Can you mix metals ?

Started 1339978515.51 in Fashion Talk | Last reply 1340057910.45 by annabellethecat

I bought neutral wedges with accents in on the shoe with gold and clear crystals. Most of my wonderful jewerly is silver, can I mix silver with the gold accents on shoe ?

Do you mean with an ankle bracelet or regular jewelry like bracelets or earrings? I'd try it and wear whatever you thought looks good with the whole outfit.

I want to wear silver earrings, Carolyn Pollack silver rings and bracelets. I bought these for the size 11. Neutral (nude) shoe with gold accents and crystals that are clear.

The "expert stylists" keep saying there are no rules, so if you like it, and it looks good to you, I say go for it. Matchy matchy can be very boring.

Hope, >^.^<

Yea, the sandals are pretty and size 11 do not come easy in DSW where I got them. If anyone is for a low wedge and cheap, they are New York Transit sandals. Thanks !

Of course you can! I just do not understand why you wouldn't? After all what do people do about their wedding sets? have different sets in different metals???

Yes, mix away. I used to want all my metals to match, but I don't worry about that anymore. It would be especially difficult to keep everything the same with all the metal finishes on belts, handbags, shoes, etc.

I wear white gold & yellow mixed all the time. I also have tricolor hoops.

You can, but I do not.

I always wear a Citizen gold toned and silver watch, so I feel like that pulls together the different tones of jewelry that I wear. {#emotions_dlg.thumbup1}

Try it, and if you're happy with the way it looks, of course you can! I personally usually prefer to match my metals -- but you don't have to every time.

I do all of the time. Usually I'll have on one item (usually a bracelet) that has 2 metals in the design, then I mix them. My daughter, on the other hand says it's like fingernails on a chalkboard to see mixed metals. Hummmmm a bit drastic!
