Mixing Metals: A Guide To Combining Gold And Silver Bridal Jewelry For Your Wedding Day

Your wedding day is all about expressing your unique style, and nothing says modern elegance like mixing things up when it comes to bridal jewelry. Gone are the days of feeling like you need to choose between gold and silver tones. Why not choose both? Mixing metal jewelry is the perfect way to add a fresh, effortless twist to your wedding style. Here’s some guidance on how to incorporate various metals and styles ranging from gold heirloom jewelry to rose gold modern pieces.

Embracing Mixed Metal Jewelry For Your Wedding Day

Mixing metals is a fashion-forward way to make your bridal jewelry stand out. Whether you're combining yellow gold and silver engagement and wedding rings or layering necklaces in varying tones to complement your dress, this trend gives you endless possibilities to personalize your look.

Is It OK To Mix Metals in Jewelry?

Mixing yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, platinum, or sterling silver into your bridal jewelry creates a visually stunning contrast for a more personalized look. Whether you're wearing a platinum engagement ring and yellow gold wedding ring or a gold necklace and silver bracelets, mixing metals allows you to incorporate heirloom pieces — and maybe even your “something old” or “something blue” — into a more modern jewelry ensemble, adding sentimental value.

How To Pick Bridal Jewelry To Complement Your Dress

When it comes to picking wedding jewelry, the key is to match your jewelry with the style of your dress. If you need jewelry to wear with a strapless wedding dress with simple beading, for instance, go for a bold pendant necklace or statement earrings that draw attention to your neckline. If you want jewelry for a V-neck wedding dress, opt for a delicate mixed metal pendant, or layer necklaces in both varying metal shades. Mixed metal earrings or bracelets can add the perfect finishing touch.

Mixed-Metal Rings For Your Big Day

Seeking a balance between heirloom and modern styles? Mixed-metal rings add depth and contrast to your hand.

• Choose a white gold engagement ring paired with a gold wedding ring, with diamonds along both bands.
• Customize your pieces, creating personalized rose gold and silver engagement and wedding rings for a one-of-a-kind aesthetic.
• Balance an heirloom gold wedding band with the contemporary glamour of a rose gold engagement ring.
• Incorporate a white gold sapphire wedding band with an emerald cut solitaire yellow gold ring for visual contrast.

It’s your big day, and you should celebrate it by wearing bridal jewelry that makes you feel comfortable. Mixing metals is the perfect way to express your personality and make your bridal look stand out. Find your perfect mix of gold and silver by exploring wedding day pieces at Helzberg!
