Mixing Metals?

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?
Mixing metals is really popular now! I love the mix of rose gold with platinum or white gold. I say go for it!
 
I've seen a SS bracelet I like & want to see if it'll look right with my other everyday jewellery.

Would this work?
• RG diamond studs
• RG diamond pendant
• Plat diamond/green diamond rings (my wedding/eternity)
• SS bracelet

Or the same look, but with YG hoop earrings & YG dainty necklace.

I think it will work because of my white metal rings & the fact that it's far enough away from the necklace/ earrings. But I'd like your expert help!

Thank you

BTW this is the bracelet

I think it would be fine. I really like pairing RG with white metals and mux them all the time. To ease my mind, I have a few pieces that have both, so I can mix and match at will.

That's exactly why I'm considering buying the Cartier Trinity XS Ring next year for my 30th - I think it would tie everything together

It definitely helps ease the mind. I see others mixing metals and think, lovely jewelry, but on myself, I worry about clashing. Plus, it's an excuse to get gorgeous pieces like the Trinity ring!

I mix everything. I have sterling silver, yellow rose & white gold, platinum... some have mixed in the actual pcs like white & yellow gold bracelet...
I never really think about it anymore.
I just throw on what I feel like wearing and don't worry if the pieces match each other. I just make sure the
overall look with what I'm wearing looks good.

I think that's what I'm struggling with - making sure MY mixed metal look looks good. I don't usually count my rings as a metal colour per se (I see them more as an extension of me rather than jewellery) so if I'm wearing RG or YG jewellery I'm always mixing. But I want to mix & layer. Be brave enough to wear YG earrings & RG necklace!
