Mixing Metals?

[missie1]

Another dilemma I have is that sometimes I go for an all white gold look (earrings, rings, watch) but because I never take my YG love bracelet off, there's only one yellow gold piece. Is it necessary for me to repeat yellow gold somewhere in my outfit or can it just be the bracelet? I'm also trying to be mindful of not having more than 7 pieces of Jewelry at a time..

Hi,

You can totally rock all white/platinum jewelry and use your gold loves on opposite wrist. I do this all the time. I feel that loves are simply what they are and don’t have to match. I use the loves as pop of color so to speak. Also I will add Hermès CDC shw to arm with loves sometimes

Thanks for affirming cool

I think it looks fine to mix without stacking. I think some people even want to match their jewelry to their bag hardwear, but I don’t think it makes you look more put together or anything. Being all matchy is kind of overrated.

This totally answers my latest dilemma! I’m in the market for a love bracelet. All my jewelry is white but I like the love better in yellow gold. Wearing it on right hand and leaving ss watch on left seems right. I just hope I don’t regret not getting the white.

Don’t get the white. The YG or RG both really pop and gives a nice contrast imo. I have YG regular and small loves and I wear them constantly since I got them.

if you love the Cartier love in YG, then get it. It will act as a pop of color with your other WG jewelry. I don’t think you will regret not getting the wg love, esp. since you don’t love it as much.

I mix metal but don’t stack bracelets, in part bc I prefer larger pieces and I don’t have the sufficient arm length to stack . My different metals have some distance from each other. I usually don’t mix within one piece. Here are yellow gold Verdura belperron corne earrings; white gold grey baroque necklace. White go,d ans diamond ring on one hand. pink gold diamond ring on the other. This is an every day mix. It looks deliberate, bc it is. not haphazard. I will wear either a wg, ss, or yg watch, usually oversized men’s watch. Also YG six motif VCA Alhambra in mixed grey, black, white MOP with wg breguet, wg and pg rings (yg belperron earrings and yg tone buttons. Ss IWC with pg ring, wg ring and earrings with bronze borrocal pendant, Ss pasha C with pg ring.
ITA with @gwendo25, anything goes as long as it makes you happy, and I adore her style and her newest Good Fortune talisman!

As far as I’m concerned mixing or stacking works for me. Anything goes, as long as it makes you happy!!

I love WG and RG and I think they go well together. I haven’t worn YG for a while however I recently purchased this Tiffany pendant in YG and plan to wear it with my WG pieces including my yellow diamond pieces.

Hi All!
If you are wearing a silver-tone watch do you wear gold jewelry at the same time, or would you only wear gold jewelry with a gold watch? I ask because I just got an Omega Seamaster watch but it is stainless steel and white gold. I love it but I worry that it will clash with any gold jewelry I have. It was (for me) an expensive watch so I can't afford to buy another. I'm going to ask to exchange it for one with rose-gold markers, but even then it isn't yellow gold. I want to wear a gold ring on my middle finger of my opposite hand but I fear it will clash with either color variation of the watch. What do you think?
Thanks!

I think watches are sort of thing on their own and it doesn’t really matter when wearing various types and colors of metals.

I think stainless steel is a beautiful classic that looks good with any combination of yellow gold, rose gold, white gold and/or platinum.

Congratulations on your new Omega watch! (I think an Omega may be my next watch purchase) and enjoy wearing it!

P.S. my wedding stack is full platinum or white gold with diamonds and I wear all sorts of mixed metals with it. Doesn’t really bother me. (The 2 rings on my pointer finger are actually rose gold)

Gorgeous! I think your 2-tone watch really pulls together the mixed metals on the rest of your hand. That's actually the very watch I was originally considering until I got swept away by the whole automatic movement thing. The 2-tone Panthere is my dream watch and is my very next big purchase. I have to save up for it though because in addition to my Omega, I also just got myself the Maillon ring in yellow gold, so I need to put the brakes on spending on myself for a bit.

It's actually thoughts of the Maillon on my right hand just not working with the Omega on my left that is giving me pause. If only I had gotten the Omega with the gold hour markers, then it would pull together like yours does. I hope I can exchange it. Fingers crossed! 'Cause I am NOT giving up that Maillon! It isn't here yet, but I love it with all my heart already!

Your photo gives me another thought... If I can't exchange it, I suppose I could always stack the watch with a 2-tone or gold bracelet. That would serve the same purpose in my eyes I think.

Thanks for your input and for the inspiration!

I’m reviving this thread! Please add pictures for inspiration! Any and all mixing metal ideas! There are many examples on the Cartier forum of wrist stacks but it would be great to see more options for necklaces, earrings, etc.

My dilemma is that all of my most beloved and worn pieces are all white. I’d like to start incorporating yellow pieces but don’t know how to start? I am VERY matchy-matchy and trying to break out of that rut. I think a special two-tone piece might be great to bring some yellow in but can’t find anything I like. Eg, Yurman two-tone pieces always have the look where the silver part is oxidized and I don’t like that, and I don’t want tri-gold like the Cartier trinity. Other suggestions?

Check out pomellatos citrine items or tiger eye by Vca for yellow stuff! Or if you want to mix white gold and yellow gold, I’ve found that it looks better when on different hands. Gems like diamonds or pearls are neutral too

I have a ring from Warren Jewelers that uses white and rose gold. Tiffany does a lot of two tone pieces metals; their new lock line comes to mind.

James Banks mixes metals too.

Le Gramme is more aimed towards men, but I love the aesthetic and they have mixed options (as well as custom potential).

I'm also currently eyeing LV's Idylle Blossom line.

Another option is finding pieces you love from smaller brands and seeing if a two-tone option can be custom made for you, like a diamond station piece where the chain is yellow gold and the bezel is white gold.

Also, an easy alternative is to swap out the chain for a pendant, mixing the two. This came with the chain shown, but shows what I'm talking about:

You’ve likely seen my pics… left hand I wear a SS (white) Rolex and my platinum (white) wedding set, right hand white gold pavé Love ring, today my arm has a YG Juc, RG regular Love and a WG small Love.
I wear studs daily set in platinum and usually a yellow gold necklace of some sort. All my occasional jewelry items are in both colors, I mix constantly.

Don’t over think it!

(Pic below has 2 YG, 1 RG & 1 WG)

I switch up the cords, and don't always wear the DY..
