Mixing Metals?

I just got a YG LOVE bracelet and tried it on with my SS Rolex. I don't think it looks bad. What do you think?

OMG it looks stunning, I love it, I just wish I could wear my watch on the right hand but I wear it on the left & I think the crown would scratch the love bracelet, I have got the same bracelet only had it for 3 weeks & love it, I have been wearing it with silver bracelets but I am worried it will get scratched which I'm sure it will do, love your watch it looks good on your wrist.:yahoo:

Actually, I don't wear my watch on my right wrist. I just thought I'd show you how it would look if I decide to mix YG and SS, but you can always wear the LOVE bracelet above the watch on your left so it will not have contact with the crown of your watch. Another PF member posted a photo wearing it that way and it looked great. I know what you mean about being afraid of scratching the bracelet. I check it every few hours for scratches and unfortunately I've already found my first scratch after only 2 days, but I think the point of it is to be proud of every scratch, kind of like the wrinkles on ones face through the years. Be proud you've earned the wrinkles and in this case, the scratches on the bracelet. :D
 
I mix metals. Mostly the error is in mixing styles. If you're wearing delicate filagree rings and bold watch and bracelet, sometimes that can look out of balance, OTOH, some people can make that really work...congrats on your new bracelet!
 
I've seen it done and think it can work for some...but I can't do it. Way too OCD. I even have to match all hardware (handbag accents, shoes buckles, belts, sunglasses frames, etc.). It's pretty bad but I feel I just don't, uh,...FLOW with mismatched metals.
 
I am a creature of habit, apparently, and usually wear the same jewelry every day: my silver "ohm" ring and my RTT heart tag bracelet that my DBF bought me. I've worn my ring all day every day for 8 years now, I only take it off to shower/put on lotion.

I've recently started liking gold, and I don't know how to go about mixing it up - can I really do that? I'm a girl who can't wear navy blue and brown or navy blue and black together. Or black and brown. Anyway.

My little sister tells me I'm outdated. She actually likes mixing up her colors, oh horror of horrors, and often wears black and brown together!

I would looove to get a DBTY pendant in gold, but would it look silly if I am wearing my ss ring and bracelet with it? Will it look like I just threw on a mish-mash of accessories? I've also been thinking about buying a rose-gold watch... can I wear rose gold with silver? With gold? I can't wear all three though, right?
 
mixing metals is VERY in right now. with something as delicate as a DBTY pendant, its fine to go for yellow gold, and i LOVE the look of rose gold and silver/white gold, they work well together
 
I asked a similar question a few months ago on here, I had sold all my yg about a year ago as it was a bit outdated but three months ago I went to London to buy the Cartier love bangle in Wg but ended up getting it in yg, I had all SS, platinum & Wg, I have ended up adding to my yg collection & now own a yg Chopard ring & necklace, a Tiffany yg key & chain, a Couple of pairs of yg earings & a yg Roberto coin necklace so as you can see I have got the yg bug. I do mix my metals as all my watches are SS & I have got some really nice silver & Wg pieces but I do feel a bit strange because I like things to match.

When were you born? I think you might be my TWIN!!!

Seriously! I only wear white metals..then a few weeks ago I fell in love with a yellow gold DBTY. Tiffany's yellow gold is so pretty. Shortly after that I decided I just HAD to have a rose gold Michael Kors watch.

In the end though I bought a white gold DBTY from Brian Gavin Diamonds and a Stainless steel Tissot watch. The thing is I LOOOOVE the yellow gold and rose gold and I think I *might* be willing to try and pull off wearing all three, but I wasn't 100% positive. Sure I might not initially be thrilled with the idea of getting another SS watch and another white gold necklace, but I know I'll never regret it. I had a feeling there was a chance I would regret a YG or RG purchase at some point. A few years ago I might not have cared but these days I want high quality pieces I know I'll wear forever.

I did ask my husband for a rose gold charm from tiffany's. It'll layer really well with the white gold DBTY and we'll see how it goes :-)
 
Sounds like there are a lot of "us" :). I have always been a white gold/platinum girl and then I saw a DBTY style necklace (but from a different designer) in YG and fell in love....have now bought three YG pieces in the last month :graucho:.

I do have a pair of fabulous white/gold mixed earrings, that somehow make me like "mixing" better...bc I think that they help tie it all together. So maybe if you get one piece that has both you might like it even better.

I think yg seems to be making a big come back, all the jewellers that ive been into have said its coming back in fashion, perhaps in some countrys its never gone out of fashion but her in the UK white gold & SS seemed to be the more popular choice, I still love wg, platinum & SS but after buying a few yg pieces Im warming to it more & more & I have lots of yg pieces on my wishlist.:yahoo::graucho:
 
Although I usually wear WG and platinum I mix it with YG and SS a lot. I don't like RG at all, I avoid it and was never caught in the hype. It looks like brass and does nothing for my skin coloring.
