And purple. I'd buy that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixing-colors---jewelry-and-handbag-hardware#post-1638007 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 16:50:23 +0000 rabbit 1638007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I pretty much just like cool metals (if there was a blue-toned metal I'd be all over that but I avoid gold or rose gold) &nbsp;so everything is silver or pewter by default. &nbsp; I sometimes agonize over how bright the gold is on hardware on boots or bags I'm considering, and have rejected items for gold hardware, even a gold button on tops or jeans. &nbsp; I think it's just a personal eccentricity though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixing-colors---jewelry-and-handbag-hardware#post-1638001 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 16:41:14 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1638001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to be very strict about never mixing metals, whether on jewelry, zippers, buttons, hardware, bags and so on. I also wore mostly gold. I have since acquired quite a few silver pieces. </p> <p>I rarely wear that jewelry mixed, but since I got a rose gold colored Apple watch, I wear that with both gold and silver pieces. I saw a gorgeous mixed metal Turkish piece that I did not buy but am still wishing for, because I thought it would help with metal mixing.</p> <p>I still won't wear gold jewelry when I have on e.g. a leather jacket with silver zippers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixing-colors---jewelry-and-handbag-hardware#post-1637886 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 14:28:17 +0000 Anonymous 1637886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here it is!</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://quotes.lifehack.org/quote/stacy-london/all-metallics-are-neutrals-so-it-is/">http://quotes.lifehack.org/quo.....-so-it-is/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixing-colors---jewelry-and-handbag-hardware#post-1637879 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 14:17:17 +0000 Carole 1637879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a silver and rose gold tone large watch I wear that seems to make everything come together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixing-colors---jewelry-and-handbag-hardware#post-1637703 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 04:18:02 +0000 Anne-Marie 1637703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do mix metals, but I figure it this way. My wedding set is yellow gold, and my diamonds look "silver," so that's justification enough ; )</p> <p>That said, I also have no hesitation in wearing copper colored and rose gold colored earrings and necklaces, or colored stones/resins, wood, etc. I pay a lot more attention to how my jewelry coordinates with my clothing color and mood than I do with how it mixes with bag hardware, shoe buckles, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixing-colors---jewelry-and-handbag-hardware#post-1637587 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 00:18:14 +0000 Anonymous 1637587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll mix, but very intentionally. &nbsp;I do notice, do care, etc and when I do mix, I make sure there is balance.

At minimum my watch is rose gold and wedding band/earrings are white gold/silver, and most often I also wear gold-toned earrings. Rarely give a thought to whether any hardware in shoes, bags, jackets, etc. are the same. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixing-colors---jewelry-and-handbag-hardware#post-1637572 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 23:34:41 +0000 always trying 1637572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am just starting to mix metals.&nbsp; Started doing this when I discovered I had totally forgotten about the gold buttons on a jacket, and all my other jewelry was silver.&nbsp; I have always ignored small things like wedding ring because Mine is also white gold and I would really miss not wearing gold earings, necklaces, et. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixing-colors---jewelry-and-handbag-hardware#post-1637568 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 23:28:54 +0000 Anonymous 1637568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear a gold rings but also wear lots of silver.

From there, I wear silver or gold jewelry as I see fit. I believe it was Stacy London of TLC's What Not to Wear who said that metallics are neutral and can be mixed and matched. I know I either heard or read it somewhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixing-colors---jewelry-and-handbag-hardware#post-1637562 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 23:06:38 +0000 jill58 1637562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;I'm wondering how other people feel about their primary jewelry color matching their watch, handbag/shoe hardware etc.... I always seem to wear silver (wedding band is white gold) and have trouble branching out. I've thought maybe a two toned (i.e.gold/silver) watch would help. &nbsp;Does anyone mix metal tones without giving it a second thought? </p>
