Yes, you can mix gold and silver jewellery. The easiest way is to repeat each metal at least twice, keep the shapes related and, if you are unsure, start with a duo-tone design that combines both.
Three simple rules for mixing metals
- Repeat each tone. One gold ring among silver looks accidental; two looks chosen.
- Keep shapes or textures related. Fine chains with fine chains, brushed with brushed.
- Choose one focal point. Let one design lead, such as a bold necklace or a statement earring.
Start with a duo-tone design
A duo-tone design is a bridge between the two metals. The LIV duo-tone designs in CALM combine gold and silver in one, so everything you wear around them looks connected. Browse all duo-tone jewellery.
How to mix gold and silver by type
- Necklaces: layer one gold and one silver chain at different lengths. See how to layer necklaces.
- Rings: alternate gold and silver on the same hand, or keep one metal per hand.
- Bracelets: mix a silver bangle with two gold chains. See how to stack bracelets.
- Earrings: gold in the first piercing and silver above, or the other way around.
Match the mix to your outfit
Warm colours such as cream, camel and olive lean towards gold. Cool colours such as grey, navy and black lean towards silver. Mixed metals work with denim, white and black, so they suit most everyday wardrobes.
Mixed metals that last
Our silver tone is the natural colour of the steel, solid to the core and tarnish-free. Our gold is 18K ION plated onto the same 316L steel and resists tarnishing. Both are waterproof, so a mixed stack ages evenly.
