OP - Did you get the Novo? Are there pictures posted?

the tiffany novo is gorgy and that was the other ring that we were deciding on. i suggest you try stacking all 3 bands and see if you like it cuz you might find that doing so takes away from your engagement diamond. just a thought. in any case, how exciting and congratulations!

Update: we decided to purchase a Tiffany & Co. classic three stone round brilliant engagement ring. We chose to go estate since we were able to double the carat weight AND get VVS diamonds for about the same price. Tiffany's is still sizing it. Since my ring finger is three sizes smaller than standard, they have to make a whole new setting for me, because otherwise the sidestones may look weird.

Kissmark,
What did you decide to do? I'm having the same dilemma. I bought the white J12 recently and I have a lot of yellow gold necklaces and earrings. I have tried wearing them together but I end up not loving the look and then I change to one of my other watches with yellow gold. I have never been a big fan of mixing metals..I even am a little OCD about the metal of my handbag matching the metal of my jewelry. I want to maximize the use of my J12 because it was such a pricey purchase...curious to hear what you ended up with.

Sassc,

I ended up not ordering the gold necklace that I wanted. I have another gold necklace and when I wore it w/ the J12 it just didnt look right. I mean it didnt look awful, but I just think it looked better w/ my white gold necklaces. I think some ladies can pull off the look but unfortunately not me!

I even am a little OCD about the metal of my handbag matching the metal of my jewelry.

I'm the same way! I am very aware if the hardware on my handbag or boots, for instance, don't match my necklace (which is white gold). I mean, it doesn't stop me from using whatever I like & have, but I feel as if a white ceramic watch with silver metal is a lot harder to mix because it's so... bold & bright, if you know what I mean. Not your typical white gold or silver bracelet with another gold bracelet, but a watch is definitely a statement piece.

I had an aversion to yellow gold for years. My skin has yellow undertones and I was convinced only white gold or platinum for me. So, my big pieces are both on my left side--my platinum wedding ring and stainless/platinum watch. I also wear a white gold ring on my right hand.

But, I have rediscovered yellow and rose gold. I have a couple of pieces in those tones I now love, but I always feel like I am half and half--left hand white, right hand yellow. So, what do y'all think of that? I'm not going to get another wedding ring, of course. Do y'all just mix them and go, or try to pick one or the other??

I think you can mix metals as long as you have one two-tone piece on. A two-tone piece brings everything together.

I think you can mix if you add one piece to a monogrome look. For example earrings, watch and left hand rings in white. And then add one RG or WG ring or bracelet. Gorgeous! You can also wear a ring AND a bracelet in RG on your righthand without the look getting fuzzy.

 

[Kitsunegrl]

yes

i do it all the time

 

[alessia70]

sure, why not.

for me, it depends on the carat of the gold. I personally don't like the look of white gold pieces with 22ct or 24 ct yellow gold jewelry. But 18 ct yellow gold and white gold looks good.
