Mix and Match
Jewelry is an essential component of fashion that can enhance any outfit and provide the finishing touch of elegance. However, one of the biggest myths in fashion is that you have to stick to one metal when wearing jewelry and accessories. The truth is that mixing metals can add dimension and depth to your outfit, creating an eye-catching and unique look. Learn how to mix your jewelry metals and rock this trend like a pro.

Choose a Dominant Metal 
When mixing metals, it's essential to pick a dominant metal that will match the majority of your outfit. This metal will provide an anchor point for your other jewelry pieces and accessories. For example, if you're wearing a gold watch, you could pair it with silver earrings and bracelets. However, ensure that the dominant metal undertones are consistent throughout your outfit.

Experiment and Find Complimentary Metals 
Once you have your primary metal, it's time to experiment with different complementary metals. Some of the most popular combinations are silver, gold, rose gold and platinum. Usually, pairing two or three metals can create a cohesive look. For instance, you could pair your gold necklace with a silver bracelet and a rose gold watch. Be sure to use jewelry pieces that blend well so that the metals don't clash and the outfit looks uniform.

Gradual Mixing 
If you're not ready to jump right into mixing metals, try mixing metals in small increments. This way, you can gradually get accustomed to the style and put together an outfit without looking too busy. For a unique and chic look, try blending different textures of the same metal. Try mixing and matching matte and shiny gold jewelry.

DIY Tips 
If you're on a tight budget, you can create your own DIY jewelry by combining parts of different metal jewelry pieces! You can create a unique look by breaking down an old piece of gold jewelry and adding it to a silver chain.
