ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY ACROSS THE MARKET. OF COURSE IT WASN’T TOO LONG AGO THAT THE SAME COULD BE SAID ABOUT WHITE GOLD OR SILVER. REGARDLESS OF WHEN YOU FIRST STARTED PUTTING TOGETHER A COLLECTION OF PIECES - WHETHER YOU’RE A GOLD OR SILVER TYPE OF PERSON-AT THIS POINT YOU PROBABLY OWN AT LEAST A FEW PIECES IN EACH METAL. SO, WHY NOT WEAR THE TWO TOGETHER?
AT FIRST MENTION OF THE IDEA YOU MIGHT THINK THAT SPORTING BOTH GOLD & SILVER JEWELRY IS SIMPLE - ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS WEAR THEM AT THE SAME TIME. HOWEVER WHEN YOU START EXPERIMENTING WITH YOUR PIECES YOU’LL QUICKLY FIND THAT IT’S A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED THAN YOU INITIALLY THOUGHT. FOR THOSE THAT ARE JUST GETTING COMFORTABLE WITH MIXING METALS OPT TO WEAR DAINTIER PIECES SUCH AS THIS BEAUTIFUL NECKLACE
INSTEAD OF FALLING INTO THE DECISION OF WHICH SHIRT GOES WITH THE SELECTION OF GOLD & SILVER JEWELRY YOU HAVE DECIDED TO WEAR-START WITH THE OUTFIT. SELECTING YOUR CLOTHING CHOICES FIRST ALLOWS YOU TO COMPLEMENT THE TONES IN YOUR OUTFIT THROUGH A MIX OF SILVER & GOLD JEWELRY. YOUR OUTFIT WILL NOT ONLY DETERMINE THE RIGHT TONES BUT CAN ALSO HELP YOU SELECT THE PIECES OF JEWELRY. A HIGH NECKLINE MIGHT KEEP THAT LONG NECKLACE IN THE JEWELRY BOX UNTIL TOMORROW BUT A THREE-QUARTER SLEEVE COULD MEAN IT IS THE PERFECT DAY FOR A BANGLE OR BRACELET
MIX YOUR JEWELRY ACCORDING TO CATEGORIES
WHEN MIXING GOLD & SILVER JEWELRY IT OFTEN HELPS TO FOCUS ON A FEW BODY AREAS. YOUR NECK, WRISTS, & EARS SERVE AS THE PERFECT “ZONES” TO FOCUS IF YOU WANT TO MIX GOLD & SILVER PIECES. WHEN PEOPLE COMBINE GOLD & SILVER WITH POOR RESULTS IT IS USUALLY BECAUSE THERE IS A LACK OF SYMMETRY IN THEIR LOOKS. BY FOCUSING ON A SIMILAR THEME, DESIGN OR SIZE, YOU WILL CREATE A BALANCED LOOK THAT SUCCESSFULLY COMBINES YOUR GOLD & SILVER PIECES
COMBINING GOLD & SILVER JEWELRY ON YOUR NECK ALLOWS YOU TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR LOOK IN A NUMBER OF WAYS. WEARING ONE SPECIFIC PIECE & THEN COMPLEMENTING IT WITH SIMPLE SILVER OR GOLD CHAINS IS A CLASSIC STYLE EMBELLISHMENT. OFFSETTING THE GOLD & SILVER COMBINATION WITH A SIMPLE ROSE GOLD BAR NECKLACE TIES THE LOOK TOGETHER IN SHADES. ADDING A COLORED CHARM TO THE LOOK CAN COMPLEMENT BOTH THE GOLD & SILVER TONES WHILE LAYERING PIECE OF DIFFERENT COLORS CAN CREATE A STATEMENT FOR ANY OUTFIT
WEARING TWO TONES OF JEWELRY ON YOUR WRISTS & FINGERS FOLLOWS MANY OF THE SAME ELEMENTS AS NECKLACES. STARTING WITH A SINGLE PIECE & THEN CHOOSING PIECES THAT COMPLEMENT THE TONES & SHADES OF THE PRIMARY WILL NEVER TURN OUT POORLY. ON OUR WRISTS OFTEN THE BIGGEST STATEMENT IS WITH OUR TIMEPIECE. A SILVER WATCH IS EASILY PAIRED WITH SOME SIMPLE GOLD BRACELETS OR BANGLES. IF THE FACE OF THE WATCH HAS AN INTERESTING COLOR-A MIX OF SMALL GEMSTONES COULD PROVIDE THAT EXTRA LITTLE POP OF COLOR. WITH RINGS, IT IS ALL ABOUT BALANCE. SPREADING OUT YOUR GOLD & SILVER RINGS SO ONE PIECE IS NOT OVERPOWERING THE OTHER IS THE BEST STRATEGY. SIMPLE, DELICATE GOLD RINGS ARE GREAT FOR STACKING & PAIR WELL WITH A MEDIUM-SIZED SILVER RING ON ANOTHER FINGER
WHEN WEARING MULTIPLE PIECES OF JEWELRY IN DIFFERENT TONES OF GOLD & SILVER ON YOUR BODY KEEP IN MIND A FOCUS ON ONE PARTICULAR AREA THAT COMPLIMENTS YOUR OUTFIT. CREATING A STATEMENT STARTS WITH KEEPING ENOUGH SIMPLICITY THAT YOUR PIECES ARE NOTICED. THIS WILL KEEP YOU FROM OVERUSING JEWELRY & AVOIDS CROWDING
ULTIMATELY THE MIX OF GOLD & SILVER JEWELRY IS FUN, ENERGETIC & CREATES A STATEMENT AS INDIVIDUAL & UNIQUE AS YOU. FOLLOWING A FEW SIMPLE GUIDELINES MAINTAINS SOME ORDER & BALANCE TO YOUR LOOK WHILE STILL ALLOWING YOUR PERSONALITY TO SHOW THROUGH BECAUSE MIXING GOLD & SILVER SHOULD BE ALL ABOUT PERSONALITY
SHOPPING FOR JEWELRY CAN BE TRICKY. SURE THERE WILL ALWAYS BE TRENDS THAT COME IN & OUT OF FASHION - SUCH AS THE TYPE OF METAL YOUR PIECES ARE MADE OF BUT WHEN YOU’RE LOOKING TO BRING A NEW ADDITION INTO YOUR JEWELRY BOX-CHANCES ARE YOU’RE INVESTING IN PIECES THAT YOU PLAN TO WEAR FOR YEARS. AS A RESULT YOU’VE ACCUMULATED A TREASURE TROVE OF BAUBLES IN GOLD, SILVER, ROSE GOLD & ANY OTHER TYPE OF METAL. LIKE ANY TREND IN FASHION YOU’RE MORE LIKELY TO SPORT ONE OVER THE OTHER
THE IDEA OF GOLD & SILVER JEWELRY IS SOPHISTICATED, LUXE & COMPLIMENTARY SO WHO KNOWS WHY IT’S BEEN SUCH A FEARFUL THING TO DO
AS ALWAYS UNTIL NEXT TIME
XOXO
