Do you mix metals?

So, no. Mixed metals are going strong according to VCA, Carrier, Graff. What is out and has been forever is silver.

When I mix black and navy on purpose I get a rush. Same with metals … it’s like purposeful for those who can tell, but those who are uptight will think I’m a mess. Wild times

Seems my account of what looks good on me has weirdly struck a nerve with you. Platinum (and silver) is a classic that will never be out of style.

My rings are mixed. My wedding ring is platinum and other rings are gold. I keep the mixed rings on at all times but I generally go all in on one metal for the rest, sometimes gold and sometimes silver

Good god, no!

It’s a very dated, ugly 80s look.

I mean to be fair, you said mixing metals looks terrible on you but it sounds more like gold looks terrible on you so you don't mix metals as a result. Silver doesn't look great on me so I keep to gold necklaces and earrings and will mix in a mixed metal bracelet now and again.

Idk what that poster is talking about silver being out. Maybe she means sterling silver as opposed to cool-toned metals like white gold and platinum. I have to agree sterling silver jewelry is such a pain to take care of. I swear you wear it once and it's tarnished forever.

PP here - true, sterling is a pain to take care of! But I love my sterling pieces. Platinum is my favorite though. Clean and cool-toned.

Hideous. So discordant and completely dated.

I have two watches (which I haven't worn in years but loved back in the day) and the two tone was more casual looking, with the solid gold was definitely dressier looking. I mostly wear gold metal bc it looks better on my skin tone.

All the time. I also have a cartier panthere two toned. The style and proportions, especially when stacking, are crucial, the colors not so much. But, in general, it's for the younger and edgier crowd.

It's an awful look. Reminds me of a door prize one might get at the office party in the 80s.

I keep trying to do so but just can't. It bothers me. But I look bad in any yellow gold anyway.

Of course. Why wouldn't you?
