Mixing Metals Made Easy: Your Guide to a Chic Look

Here at Under Her Eyes, we’ve been thinking about one of our favourite modern style trends: mixing metals in jewellery. Ready to elevate your style? Let’s dive in together!

Why Mix Metals?

Gone are the days when fashion rules dictated that all your jewellery had to match. Mixing metals offers a fresh, playful twist to your everyday look, making your jewellery collection feel modern and exciting. It also allows you to wear more of your favourite pieces more often, without needing duplicates in different metals. Mixing metals is all about breaking free and expressing your unique style.

Starting Small

If the thought of mixing gold and silver makes you a bit nervous, start small! Try pairing a delicate silver bracelet with your existing gold stack- or vice versa. Sometimes easing yourself into a tend can help you become comfortable with it!

Balancing Act

Balance is key. Try to mix metals across your necklaces, bracelets and rings. This approach looks more intentional and cohesive than separating metals by placement, which can sometimes look disjointed. But remember - aim for a mix of metals in a ratio that feels right for you!

Layer it up

Layering is your best friend when it comes to mixing metals. Start with a base piece, like a silver choker, then add other jewellery on top. This look is really all about trial and error, but chances are you will find that many of your metals already look great together. The different lengths and metals will create a textured, dynamic look that’s effortlessly cool.

Skin Tone Savvy

Here’s a little insider tip: consider your skin tone. Silver often compliments cooler undertones, while gold flatters warmer ones. But remember, ultimately you have to feel good in your jewellery – so wear what makes you feel like yourself.

Statement pieces

Feeling bold? Go for statement pieces that already mix metals. A necklace which intertwines gold and silver strands can be your centrepiece. It simplifies the process and gives you that instance wow factor.

Confidence is key

Ultimately, mixing metals is all about confidence. Wear your choices boldly, and remember that fashion is a form of self-expression and a chance for you to show off your creativity. If you love it, rock it!
