This issue used to plague me. As well as the issue of choosing black accessories vs. brown ... which color would coordinate with more...now I get both, ha! ... I used to agonize about the hardware when choosing a handbag. This year, DH got me a 2-tone pandora bracelet and yurman-esque cable bangle, and I got myself a fossil goldtone aviator watch, so now I don't worry about the metals anymore. My wedding set is white gold, but it looks just fine next to my goldtone watch. My 2 tone bracelet brings it all together. Sometimes I wear a big earring in either color. It usually all looks just fine regardless of my handbag hardware color. One less thing to worry about! The only time I really pay attention to it, is if I'm dressing for business or dinner and I have a huge silver jewelry piece on. If I wear a really large silver statement piece, then I like to have my hardware coordinate. However, in most cases I've set myself free from that dilemma! Along these lines, I was at a business meeting yesterday and one of the women was wearing a rose gold Kors watch with the crystal bezel and it looked just gorgeous with all the mixed metals she was wearing. It was proof that it all goes together!
