Dare to Mix it Up! Rocking the Gold + Silver Style Trend
At Elizabeth Allardyce, we’ve always embraced the art of blending tradition with a fresh, modern edge. One of the most exciting trends in jewellery is mixing gold and silver tones to create looks that are bold, versatile, and effortlessly chic. Gone are the days when fashion dictated that you stick to just one metal. Today, it's all about breaking the style "rules" and combining your favourite pieces to create your own personal style.
Mixing Silver and Gold: How to Get it Right
Mixing silver and gold jewellery can seem intimidating, but with a few style tips, you’ll find it’s easier than ever to create a balanced, elegant look. Here’s how to start:
- Pick a Focal Piece: Start with a statement piece that incorporates both silver and gold tones. Look for designs that naturally combine these metals, like those in our collection, for an easy and cohesive base.
- Layer Thoughtfully: When layering necklaces, rings, or bracelets, mix up your metals but keep the look balanced. For example, pair delicate gold chains with chunkier silver pendants or stack gold rings alongside silver ones.
- Blend with Confidence: Choose pieces that have both metals within their design. Items that combine white and yellow gold, or white and rose gold, offer the perfect foundation for mixing without clashing.
- Mix Textures and Shapes: Don’t just stop at mixing metals—have fun with textures and shapes as well. Smooth silver rings look stunning alongside more intricate gold pieces, adding depth and interest to your style.
Our Handcrafted Mixed-Tone Jewellery
We have a selection of handcrafted jewellery that embodies the spirit of mixing and matching, with timeless pieces featuring a blend of gold tones. Here are some of our favourites from the collection that make mixing metals effortless and beautiful...
Bee Stacker Ring with White Diamonds
A true masterpiece in mixed metals, our Bee Stacker Ring is available in white gold with rose gold or white gold with yellow gold. The sweet little bee, adorned with white diamonds, sits slightly off-set to give the impression of hovering above the stacker rings. It's playful yet refined, especially when paired with our Queen Signet and Fine Collar Stackers on either side.
This combination creates a dynamic, layered look that’s full of charm and personality—perfect for those who love to mix things up.
For those who love jewellery with a touch of drama, our Skull Cluster Earrings are a striking choice. Available in white gold, yellow gold, or rose gold, these earrings feature a white gold skull at the centre, surrounded by vibrant gemstones—amethysts, citrines, rubies, and yellow sapphires. The rich colour palette plays against the sleek, hand-carved skull for a look that is both opulent and edgy.
The contrast of light and dark, combined with the mix of metals, gives these earrings a unique, Tudor-inspired vibe, perfect for those who love bold, dramatic jewellery with a story to tell.
Be Brave: Embrace the Trend
If you’re new to mixing gold and silver, our advice is simple—be brave! Jewellery is a form of self-expression, and there’s no better way to showcase your individuality than by breaking the style "rules". Mixing your metals, whether it’s layering gold and silver rings or combining mixed-tone earrings, is the perfect way to elevate your style.
