I mix all the time. In fact, I like the look better all mixed up!

Im the minority here I suppose. I am OCD and cannot mix, with that said I like to wear a lot of two tone pieces then I can mix it all up! I have several Yurman two tones that I love

^^I guess I would be in the minority as well. I can't mix and I don't do two tone. It's just personal preference. I like white gold so that's all I wear.

I try to match the tones of the clothes I'm wearing for the day, but I do mix the colors.

Most of my pieces and my wedding set are in yellow gold, as that works better with my skin tone and is my personal preference. However, I do have a right hand ring in WG, and I feel that different hands are far enough away from one another not to clash. I also occasionally mix necklaces, but it works with some pieces and not with others, so I think a person just has to experiment with what they have. Mixing metals can definitely work, though, so don't be afraid to try it.

Yes I mix it up although I still carefully select the pieces that look good together.

I personally think the matchy matchy look is a bit outdated, works for others, but not for me.

I think you should wear whatever you like, with whatever you like. My fiances mother wears all white rings on one hand and all yellow on the other.

I read an article in Lucky magazine (for whatever it's worth) where it was suggested that the best way to mix metals is in the same pieces, such as white and yellow bracelets together or white and yellow necklaces, etc. to give you the best look.

I wear yellow gold and white gold Love bracelets and my watches are stainless, two-tone and all gold. I say mix it up.

I do this a lot. I think it looks good! Most of my nice watches are stainless steel, and I have some gold necklaces/earrings I love to wear. I usually tie everything in with these thin bangles I had made for me in India (they're a swirl of white gold/yellow gold). I've worn a mix of metals even without those bangles haha... still works IMO. It's modern and fun.

On my right hand I like to wear one yellow & one white gold bangle together. As well as one yellow & one white gold band together on my thumb as a thumb ring. Then I wear a white gold right hand diamond ring and a pinky ring in yellow & white gold. On the left hand, my watch is two-tone and my wedding band is two-tone. Then I feel free to mix up earrings and necklaces with either color depending on the whim of the day.

(Phew! In a word - Yes, mix it up. Just realized I was too wordy. lol!

I like the option of mixing it up - if I didn't, there would be amazing pieces of jewellery I'd never get to wear!!

I have a Cartier Tank F in two tone and that certainly helps bring things together.
