Should you match the jewellery you wear to the hardware on your purse?

I personally think it looks better.

Any opinions?
I tend to match my hardware to my jewelry.

I generally wear gold jewelry and find myself buying bags with gold hardware. I just like the way it looks.

However, I do have some bags with silver hardware and I've worn gold accessories with it.

I guess it all depends...
 
I prefer gold hardware on bags so I tend to go for that, and as a result of that I try to match my jewellery to it. I think it looks a little off if my jewellery and hardware don't match although I never notice on other people so it might be a personal thing
 
Gold. I never try to match jewelry. I prefer the look of the golden hardware. There are some bags where the silver looks stunning but it is rare for me. I have all gold hardware on mine. I also love the rose gold look too.
 
All silver all the way! I only wear silver, white gold, platinum jewelry and all my hardware matches. And it is much harder to find - I wish all handbags came with hardware options.
 
My bags are a mix. I think bags in either gold or silver hardware are nice and sometimes it depends on my outfit or the occasion as to which color hardware I want my bag to have. I don't like to be matchy matchy so my jewelry doesn't have to match the hardware on my bag.
 
Definitely gold. Light gold hardware in particular. I dress casually most of the time, so I like to have dressier looking bags. They work well in both casual and formal settings. I think gold hardware also makes a bag look more sophisticated and elegant.
 
Depends on the colour of the bag. I don't match the hardware to my jewelry, especially since I always have rose and while gold and platinum jewelry on all the time.
Mostly gold, but it definitely and primarily depends on the color and style of the bag.

I'd love to see more designers do mixed metals. My gold-and-silver watch goes with anything--would love my bag to be the same.
