Mixing Metals?

I didn't mix before getting married, but then I inherited some yellow gold jewelry and now I do it all the time. My wedding ring is white gold and so are a lot of my earrings and necklaces, but then DH's mom (and my mom) gave me a lot of yellow gold, so now I wear them both at the same time, without any two-toned pieces.
 
I'm considering a rose gold everyday watch and wonder about wearing it with yellow gold or silver...

Sometimes I feel things will clash more often than complement each other. Is it just either to stick with a yellow gold watch?
 
I wear my rose gold bangles with my yellow gold pieces without giving it another thought. Although, giving it some thought now, I think they complement each other quite nicely.
 
Of course you can- lots of people do, it's a matter of personal preference. I don't mix metals, because I don't like the look of it, but plenty of people mix all the time- it's whatever suits you and your style.
 
Thanks Jordanjordan, I only ended up with yg because DH got the wg love ring & its not aged that well & thought perhaps the yg might be a bit less likely to scratch but perhaps ill have to start a yg collection lol, dont think DH will be very pleased.
 
Plenty of people do. I don't like the look of different metals together.

Well I don't like the look either but since I sold all my yellow gold about 6 months ago I don't know what made me get the love bangle in yg, I did originally get it in wg but got it home & decided it would need re-polishing a lot more than the yg so cartier changed it for me, Im thinking of starting a yg collection for my right hand & stick to wg & platinum for the left.:yahoo:
