When it comes to blending metals with confidence and meaning, Keren Yoshua, Co-Founder and Creative Director of Artizan Joyeria, leads with purpose and authenticity. Her vision is rooted in empowerment and creating jewelry that celebrates individuality and inspires confidence. For Keren, jewelry isn’t just an accessory. It’s a reflection of self-expression and strength.
Here, she shares her eight expert tips for styling mixed metal jewelry, because when you design and wear with intention, silver and gold don’t compete; they connect.
1. Start with pieces that already mix metals
If you’re new to mixing, start with designs that already bring gold and silver together. Pieces from our mixed metal jewelry collection do the balancing for you, creating harmony between tones without any guesswork. Once you find one that feels like “you,” it becomes the perfect foundation for your look.
2. Have statement mixed-metal pieces
Keren suggests building your base around one standout ring, bracelet, and necklace. Something like the Up High Layered Necklace Set adds just enough contrast to ground your look while still leaving room to play. Once you have your base, everything else builds naturally around it.
3. Mixed metals look best in multiples
Mixed metals look best in motion. Stack rings, combine chains, and layer necklaces of varying lengths to create texture and balance. The High Peak Ring Set is a great example of how contrast brings a look to life and how gold and silver tones work together rather than compete.
4. Begin with bracelets if you’re new to mixed metals
If you’re unsure where to start, begin at the wrist. Mixing metals through stacked bangles or chains feels approachable and instantly elevates any outfit. The Marinero Bangle, with its subtle two-tone design, offers a playful entry point that feels both effortless and refined.
5. Add simulated diamonds for cohesion
A touch of shine bridges the gap between tones. Keren often adds simulated diamonds or cubic zirconia to unify the look as they catch the light and make gold and silver feel like part of the same story. A piece like the Lock Clip on Charm adds just the right hint of brilliance without overwhelming the balance.
6. Layer different widths and tones
The magic of mixed metals lies in contrast. Pair chunky chains with fine strands, matte finishes with polished ones, warm golds with cool silvers. Pieces from our mixed metal layered necklaces show how subtle differences in texture can create incredible depth. To keep your layers looking radiant, our guide on maintaining mixed metal jewelry offers simple, eco-friendly care tips.
7. Stick to a ratio
A 60/40 mix, with sixty percent of one tone and forty percent of the other, gives your styling enough structure to feel intentional while still leaving room for creativity. Adjust it to fit your outfit, but remember that balance doesn’t have to mean symmetry. Explore more ideas in our mixed metal jewelry guide.
8. Make it your signature
In the end, mixed metals are about personal expression. Forget the rules. Your combination should reflect your confidence and creativity. Whether you’re drawn to bold contrasts or subtle harmony, let your jewelry tell your story. Discover our latest mixed metal trends and make this look uniquely yours.
