Honestly, I think the only time the different metal colors would be obvious is when you're wearing a let's say YG necklace and a WG bracelet.
For any other combo like earring, necklace, and ring.. it wouldn't be obvious.
Regarding the trinity ring, I have it in the thinnest size. The white gold band completely blends in. I don't think it brings any of the metals together. A thicker trinity ring may work better, but the thin one, nope.

I say mix away! I usually wear an "anchor " piece that contains all the metals I'm mixing. It's generally one of my two tone Michele watches in stainless and rose gold or stainless and yellow gold. My wedding set is platinum and I love mixing in rose gold or yellow gold. Have fun playing with combinations!

That's interesting about the Trinity ring. It's a shame I currently don't wear watches often as it seems many people use that to tie in mixed metal looks

I mix my metals. I mix yellow gold with white gold & silver. I don't have a lot of rose gold yet but I do mix in the few pieces I do have from time to time....mostly with my white metals. I've been looking at watches & really like the Cartier Ballon Bleu & the Cartier Imperial in stainless steel & rose gold. I have a few pieces that are two toned in yellow & white gold so they integrate well with either color gold.

I want to buy more quality jewelry in YG or RG. Most of my jewelry is silver or WG. I love my jewelry and want to wear it as often I can. But it is very sad when I don't wear my jewelry in YG or RG.

Do you think I can wear some silver pieces together with Gold? I think YG and RG can look very good together. Or WG and RG.

Do you wear silver and Gold together?

Of course you can! I do. Some people prefer to be match-matchy and that is fine, too, but mixing, hey it's fun and fine (IMO)!

I’m very matchy matchy, so when I mix metals, I do it intentionally. Like a gold chain with a silver charm, a silver bracelet + a gold bracelet, and stud earrings paired off in my 4 earlobe piercings: a gold pair and a silver pair.

hi all, I know variations of this have been posted over the years but to bring this up to date - how do you deal with mixing metals?

Or do you avoid mixing metals entirely?

Do you have a strategy / rules you follow?

When I wear my white gold/stainless steel rolex, i am partial to wearing all my white pieces on my left hand with my stainless Rolex, and keep my yellow and rose gold pieces on my right hand. Will post a pic I love on insta that shows this when I find it.

However, when I wear my two tone watch I mix all my pieces together because I feel the two tone watch ties it together.

Would love to see and hear your variations or if any of you spend as much of your time analyzing this as I do

I mix metals everyday. I do wear a two tone watch mostly every day tho.

My necklaces are gold. My stack rings are a mix of gold and platinum. My watch is two tone as stated above and one of my bracelets is gold while the other is silver with gold tips. My hoops are either gold or silver depending on my mood and rest of my outfit.

I LOVVVVE mixing metals. Gold and silver usually. I don't have much rose gold jewelry. I am obsessed with my G/S two tone watch and it unifies them all. You are right guuuurl

I love mixing metals and I think it looks great - and it's far less exhausting than trying to avoid it. I used to dodge yellow/rose gold like the plague and I finally realized what's the point once you factor in buttons/zippers on clothes, shoes and bags :P
