Mixing Metals: Jewellery and Eyewear
Jewellery is a form of self expression and style, the same way that choosing new glasses is. As a handmade jewellery designer and eyeglass wearer, it’s sometimes a challenge to combine both accessories in a stylish and creative way that reflects who I am. One of my favourite techniques to use is mixing metals. This technique combines the structural elegance of eyewear with the timeless beauty of precious metals, like gold and silver.
Mix It Up: Silver Plus Gold Plus Rose Gold
It’s no longer a taboo to wear your gold earrings and sterling silver necklace together, nor should it be frowned upon to mix it up with your eyewear and fine jewellery. Embracing the diversity of different metals, like rose gold and sterling silver, can add a touch of uniqueness and elegance to your daily look. Pair your rose gold glasses from Micontactologo | Monterrey | Facebook with some silver layered necklaces. Add a bit of texture, like Adornation Jewellery’s Full Moon Earrings in Reticulated Silver, to make your look even more dynamic!
Change It Up: From Day to Night
One of the major benefits of mixing metals is how it expands your style versatility. Your daytime silver frames and sterling silver stacking ring looks perfect and professional for your morning meeting but may not be ideal for evening cocktails. Switching in new statement gold rimmed glasses and adding some delicate gold and silver bracelets can transform that daytime look effortlessly. Adding more Adornation Jewellery Stacking Rings to enhance your sparkle is always a good idea! Check out Micontactologo | Monterrey | Facebook for stunning statement frames in silver, yellow gold, and rose gold.
Beauty in Balance
While mixing metals enhances your style creativity and options, it is important to maintain balance. As Coco Chanel once said, “before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.” An effective way to achieve this when mixing metals is to choose one metal as the primary focus and use other metals as accents. This will help you to develop a polished and cohesive look without overwhelming your overall aesthetic. Another way to achieve balance is through proportions. Think statement silver earrings, like Adornation Jewellery's Full Moon Earrings, plus minimal wire frames or large aviator rims with delicate layered chains.
The fusion of fine jewellery and eyewear presents an exciting playground for the fashion forward and the everyday classic style queen. Mixing metals can diversify your wardrobe, help you seamlessly transition from day to night, and create balance in your signature look. Combining your glasses and jewellery with mixed metals adds even more sophistication and individuality to your style. We hope you give it a try!
