Do you lean toward white, gold or mixed colored metal in your jewelry?

i like mixed metal in as much as I can find, especially my watch! My wedding ring set is in white metal and I will wear gold jewelry with it. The really strange thing is when my rings were in yellow gold (in the 80's there was a trend for setting the diamond in a wide gold band) I wasn't happy wearing silver jewelry with it! Strange, I know!

🤕 must have been dropped on my head!

I like two tone if it's not gold coated. My watch is two tone and my wedding ring is gold as is most of my jewelry. And I will wear my gold ring with sterling. Since my watch is two tone, it's all good, for me anyway.

Way back when if you bought a good piece of jewelry, it pretty much had to be yellow gold.  Silver was cute and trendy and very affordable.  

As I got much older, I realized that the white metals looked much better on me.  Whether it be white gold, silver or platinum.  

My wedding bad and engagement are platinum and I have never tired of them.

I really loved mixed metals now.  I love the look of gold and silver together or even tri-color.  Rose gold is lovely!

I also like having a watch that has gold and silver in it.

I have a lot of yellow gold. Wore it everyday. My wedding set is yellow and white gold. It does't fit any more so I don't wear it. Within the past four years I've been getting a lot of silver because it's more affordable for me. So now I wear yellow gold in the winter and silver in the summer. I like the way the silver looks with a tan.

I love mixed metals or mixed colors. I have silver, platinum, white, yellow & rose gold pieces. Which color I wear depends on my mood & what color I'm wearing. Some pieces are white & yellow gold; some are tri-color. Love tri-color gold. Sometimes I plan my outfit around the jewelry I feel like wearing that day. As I tell my granddaughters, bling is good & it's fun being a girl!

AngelPuppy is right--back in the day, yellow gold was king.  I never even looked too seriously at white or rose gold, because they didn't seem like "real" gold to me.  Ah, the folly of youth!  I was such a dummy, for years I thought the white metal watch my father had given me as a graduation present was silver!  When I had it cleaned and the band repaired a few years ago, I found out it was white gold--who knew?  My wedding set is white gold, which looks so much better with the diamonds and the aquamarine (husband's birthstone) center stone.  I can't imagine it in yellow gold.  My daughter's wedding set is in rose gold and it is unique and lovely.  I have been steadily adding to my gold collection with white and rose gold pieces as I've found them.

As to the question of whether or not to mix them--well, I consider my wedding set a constant and it doesn't figure into the jewelry pieces I choose for the day.  In deciding which pieces to wear I don't usually mix colors of metals.  It's all yellow gold or all rose gold and so on.  That's probably a little OCD and too matchy-matchy, but that's me.

More of the same, Ladies! I always preferred yellow gold because I couldn't tell the difference myself between white gold, platinum, and silver.

After receiving some older jewelry in various materials, I started to wise up.

As has been stated, there is a big difference between real tri-color gold, and plated 14k tri-color.

Love my white metals, don't mind a little yellow  gold accents. No vermill,bronze,tone or plated anything.Also jewelry thats substantial,not that flimsy stuff. I love artsian crafted sterling silver, not that high gloss sterling silver.

My engagement/wedding band (27 years) is yellow gold and doesn't fit. Sad but true. I would prefer white gold or platinum. For 5 years I have been shopping for a replacement upgrade with guilt and to no avail. Do I melt down and sell to make it more affordable? Sigh.
