For me it's got nothing to do with mixing metals but with mixing styles. The Love is actually a very masculine pipe cut ring that is rather wide, I think about 3mm? Most modern ER styles are more delicate or antique vibe and they just do not mesh well IMO with the love. Also, with the Love being already 3mm thick stacking that with another thick ring or rings is a lot of width on the finger. I know that I have slim but short fingers and I have learned the hard way that 4mm is my limit no matter how many rings are stacked. I would highly suggest you try the Love on with ER styles before you commit. Buy a basic sterling pipe cut band in the same width as the Love and try on to your hearts content. Best of luck!

The ring is gorgeous! Mix away!
It's so lovely that it should be worn everyday!

I sometimes stack rose gold and white gold rings. I think that mixing metals makes the color of each ring stand out more

Iam about to buy a watch for my wife (still have not decided which one but most likely it will be a cartier, rolex or JLC)

My wife has Van Cleef MOP YG 10motif alhambra, 5motif and bracelet which suggests a YG watch, but...

I've seen on the thread about cartier watches a picture of pinkG balloon bleu+PG love bangle stacked. it looked really pretty.

So do you think it will look beautiful if she wore YG/MOP 5motif Alhambra/bracelet on 1 hand and P/Rgold watch/love bangle on the other?

(She already has a YG black strap -Only 5 happy diamonds- chopard watch from before our marriage)

More info:3
*I attached a pic showing her skin tone[she has a dark black hair, if hair colour matters in choosing jewelry -_-]
**I can pay up to 17k $ for the watch.

Thanks!

I think this really depends on personal preference. I really like mixing metals, but didn't use to a few years ago. Can you ask your wife about her preference? That may guide your decision better. Good luck!

I'm eyeing a beautiful rose gold Movado watch that has a tiny Swarovski bezel dot. My engagement and wedding rings (small diamond) are platinum, though. Will the watch clash with the rings, or is the mixing metal faux pas cancelled out by the matching diamonds?
