Fletcher Ring in Gold/Silver
We’re not biased when it comes to our jewellery collections, loving the gold and the silver, the beads and the pearls, *almost* equally. Although trending now (no longer seen as accidental or ‘classless’), here at Reliquia Jewellery, we’ve been fans of the mix and match for years. It’s the secret to a killer look and truly personal accessorising. Make it your daily must-do with our tips for mixing jewellery metals below.
How to wear mixed metal jewellery: 5 tips
Choose your focal piece.
To reduce the clutter and overwhelm, aim to select one key piece of jewellery that will stand out amongst the rest. Consider an excessively chunky chain or bulging gold hoops, maybe a statement ring or an exaggerated cuff. Pick it and stick with it. From here, the beauty will flow.

Three is the magic number.
Lots of good things come in threes, including nuanced personal style. Nail the balance by incorporating no more than three metals or materials, allowing some sort of cohesion even amongst the stacks of jewellery. If that feels too much (or too hard), take it back a notch and stick with two. Keep it simple and straightforward; make it work for you.
Maintain balance.
We don’t want to get too top- or gold-heavy here. If you’ve gone chunky on the ears or glistening with maximum pave crystal around the neck, try to downplay it elsewhere – coming back to tip #1. Merge the bold with fine jewellery and delicate charms to create purposeful intrigue and contrast.The same goes for your mixed metals: lean into an almost split mix with golds and silvers in a similar capacity. And make sure you scatter them, too, so your left side isn't decked in gold jewellery and the right in a smattering of silver.

For maximum simplicity, stick with two-tone pieces.
If you're looking for a zero-thought solution to the mixed metals trend, opt for pieces with impact built-in. Choose bracelets, necklaces and mixed metals earrings, pairing silver and gold so you can simply put on and go.
Always wear what feels ‘you’.
It’s the mantra here as we aim to pursue daily accessorising through a lens of self-knowing, so this tip bears importance above all else.Keep it accessible and repeatable so you can identify your favourite looks and pairings, taking inspiration from the Reliquia Jewellery archive. Push yourself to try something new by adding a simple pearl necklace to your gold get-up or integrating silver hoops into your curated earring stack. Start with baby steps and see how it sticks.
