Today I decided to mix my J Ripka with Kenneth Johnson, and they actually look great together. JR grey pearl necklace with the KJ Oklahoma enhancer, the KJ turtle ring on one hand along with the new JR blue monaco watch and the more recent (thinner) JR country link bracet in silver. Other hand - the rose quartz JR ring with the pink DMQ and a very old pair of JR earrings with tiny hoops and a pink DMQ charm/dangle.

I'm glad I decided to mix such different designers today. Somehow the combo works!

Anyone else doing unexpected mixing of designers?

Hi mskringle, I mix my CP and AW with Or Paz or Hagit Gorali all the time. Works well for me, too.

I have been doing that for some time now. Most of my Judith Ripka is older and not so blingy, so it mixes nicely.

Haca - I could see mixing CP and AW with Or Paz, but I wouldn't have thought of combining it with Hagit. I may have to try that. Thanks for the idea.

Favorite Son - Much of my Ripka is older too. I've also combined it with Bixby. It took me a while, but I finally figured out that I prefer the JR that isn't too blingy for every day.

I wouldn't have thought to mix Kenneth Johnson with Ripka.

I do mix some designers ... Bixby and Dawkins play well together ... Hagit Gorali and RLM play well together ...

mskringle - I can see it with my minds eye. Looking good

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.
