Just like the clothes that fill your dresser, jewelry comes in a wide range of colors. To truly perfect your outfits, it’s important to mix and match these metallic pieces just like you do with your garments. If you’re wondering how to pull off wearing more than one type of metal at once, try on the tips below.

Common Metals Used in Jewelry

While there are many metals with similar hues—such as platinum and white gold—there are roughly three main hues used in modern jewelry. Therefore, it can be hard to choose between the silver, gold, and rose gold options in your closet.

Silver, platinum, and white gold pair well with cool and bright, modern tones, from hot pink to steel blue. Yellow gold is more of a traditional, old-world look and pairs well with warm jewel tones like deep red or emerald green. Rose gold has the boldest color profile of them all—somewhere between gold, peach, and light pink. It pairs best with more subtle hues, like pastels, or black and white. 

How to Match Several Types

Since all these jewelry metals have their own personalities, it can be challenging to mix and match various pieces at once. To avoid an over-stimulating ensemble, focus on one area of the body at once. For example, if you’re sporting a white-toned wedding or engagement ring, you may want to complement it with a white/silver bracelet. Save the gold jewelry for another zone, such as a necklace or earrings. These regions are far enough away from each other that the combination of metals won’t look forced. 

Or, try unifying your jewelry choices around a single gemstone. For example, if you have a blue topaz ring in a gold setting, and a platinum bracelet with a blue topaz embellishment, these pieces will pair effortlessly. 

If your heart is set on wearing multiple pieces with different toned metals at once, invest in a piece that incorporates all the metal hues into one. For example, a single bracelet with both silver and gold links will form the perfect connection between that platinum ring and yellow gold necklace.
