How to Mix Gold and Silver Jewelry: Easy Two-Tone Styling Tips
Remember when we thought we had to choose between gold and silver? I’m happy to tell you that rule can stay in the past. Mixing metals is a simple way to make the jewelry you already love work harder for you—and it doesn’t have to be complicated.
Can you wear gold and silver jewelry together?
Absolutely. The trick isn’t matching every piece. It’s creating a little connection between them. A two-tone earring, ring, or bracelet can be that connecting piece, so your gold and silver favorites feel like they belong together.
Five easy ways to mix metals
- Start with one two-tone piece. Let a mixed-metal hoop or ring bridge your gold and silver accessories.
- Repeat each metal at least once. Try a gold necklace, silver bracelet, and two-tone earrings to bring them together.
- Vary the sizes. Pair a bold cuff with one or two delicate bracelets, rather than making every piece compete.
- Layer necklaces at different lengths. A short gold chain and a longer silver pendant can look deliberate when they have breathing room.
- Wear what feels like you. If you love petite jewelry, start small. If you enjoy a statement piece, let it lead.
Two-tone earrings: the easiest place to start
Earrings sit close to your face and can connect the colors in the necklaces, rings, and bracelets you already wear. Here are four styles, from bold to barely-there.

One of my favorite things about jewelry is when it tells a story. The Daphne Necklace combines a warm gold stainless chain with a silver-tone rectangular pendant you can personalize with a name, initials, a meaningful date, or words close to your heart. It’s a lovely way to connect your gold and silver pieces while wearing something that’s uniquely yours.
At an adjustable 17–20 inches, Daphne looks pretty on its own or layered with a longer silver necklace. The little contrast in the pendant does the mixing for you.

Frequently asked questions
Tap a question to reveal Audrey’s styling answer.
Do my necklace and earrings have to match?
No. Try one mixed-metal piece as a bridge, or repeat the same finish somewhere else in your look.
Can I wear a silver wedding ring with gold jewelry?
Of course. Your everyday rings are part of your personal style. A two-tone accessory can help connect them to gold pieces.
What’s the simplest way to try this trend?
Start with petite two-tone hoops or a ring, then wear them with jewelry you already own.
A final thought from Audrey
Jewelry should help you feel put together, not give you one more rule to remember. Gold, silver, or a little of both—wear the pieces that make you smile.
Life is complicated enough—your jewelry doesn’t have to be.
