For many years I had the notion that when wearing jewelry the metals and colors should match. Although I still believe that matching metals and colors creates a more streamlined and elegant appearance, I do feel that combining them can be fashionable and adds dimension to one’s appearance. Layering necklaces and bracelets will create a striking effect, especially if worn with black attire. One may consider styling their jewelry in this manner using a proportionate ratio, in order to maintain visual symmetry on the body.

Jewelry that contains gold and silver brings together the world of fine and bridge jewelry in the most accessible way. I highly recommend that you assess your current jewelry collection and try combining different metals and colors together. One thing that I would avoid is combining fine or bridge jewelry with costume jewelry, as the base metals of costume jewelry may contaminate them.

Combining metals can be enjoyable, especially when fabricating a set from jewelry pieces that you already own. This can turn into a fun project that you can do at home. You can turn this into a jewelry party with others who appreciate jewelry as much as you do.
