Default Mixing and matching
I know for some people wearing yellow gold and silver/white gold is a no no but what do you think about this????

What do you think about my silver Hermes Clic Clac and my yellow gold diamond bracelet being worn together?

My wedding ring is platinum. On my other wrist I wear my tiffany's silver bracelet.

I'm sorry but forget the bracelets.. and look at that GORGEOUS PEAR!! :P

To be honest, I love both bracelets and I love mixing and matching BUT I'd be so scared to scratch the bracelets.. :)

I'm having a rough time answering the poll...I don't think it looks tacky at all, but I wouldn't wear them together because of the scratching. What about the clic clac and the Tiffany bracelet together?

Only problem about wearing it with the Tiffany's bracelet is it is the one with the dangling return to Tiffany charm. I think that would scratch it more then the diamond bracelet.

^^ Yeah, that's true. Maybe alternate between wearing the Tiffany and H?

I mix metals all the time, my wedding set is platinum, however, I agree with the others, the clic clac scratches. I tend to wear it on my other wrist with my watch, it will scratch gold or silver.

I don't think mixing your metals is impossible, it's always a question of how the individual pieces actually look. I wear a cartier two tone tank f. with a white gold diamond ring, white gold bracelet on the other wrist and cartier baby trinity knot diamond earrings - so that's a pretty good mix. It all works though.

I would worry a little about your beautiful H getting scratched.

you know, if you were talking about white gold and yellow gold (or platinum), i would say it doesn't matter nowadays. it seems mixing and matching isn't a no-no anymore. however, the complete difference of your beautiful yellow gold bracelet with diamonds with your (i don't know—clic clac?) white/silver bracelet just doesn't seem like it goes.

excuse my ignorance, but i know nothing about your hermés bracelet so don't know if it's real gold or not, but i just don't think it looks right together—regardless of metals.

ot—i find the way you wear your pear with the point towards your heart—and not the other way around, which is how i wear my pear—very unique. i have never seen it that way. it looks cool.

i recently inquired about this and i guess there's no "rule," per se, on which direction to wear it.

I am all for mixing, but I don't like the style of the H bracelet with the diamond bracelet. I think the diamond bracelet alone with the platinum ring would be stunning, though.

^^^^That's kind of how I feel. They are both beautiful, but wearing them together takes away from the classic look of each being worn separately.

I agree. I think the Hermes clic-clac should be worn alone. I don't like to mix gold with silver but I do when it comes to my LV Inclusion bracelets. All of my jewelry is silver-toned: wedding rings are platinum, watch is silver colored, silver necklaces, and platinum/diamond earrings. But, I will wear my inclusion bracelets that have the gold inclusions because I love these bracelets. I wish LV made more silver inclusion bracelets than gold inclusions.

I love your white clic-clac!!! Keep it simple and just wear it alone!

I think they look very nice all together, but I would also worry about scratching like ahertz says.

I am not usually into mixing metals, but I actually think this looks really good! I also wear all yellow gold or all silver, but sometimes I think I look too "matchy-matchy". I don't know what I'm going to do when I get engaged because I wanted plantinum, but a lot of my jewelry is yellow gold.
