Mix, Match, Shine: Master the Art of Mixed Metal Stacks
Most women tend to stick to one tone of jewelry—either silver or gold—and rarely mix the two in one look. But what about wearing both? It’s adventurous and a little daunting, yet it opens up room for creativity and self-expression. So where do we start? We turned to Camille Sandico, co-founder of Penny Pairs, and Shar Cabigas, co-founder of Suki Jewelry, for their advice on mastering the art of mixed metals.

Suki Jewelry
For Cabigas, jewelry should feel instinctive and meaningful, a reflection of one’s style and mood. “Mixing metals means experimenting with different gold tones—yellow, white, and rose—in one look,” she started. “It creates contrast, depth, and a softer sense of dimension.”
Layering and combining has always been Suki Jewelry’s way of celebrating individuality. “We encourage personal expression, never rigid rules,” the co-founder added. “Jewelry should evolve with you and give you room to play. Which is why our clients today crave contrast, versatility, and freedom to express themselves.”
How does one begin to mix metals? Start simple, she advises: a piece that a piece that naturally complements your skin tone as the base. From there, add according to your mood—yellow and white gold for effortless contrast, or perhaps rose gold to add softness and romance. The only thing she avoids is the pressure for everything to match. “The most interesting stacks express personality, not perfection.”
Whether you mix yellow gold with white or rose gold or silver, it’s all about intention, balance, and how each piece makes you feel. “It is about comfort and connection,” Cabigas said. ” Let your jewelry reflect your energy.”
Penny Pairs
Sandico of Penny Pairs also shares the same philosophy: that there is no strict rules around mixing metals. “It’s simply another way to express your style,” she said, mentioning her yellow gold wedding and engagement rings adorned with diamonds. Mixed metals seem to be part of her lifestyle, often pairing white gold pieces with silver. “It’s less about matching a certain look, and more about telling your story through the pieces you choose. Your jewelry stack should feel personal, a reflection of who you are and what you love.”
While she’s only begin to mix metals more recently, the co-founder’s personal entry point was a two-tone watch that complemented her gold rings, giving her the confidence to experiment further. She doesn’t believe in combinations to avoid, but more so on balance and intention. “A great entry point is gold jewelry with diamonds or white/clear stones: from a distance, the stones visually bridge gold pieces with silver or white gold, so a mixed stack looks seamless,” Sandico suggested.
Her one rule: wear what you love. “The best stacks tell a story–yours. Invest in pieces that speak to you and that you’ll reach for every day. Because when your jewelry feels true to you, your style and confidence follow naturally.”
Let your stack tell your story. Experiment with tone, texture, and contrast. Because in the end, true style isn’t about choosing between gold or silver—it’s about how confidently you wear both.
