Mixing Metals?

I like it provided it looks like it was done intentionally and not accidentally, if that makes sense. Stackable rings in white gold/silver and yellow gold, several bracelets in different metals or several chains in mixed metals works for me. But wearing a YG necklace with WG earrings, for example, looks random and doesn't work for me. Overall, though, I've decided I am much more of a YG person, so I don't mix much.
 
I love two tone jewelry to begin with so I think it's great!
Don't think there are any 'rules', just wear what you love!
I wear a two tone ss/yg ring on one hand and my wg promise ring on the other everyday... having a two tone watch helps blend it in as well... but when I wear my white watches it's fine too!
 
I agree with HauteMama, it can look great but it can also look sloppy if it's done without thought - but that really goes for anything doesn't it, not just mixing jewellery!

I have a Cartier tank f. in two-tone so I'm able to mix metals fairly easily. I'm dying to get a yellow gold ring - something classic, probably from Cartier.
 
I sell jewelry and some people are so strict about this. Imo, if the jewels are really close together, like huge earrings and a necklace, then it would be preferable if they were made of the same metal but at the same time, I don't think that a gold bracelet and a silver ring look bad together. I think it's the same as mixing blue and black - some people have this weird thought that it's somewhat forbidden and don't even try to wear them together.
 
i wear white gold and silver a lot or yellow gold and white gold. my rings are white gold and i wear those every day so if i wear a yellow gold necklace or earings that is ok
 
I mix it all the time. My wedding band/engagement rings are platinum, so they are fixed. But earrings and watches I mix up! In the begining it felt weird, but I don't think a thing about it now.
