Mixing Metals?

[kamiisamazing]

forgive me if this has already been discussed, but i am curious to know what all of think about mixing metals. for example: latelt, i have been carrying a black leather bag with silver-toned hardware... would it be awful for me to wear some gold jewelry even though the metal on my bag is silver? also, i have a promise ring from my boyfriend - its a white gold band of diamonds... would it be a no-no to wear a gold ring on my other hand?

what do all of think?

It's Fine,I Wear Gold Plated Rings And Stuff, I Even Wear It With My Miu Miu 2nd Season Bow In Astro That Has Silver Hardware.

I have always mixed gold and silver together. I think it looks edgy...

I do it all the time, it looks fine to me as long as you don't overdo it. I have a silver pearl ring and gold bracelet that I always wear regardless of my outfit. If something is special to you then don't take it off simply so you can match the hardware of your bag...

I mix yellow gold, pink gold, white gold/platinum and pearls all the time. I think it mostly depends on the pieces and whether the style goes well together.

I do it without a second thought!

And I have never given my bag hardware any consideration when it comes to my jewelry.

i never do it but funnily like the look when done right on others

I personally don't mix metals because I'm anal. Even the hardware on my accessories match my bag and other accessories. I've seen others do it and it doesn't look bad.

I absolutely do it and don't give it a second thought. My wedding ring and engagement ring are platinum, but I very often wear yellow gold earring with them. I carry whatever bag I want with whatever the hardware it on it.

I think years ago "social convention" was that you didnt mix metals, didn't wear white after labor day, never went out with bare legs, etc. Lucky for us, I don't see people feeling like they have to follow those "rules" any more.

Do it.......wearing your favorite items together makes it YOU!

I think it really depends on what pieces you're mixing together. 90% of the time, it's fine, but every once in a while, I feel like the whole "look" would be better if the metals matched.

I mix too! My wedding ring is white gold but my fave earrings are yellow gold (not real gold, costume jewlery), but still, I think it looks very modern.

I mix. I think it is modern to mix and match metals. I don't like it when everything is too "matchy matchy"
