With a fresh spring wardrobe comes a new look at our jewellery, and if our favourite celebs are anything to go by, mixed metals will be how everyone's accessorising their looks this season.
I don't know about you, but the jewellery I reach for varies by season. In the winter that means more chunky gold earrings and maybe a vintage necklace. My wrists and fingers remain quite bare thanks to the long sleeves and gloves, but in the summer, that's when my bangles and rings come to play.
As we head into April, I find myself getting the itch to find new jewellery to go with my spring outfits and one particular trend seems to be everywhere: mixed metals.
At the opening of Paris Fashion Week, Gigi Hadid wore a custom Moschino gown covered in gold and silver beads—with mixed metal jewellery layered on top. The supermodel has long been a fan of playing with finishes, not one to be afraid of wearing gold earrings with silver necklaces like fellow It girl Hailey Bieber.

As a loyal gold girlie myself, the idea of adding silver to the mix is counter-intuitive to me. Throwing rose gold on top? Downright intimidating.
Thankfully, many brands both established and new are coming out with collections filled with pre-mixed pieces to prevent choice paralysis.
Luxury jewellery label Spinelli Kilcollin's rings, for example, have long been the golden standard (excuse the pun) of mixed metal rings, and continues to be every fashion girl's must-have brand in their jewellery box.

But our high street favourites from Missoma to Astley Clarke have joined the fray, making it easier than ever to play with different finishings with their two-toned necklaces and earrings.
The best bit about this trend? More is more when it comes to acing the stack. The more you pile on, the more intentional the look. And just one piece of two-toned bracelet for instance can allow you to layer up on your own gold and silver jewellery, serving like a missing link between the two worlds. And if you're feeling particularly daring, go for the third metal, rose gold, and you have yourself a statement stack.
