Yes. Mixing gold and silver is an established trend. Some ideas to make it work.

## Mixing metals

- **Choose a leading piece** in one metal and complete it with another.
- **Repeat each metal**: two gold pieces and two silver give balance.
- **Use a bridge piece**, one that combines both metals or rose gold.
- **Look at your skin tone**: warm metals usually flatter warm undertones more, and cool metals cool undertones, though it is not a rule.

## Rings

Stacking rings of different thickness, on the same hand or on different ones, works better if they share something, such as style or texture. See [stackable rings](https://www.711grados.com/en/stackable-and-eternity-rings/).

## Necklaces

Necklaces of different lengths, layered, look good when the gap between them is a few centimeters. See [necklace chain length](https://www.711grados.com/en/necklace-length-guide/).

## Earrings

An *ear stack* combines several hoops and small studs in the same ear, in different metals. See [huggies and hoops](https://www.711grados.com/en/hoops-huggies-and-creoles/).

## Large and small pieces

A large piece needs air around it. With other, more discreet pieces, the whole is balanced.

## Styles

- **Minimalist:** few pieces, fine and simple.
- ***Statement*:** one large piece as the focus.
- **Timeless:** simple lines, pearls, hoops, fine chains.

## A practical tip

If you wear colored stones, let them bring the color and keep the metals simple. See [what jewelry to give](https://www.711grados.com/en/jewelry-gift-ideas/).
