18 Mixed Metal Jewelry Pieces You Can Wear With Anything
Wearing silver and gold jewelry at the same time was once considered a fashion faux pas. But according to the runway and street style alike, the tides have turned: Mixed metal jewelry is one of the biggest accessory trends of the year.
Two-tone jewelry is a genius concept, in my humble opinion. The inclusion of multiple metals lets you mix and match with both silver and gold pieces in your existing collection. And while mixed metals aren't exactly a new concept—take a peek inside your grandma's jewelry box for proof—its modern renaissance is a great excuse to layer necklaces, pretty rings, and chunky bangles.
Ready to try out the trend? Many of our editors' favorite jewelry brands are one step ahead of you. Shop everything from watchband rings woven with gold and silver accents to vintage-inspired button earrings sporting multiple metals from Jenny Bird, Baublebar, Mejuri, and more below.
The secret to a curated earscape? Personality. While a mixed metal earring stack could be as simple as alternating between gold and silver hoops, you can also play around with chunky vintage-inspired button earrings or subtle charms. I'm partial to these dome earrings from Bibi + Kim, but you can't go wrong with the best-selling Baby Knot earrings from Heaven Mayhem or this under-$40 pick from Anthropologie.
Rings are one of my favorite ways to play around with personal style, and mixed metal rings even more so. Textured watchband rings (a la this option from NÜR San Francisco) add utilitarian style to your ring stack, while molten-looking gold and silver rings like this pair from Mejuri are the definition of classy.
A curated necklace stack is the best way to elevate an outfit—and a mixed metal moment makes that easier to achieve, since you don't have to choose between silver or gold. Some of our favorite takes on the trend include chunky chain necklaces with interlocking metals, like this option from Machete. If you prefer a simpler stack, try a dainty herringbone chain or a simple pendant.
From charm bracelets to cuffs, there are plenty of ways to decorate yourself in two-tone jewelry. If you're a fan of the chunky bracelet trend like me, try a chain from Artizan Joyeria (and pop on a few charms for personalization). Or keep your stack sleek and simple with this slender bangle from Missoma.
