Would love to see some pics too. I recently received an email from Tiffany regarding their bangles. The model was wearing rose, white, and yellow together. I never would have thought to put all 3 colors together but it looked gorgeous! I really like the mixed look.

I actually think rose gold looks the best with white gold. Yellow and white gold together I am not a fan of. I usually wear my diamond studs, diamond solitare pendant, e ring, tennis bracelet (all set in white gold) and ss cartier tank watch layered with one rose gold Ippolita bangle. I think maybe this is the key? Most of the jewelry should be of one type WG, RG or YG with one or two alternating metal pieces to make it "pop".

I mix quite a bit, have photos on my blackberry and will post once the bb network is up and running again.

Until then, here's a quick description of my left hand/wrist: yellow gold & diamond eternity band, silver cable bracelet with pearl & yellow gold ends, simple silver watch, yellow & white gold cable linked flower bracelet with diamonds, blue leather cord with pearl & silver pendant.

Edit: photo attached. Hope that helps!

I have 4 two tone eternity bangles...2 YG, 2 WG with a matching two tone stack ring. When done right you can mix/match most metals.

I can't believe i'm even asking this, mixing gold and silver used to be my biggest pet peeve! I just bought a gold michael kors watch that i want to wear everyday but i also have a bunch of silver bracelets that i i've had for years and never take off. Now i feel like i have to choose to wear either the gold watch or the silver bracelets. I love both so much and i was thinking maybe i could wear the watch on one hand and the bracelets on the other, or is that really ugly? I honestly can't tell anymore. I don't want to look mis-matchy mixing gold and silver. What do you ladies think? Acceptable or fashion faux pas?

Here's some pics of the pieces i'm talking about

Sky, love this!

I have trouble mixing my metal colors too but would like to start experimenting. I need some pieces to bring the 2 or 3 colors together.

Thank you all. Sometimes I throw a small fourth necklace on. Either short or hits in the middle between the ones I have on. But this is my basic day look.

Do you have a trick for keeping the necklaces from tangling? I wear two necklaces together and I constantly have to "unwind" them from one another!!
