Mixing Metals?

I personally buy individual pieces for their beauty, not necessarily for the type of metal. Although I prefer white gold, platinum, silver..I have fallen in love with yellow gold pieces which I wear on their own.

My wedding set is platinum & I mix it with WG & YG bracelets, all becos I have been wanting to get a flap with GHW & wanted something to match so I recently been wearing mixed metals though my DH is not a fan of mixing. To me, WG & platinum looks about the same.

If plain, I prefer YG actually but with diamonds, I prefer WG or platinum ;)
 
I buy jewelry by its own beauty not to match with other pieces. I have WG, YG and RG pieces but wearing only 2 metals at the same time. I prefer to match metals for earrings and necklace, rings and bracelet.

I really love the mixing of the bracelets. I can usually feel okay about mixing bracelets or rings but I can't even imagine mixing earrings and a necklace. I need to start experimenting so I can find a way I feel comfortable!
 
I can't mix metals, I just can't! My watches are 2 tone but the rest of the jewelry I wear is either all WG or all YG. I match my jewelry to the outfit and hardware of the bag and shoes that I'm wearing!!! :shocked: :shame:

I have been purposely choosing earrings/necklaces that are mixed metal for this reason. Then I can mix and match with no consequence. :).

A couple of months ago I got a necklace with a few simple charms. Silver charms, gold chain. Now I can pair any earrings. :)
 
For my 25th anniversary I chose 2 bands, one yellow gold and one in white gold and stacked them. Will post a pic later as they are being sized right now. They look really nice together!
 
I have gone through phases of wearing all yellow gold; all platinum or silver cast things, etc. These days I mix since my fave watch (a vintage Hamilton) is stainless and 14k.
