The combination of metals has become a language of its own in contemporary jewelry
Mixing gold and silver jewelry is much more than a passing trend: it’s a statement of style and personality. A few years ago, combining metals was almost considered a style mistake, but today it has become a must for those seeking a modern and versatile look.
At Salvatore Plata, we believe in the freedom to create your own style, without rigid rules and with a bold vision of jewelry. That’s why we embrace mixing plated finishes and textures, whether in a single piece or by combining several different items. From innovative designs that integrate gold and silver in the same ring to bracelets, necklaces, and earrings designed to be layered and play with contrasts, we invite you to discover how mixing metals can transform your look.
Why mixing gold and silver jewelry is trending
For a long time, mixing metals was considered a style error. Gold and silver seemed like opposing worlds, and few women dared to wear them together. However, fashion and jewelry evolve, and today combining gold and silver pieces is not only allowed but one of the strongest trends.
This shift is largely due to the rise of street style and the influence of social media platforms like Instagram, where creative combinations have captivated influencers, stylists, and fashion enthusiasts. Additionally, mixing finishes offers versatility: it allows you to use pieces you already own, adapt them to different looks, and create a unique visual effect that can be subtle or bold, depending on how it’s combined.
The result is a contemporary, daring style with a touch of creative freedom. And the best part is that there’s no single “correct” way to do it — you can choose from small mixed accents to full looks where the contrast becomes the star.
Two ways to mix gold and silver jewelry
There isn’t just one way to combine metals. Depending on your style and the effect you want to achieve, you can take two different approaches: integrate the mix into a single piece or play with multiple pieces layered together.
Mixing gold and silver in a single piece
One of the most innovative ways to combine gold and silver is to integrate them directly into a single design. This creates a balanced look without overthinking layering, delivering an elegant and original result.

Practical tips for achieving balance when mixing gold and silver jewelry
Mixing gold and silver jewelry might seem daring if you’re not used to it, but with a few simple tricks, the result will always be harmonious and stylish.
Start with basic pieces
If it’s your first time mixing metals, begin with basics: a pair of simple hoops, a fine chain, or a smooth bangle. These are easy-to-combine pieces that soften contrasts and bring balance.
Choose a statement piece
Decide which piece will be the focal point of your look: a chunky chain necklace, a bold ring, or stacked bangles. Around that main piece, add more subtle items to avoid competing for attention.
Maintain balanced proportions
If you’re wearing multiple pieces, distribute the colors evenly: alternate gold and silver finishes so the overall look feels intentional, not haphazard. For example, a gold necklace with silver earrings and a bracelet combining both tones creates an orderly visual effect.
Play with textures and volume
Mixing finishes isn’t just about color — it’s also about texture. Combine smooth pieces with textured ones or with colorful stones (like in the CARAMEL collection) to add depth to your ensemble.
Consider the occasion
For everyday looks, a few combined pieces may be enough; for a special event, dare to layer multiple bracelets or chains with a statement ring, creating a bolder, more daring style.
We encourage you to experiment and mix gold and silver jewelry
At Salvatore Plata, we believe jewelry doesn’t need to follow rigid rules. Mixing gold and silver is an invitation to express yourself freely, play with contrasts, and create your own style language.
Our collections are designed to inspire experimentation: from innovative designs that integrate different finishes in a single piece, to jewelry you can layer and mix however you like. Every person wears their accessories in a unique way, and the true value lies in finding the combination that makes you feel authentic.
Dare to try, mix, and create your own style with the color and strength of metals. In jewelry, as in fashion, the rules are yours to set.
