Express your Jewellery Style with Gold in Every Hue

Yellow, white, and rose-toned metals each have a unique way of elevating your style—it’s simply a question of figuring out which are most aligned with your aesthetic. Here is a guide on how to incorporate different gold hues into your look.

Yellow Gold: Warm and Classic

Characterized by its rich hue, yellow gold has an undeniably chic and timeless quality. To add a hint of glamour, choose pieces that pair yellow gold with shimmering diamonds. For a refined and classic look, opt for designs that contrast its warmth with the soft lustre of pearls.

Yellow gold gives depth and polish to your outfits, complementing the richness and vibrancy of deep shades like purple, green, and blue. When worn with brighter hues like yellow or magenta, yellow gold truly shines, amplifying them even further. And when it’s time to dress up, yellow gold is unmatched in its ability to heighten your overall style and impart boundless sophistication.

White Gold: Sleek and Versatile

Understated yet sophisticated—there is something effortless about the way white gold elevates your style. While remaining a classic choice, it reads more contemporary than its yellow gold counterpart. Think cool, modern, and sleek: white gold offers an elegance that feels both timeless and fresh. It also pairs particularly well with diamonds, underscoring their radiance and integrating them seamlessly into your style.

Cool-toned metals bring a crisp, modern edge to your look, especially when paired with deep, dramatic shades like black, charcoal, or navy. The contrast enhances the metal’s clean finish and ties together even the most minimal outfits—perfect for an effortlessly polished style. Infinitely versatile, cool metals like platinum, white gold, and silver add a put-together element to your look, whether you’re sporting a crisp-white-shirt-and-jeans combo or formal evening attire.

Rose Gold: Soft and Unexpected

With its alluring colour and soft glow, rose gold jewellery imparts a fresh and feminine touch to your style. Not only does rose gold wear beautifully on its own for a more understated look, but it also plays well with other metals and is the ideal pairing for neutral outfits. Opt for striking pieces that bring together rose gold with darker gemstones or try jewellery that features mother-of-pearl for a softer, more ethereal aesthetic.

While adding a subtle touch of colour to your ensemble, rose gold instantly also brings a romantic quality to your style. A few pieces of rose gold jewellery can heighten an outfit built on muted neutrals like beige or blush, enhancing the overall warmth and elegance of your look.

How to Wear Mixed Metals

The rule of sticking to a single metal tone is long gone—mixing yellow, white, and rose gold feels fresh and contemporary. Not only does it bring dimension to your style, but it is also an unexpected way of switching up your look.

Here are a few tips for getting started:

- The easiest way to sport mixed metals is to start with a statement piece that combines yellow, white, and even rose gold, and then to complete your assortment with more unassuming jewellery made from just one of the metals.

- To keep your overall aesthetic balanced when mixing metals, ensure that the pieces you want to wear together adhere to a similar style, such as delicate and whimsical, ornate and decorative, or minimalist and contemporary.

- Layering necklaces and bracelets is a fun way to incorporate different metals into your wardrobe. Try to vary the lengths and widths of your pieces to keep your look harmonious.
