Mixing Metals: The Trend You’ll Love in 2025

2025 is all about embracing contrast and individuality—what better way to do that than by mixing metals? Whether you're a fan of pairing gold and silver or love the warmth and depth that bronze brings to a piece, mixing metals has never been more stylish.

I’m a huge fan of this trend—it’s been part of my signature style since I first started making jewellery. Working with sterling silver, gold, and bronze allows me to create pieces with depth, contrast, and character. Each metal brings something unique, and together, they tell a richer story.

Why Mix Your Metals?

Mixing metals adds personality and dimension to any jewellery collection. While silver offers a sleek, modern touch, gold brings warmth and luxury, and bronze adds an earthy, organic feel. By blending these materials, you can create an effortlessly chic and dynamic look—one that’s both timeless and contemporary.

The best part? Mixed-metal jewellery is incredibly versatile. It transitions seamlessly from day to night, from casual wear to special occasions, and from delicate layering to bold statement pieces.

My Favourite Mixed Metal Pieces

Here are some of my standout pieces that beautifully embrace the mixed metals trend, incorporating bronze alongside sterling silver and gold:

1. Organic Tales – Elixir Chain Bracelet with Alpine Daisy Charm

This bracelet brings together sterling silver and bronze links , with a charming Alpine Daisy hanging delicately from the chain, its centre crafted in 9ct gold. It’s a perfect example of how mixing metals can transform a simple piece into something truly special. Whether worn solo or stacked with other bracelets, the Elixir Chain bracelet offers a fresh, natural vibe.

How to Wear Mixed Metal Jewellery

One of the best things about mixing metals is that there are NO RULES—wear what feels right to you! But if you’re looking for inspiration, here are a few styling tips:

  1. Layer and Stack – Don’t be afraid to stack bangles, rings, or necklaces in different metals. The more layers, the better! Mix and match to create your own unique combinations.
  2. Go for Contrast – Combine high-polished metals with matte finishes using the metals colours for a visually dynamic look.
  3. Balance Your Look – If you're wearing a statement piece, keep other jewellery minimal. If you're layering, vary chain lengths and metal finishes for a curated effect.
