Did you know that Paladium is the most precious metal in the world? That is what Hermes uses on some hardware for their bags... Since you only own the best.
I have been blessed to have a DH that bought me a plat. wedding set but before then I wore all gold.
Did you ladies that had this same issue still wear your gold jewelry or did you switch all over or do you mix and match?

I've been wearing gold jewelry lately (gold hoop earrings, gold tiffany necklace). And I've been looking to get a watch....my question is...does it look weird to wear gold jewelry and wear a silver (stainless steel) watch?
Truly think it is a matter of personal opinon/likes/dislikes. All the fashion magazines say it is fine to mix. However, I think you might need to mix more than all gold jewelry with just a stainless steel watch. Might want to mix it up a bit more than that or stick to either yellow or white. Again, all a matter of personal taste. I prefer one metal color - but am older so old habits die hard, haha.
No. If the watch itself goes with the other bling, the fact that one is gold and one is silver, or either of them are copper, does not matter.
This has been a comically neurotic journey for me, and it is thanks to people here that I am steadily making it, walking the walk of the previous paragraph, and mixing my metals unreservedly and joyously, throwing off the absurdity of hidebound chains of yestersomething, I guess, and going bravely and glitteringly forward - if the bling looks good together, and looks good with the outfit, then it does not matter which metal or metals are used, nor whether any of it is the same as the color of your bag hardware.
We are here to adorn ourselves, not match metal colors!

Well said! I remember a time where there was a `rule` I think???? You know, way back when there was only one shoe toe in fashion every season, and when you did not mix navy and black etc! LOL But these days its anything goes. Todays fashion is more about the total look, not whether each piece is meant to be worn together. Its very flexible imo.
Im a white gold/ silver girl myself, but I do find myself eyeing up the gold jewellery every now and again!
Hey everyone, I am dying for a cartier love bracelet, but my engagement ring is platinum and in general I am not a fan of yellow gold. I love platinum, but the platinum version is $8925 according to cartier. The yellow gold is $3600. I do not want diamonds. I also don't like white gold, especially because it has to be replated and this bracelet is not supposed to come off.
My question is- would the yellow gold bracelet clash horribly with all of my silver colored jewelry? I would not want other yellow gold pieces, I just don't think they look as good on me. I would of course prefer platinum, I love it even when it gets that patina most people hate, but wow an extra $5000 is more than I can afford. What do people think- can I mix metals?
