Wearing gold and silver jewellery together, a big no no ???

[Twoonatandem]

Well just that really.
I have lots of pretty silver jewellery, rings, etc (not expensive) which I never wear as I am always wearing my wedding and engagement rings which are gold. I also have a gold eternity ring which I wear on my ring finger on my right hand, so I can't wear all silver on my right hand.
I think the mixture of gold and silver together looks odd, but maybe that's because I'm not used to it.
Sorry, a bit of a 1st world problem I know, but I'm feeling sad that these things never see the light of day.

I do it. When I chose my engagement ring I chose yellow gold because I feel white gold will be very dated in a few years.

I like gold. I also like silver. I wear a silver ring on my right hand and my wedding ring and engagement rings on my left. I quite often wear a silver pendant or bracelets.

I want some gold bangles too.

Carrie from Sex and the City did it! I can too.

Why don't you just wear what you want to wear when you feel like it?

Yes, I have been told to not wear silver and gold together but I do if I want to. I wouldn't stop because 'They' say not to.

My wedding ring is yellow gold, my engagement ring is white gold and mm eternity ring is silver with a yellow gold setting and I wear all three every day. I've got several pieces of jewellery that combine silver and yellow gold so the designers clearly don't think you shouldn't wear them together!

[Mrsemcgregor]

Just be careful if you wear them close as the silver can wear away the gold. (Over many years)

[wetcardboard]

I think if someone wore all gold jewellery and then a single silver item it would look a little odd and jarring. But an equal mix of silver and gold can look very striking.

The advice that one should never mix silver and gold is pretty dated I think, along with the the stipulation that one should never mix navy and black, or brown and black and blah blah, endless style rules. If it works, it works.

[GrumpyOldBag]

I mix all the time.

Not an issue.

[AgathaF]

I wear them together. Gold wedding, engagement and eternity rings, silver bracelet and watch. I have never understood why people say not to. It's no different to wearing different coloured clothes, or having more than one colour furnishing a room in my opinion.

If you don't like the mixed look then buy a silver band to wear as an alternative wedding ring on days you want to wear silver.

[LoupGarou]

I think they look lovely together, I have this photo pinned on Pinterest of mixed metals...

[TondelayaDellaVentamiglia]

I do....have silver and gold bangles, one is silver with gold beads on it.

my engagement ring has a 18ct gold band, but is an opal, with diamonds in white metal ...no idea what, as it is antique...so that looks lighter iyswim

I wear whatever earrings I fancy, but most are silver, and am not really a necklace type person

I say "meh" to them! :o

My wedding and engagement rings are white gold and never come off, but i also 'live' in a long yellow gold chain which DH bought me when we got together. All 3 are very precious to me and i don't take them off.

Just thought i also always wear 2 solid silver bangles on one arm (another DH present) and a silver/pink pandora bracelet which DD3 is building for me on the other.

Plus various earings.

It sounds as if i look like a bloody xmas tree - but it's all quite understated

Wear what you want. No one is the boss of you.

[TheRealPooTroll]

My wedding ring is a mix of white and yellow gold and I also have a few mixed metal necklaces (expensive one offs) so clash away I say!

[Crowdblundering]

I really really hate seeing this but it's a personal choice.

[EmmaWoodlouse]

I don't like yellow gold on me at all and only ever wear silver, but I think silver and gold stacking rings can look good together if it's obviously done deliberately - so roughly equal numbers of each, and if possible with one or two items that combine both colours.

[SlatternIsTrying]

My wedding and engagement rings are platinum so I can wear silver. But I also like my gold jewellery so on those days all my jewellery is gold except my rings and I don't wear any gold jewellery on the same hand as them.

In other words I don't mix and match, it's either silver or gold, but my platinum rings are exempt (in my head) from this rule.

[Astoria7974]

depends on the silver - if it's going black or looks cheap compared to your other stuff then don't wear it. You can wear white gold and yellow gold together - I have plenty of watches and jewellry that mixes, and it looks really nice.

[showmeislands]

Personally I really dislike yellow gold and never wear it, only silver and white gold. So wearing silver and yellow gold together isn't something I would do myself anyway, but have to admit I don't think it looks good in general.

[crazywriter]

I'm not a yellow gold fan personally.

But that doesn't mean YWBU to wear both. My husband's wedding ring is silver with a rim of yellow gold either side. I've seen a lot of rings like that in recent years.

As for the white gold being dated comment. I've worn a white gold ring for almost 15 years. It looks like silver at a glance so can't see how it would look dated.

That being said my 4 main rings (wedding, engagement, and 2 from grandparents from special birthdays) live on a chain around my neck until I lose weight and get rid of my fat fingers.

[BlondeBecky1983]

The Queen mixes so I don't see why anyone else can't! She has a platinum engagement ring and yellow gold wedding band.

[kel1493]

I do. Most of my jewellery is yellow gold. But my dh got me a few silver bits as well, that I also wear. In fact, I wear a silver pendant on a yellow gold chain, alongside a gold pendant.

[shitgibbon]

I wear gold with silver every day.

[Pollypudding]

Wear anything you like and stop worrying about people judging you.

[Foggymist]

White gold will be dated in a few years? Oh dear, my 50 year old family heirloom white gold engagement and wedding rings will have to be tossed aside to stay on trend!

[isupposeitsverynice]

My wedding ring and metal detail on watch are rose gold (another one that I keep seeing people say will date, but I massively fail to give a fuck). All my other "jewellery" is silver. No one has said i look weird.
