I know it’s crazy how different they can look. I think the yg/rg when worn alone reflect off of each other. I’ve had friends comment they had no idea that my rg and ygs were different metals.
Thanks for all the comments….
I’m still undecided…even considering the WG Cartier, or the new VCA sweet perlee clover bracelet (the smaller one) in white.
Almost everything I own is white gold. Pictures enclosed.

So many beautiful choices!
What a tough decision! I like the new smaller perlee clover, but I also like the cleaner lines of the love. I guess it depends on what aesthetic you're going for. I don't think you can go wrong with either one. Fun dilemna to have! 
I absolutely love the wg sweet Perlee to added to this stack. It really pairs well with Alhambra 5 motifs. I think overall issue with your particular effort to mix metals is this particular Alhambra. I think a rg love with your existing JUC will look wonderful. This Alhambra stone doesn’t really pair well with yg or rg. You would need to in essence build two stacks. One in white metals and add another bracelet in rg or yg to wear with the JUC
Metals are neutrals. I have no issues mixing them and I’m sure my lack of concern seems wrong to some people.
Please don’t apologize! I think it’s great to ask when you don’t know something!
A neutral colour is like a background colour. It isn’t loud, but accentuates the rest of the colors in the foreground. In essence, you are trying to describe a colour that doesn’t compete with other colours. They are visually restful.
Colours like grey, cream, taupe, beige, some browns and blacks are all neutral colours. If you think about walking into an all red room, it would be very jarring and hard on the senses. But walking into a room done in greys and whites is calming because they neutral colours.
Metals are the same. The tones aren’t strong enough to compete and you probably would never notice them unless you were specifically paying attention.
Now, all that said, personal preference is still the biggest thing. Wear what you like and makes you feel good. Anyone who tells you there are rules you have to follow is being very silly.
I wear wg jewelry, no metal mixing. It's been bothering me because some of my bags have yg hw and I prefer a monochromatic jewelry look. So I recently bought a yg vca pendant & Hermes bracelet to see how comfortable I feel wearing that metal with bags with the same hw. My earrings & ring are diamonds. So far I do not feel comfortable with these pieces and consider returning them. Thoughts??
You should probably return the items and stick with the metal you seem to prefer and feel most comfortable in wearing or you will regret it.
I am the opposite of you and only like things that are rose gold or yellow gold and don’t like white gold items.
Correspondingly, I like my handbags with gold accents and not the steel look so I strictly avoid items with that look.
I don’t like to mix metals either. Go with what makes you most comfortable and feels like “you”!
