In fact, together they can sometimes look even better than each one apart. I usually don't like wearing gold but when mixed with silver, it's a different story 
Sometimes with bracelets, I mix rose and white gold or white and yellow gold. But usually if I'm wearing, say, gold earrings, I will wear a gold necklace or ring. I usually stick to one color family (excluding the occasional mixed bracelet), even down to the hardware of my handbags.
mixing metals is the best! i do it with jewelry, bags and shoes and jewelry, and even my home decor is a big mix of gold, silver and champagne tones. It's actually very liberating lol.
What about if your wedding set is a certain metal? Do you match your watch and bracelets to them? My rings are white gold but I've been dying for a gold tone Michael Kors watch and I have a bunch of gold tone stack bangle bracelets to wear with the watch. Is that okay? I know I've seen celebrities do it, I think? Maybe Rachel Zoe? Lol, hey if they can, why not us? What do you think?
I like this view. Im like you and mix metals all the time. If I want to wear something I'm going to--I sure as heck am not going to let what metal it is get in the way of my wearing/carrying it!
I was wondering, what are your thoughts on mixing metals?
Next week I'll be visiting Tiffany's to buy the Tiffany Lock's mini heart lock pendent in either rose gold or yellow gold. I would also like a DBTY bracelet in the future to match which ever gold I go with. The thing is, I prefer the way the yellow gold pendent looks online, but I think the DBTY looks better in rose gold as I don't love the way yellow gold and diamonds look when together. This could all change next week, though! I don't have a Tiffany's near me so next week will be the first time I see them in person. So, what are your thoughts? Does yellow gold and rose gold look good when worn at the same time, or should I stick to one gold at a time? And what do you think about yellow gold and diamonds together?

I don't know if I'd mix RG & YG but WG goes great with RG so if you have your heart set on RG then perhaps you could get a bracelet in WG.
Personally I love YG & although I love RG on others it doesn't suit my skin tone as well as YG & WG.

I love that mini heart lock pendant in both golds, wow, it's beautiful! I remember your original thread when you were deciding, great choice! Like designerdiva40 said, I'd mix yg and wg but not yg and rg. The only way I'd mix yg and rg were in a tri-color manner, like a trio of yg/rg/wg worn together in three different bangles that coordinate or a tri-color ring like Cartier makes a double C 6-row tricolor that is insanely pretty. At one point yg and diamonds was not a look I liked at all but now I'm loving it. But yg at that point was just not in style and dated looking, maybe this was early 2000, late 90's, I can't remember exactly but yg wasn't really 'it' at one point. Now yg looks modern and fresh and still classic some how, that's why I think yg looks fantastic with diamonds bec. it's in again. I can't picture yg going out of fashion again like it did for a short time there, if anything I think it will find it's way back and become pretty mainstream in the near future. We might even see a return in e-ring settings in yg in the younger set. There are already rose gold e-ring settings that the very modern and stylish are wearing now ie. Blake Lively.
