Today, fashionistas are wearing gold and silver together, combining different precious metals for a harmonious and elegant result. By following a few style tips and tricks, you too can create unique and refined combinations.

1. Choose a statement piece of jewellery

To create an eye-catching look, choose a richly worked main piece of jewellery, perhaps with stones or pearls, such as a choker necklace. To let that statement piece shine, pair it with stud earrings or small crystal or diamond studs. If you want to wear elaborate drop earrings, we recommend leaving your neck bare and opting for a bracelet or rings that pick up one of the elements of your statement jewellery, either in the same metal or different metals. For example, if your main piece of jewellery is silver, the smaller piece can be gold, gold-plated silver or rose gold, balancing out your whole outfit.

2. Pick cohesive pieces in terms of style or craftsmanship

Another top tip for juxtaposing gold and silver jewellery is to combine pieces in different metals that share the same style or workmanship. For example, a silver necklace and gold bracelet, both with marine-themed details. The Animalier collection, which recreates the texture of snakeskin and crocodile skin in silver and gold-plated silver, is an ideal way to explore this principle of contemporary jewellery.

3. Layer with style

Jewellery layering is a very popular contemporary trend. Try it out by wearing a cascade of necklaces, playing with the thickness and length of the different necklaces, alternating gold and silver. To avoid weighing down your outfit, we recommend combining a thick necklace with several thin necklaces, or pairing a pendant necklace with chokers and medium-length fine necklaces. You can also try layering other types of jewellery, by combining gold and silver rings, for example. Embrace the trend by alternating different rings on the same finger, perhaps one large ring with multiple bands, or distributing the rings over all five fingers.

4. Build bridges

In the world of jewellery, a bridge is a two-tone piece of jewellery or watch, made of both gold and silver, that harmoniously connects the other pieces of jewellery. A bridge makes it easier to combine gold and silver bracelets, creating a natural and refined effect. Similarly, gold and silver rings can be worn with a two-tone bracelet made from the same metals.

5. Take inspiration from elements of your outfit

Pay attention to your buttons, buckles and the metal inserts on your bags and glasses when combining gold and silver jewellery. For example, choose stud earrings that match the details of your blouse or the frames of your glasses, or silver bracelets that match your belt buckle or bag. Depending on the materials and finishes, you can create tone-on-tone ensembles, ideal for a more classic look, or a contrasting combination for a more striking look.

6. Consider the undertone of your skin

The undertone of your skin is another element that can help you to look your best when combining gold and silver jewellery. Gold, rose gold and gold-plated silver go better with the warm undertones of tanned or Mediterranean skin, while silver stands out beautifully against the cool undertones of fair skin.

While silver and yellow gold jewellery are classic choices, rose gold has become a popular and stylish option in recent years. In fact, wearing rose gold and silver jewellery together can create a truly sophisticated effect. Rose gold, created by combining yellow gold and copper in a three-to-one ratio, is flattering on both warm and cool undertones, enhanced by flashes of silver. This shade of metal also pairs beautifully with yellow gold, creating a more striking effect, or with white gold for a more elegant style. Additionally, rose gold elevates both outfits in soft, neutral colours – such as ivory, cream and pearl grey – and dark shades such as purple, blue and black.
