At The Bushwick Market, we celebrate breaking boundaries and embracing individuality. Let's explore the art of mixing gold and silver jewelry to create your unique style.
Why Mix Gold and Silver?
Mixing gold and silver jewelry allows you to:
- Create versatile looks for any occasion
- Express your unique style
- Add depth to your outfits
- Maximize your jewelry collection
The Basics of Mixing Metals
1. Start with a Focal Point
Choose one statement piece as your starting point. Build your look around this centerpiece.
2. Balance is Key
Aim for a 70/30 ratio between your dominant metal and accent metal.
3. Consider Your Skin Tone
Use the metal that flatters your skin tone best as your dominant metal.

Expressing Identity Through Mixed Metals
For many in the LGBTQ+ community, mixing metals is more than fashion – it's self-expression. As shared by Alex, a longtime customer:
"Combining gold and silver pieces allows me to reflect the fluidity of my identity. It's a subtle way to say, 'I don't fit in one box, and that's beautiful.'"
Complementing Every Skin Tone
Different metal combinations can beautifully complement various skin tones. Here's a quick guide:
- Warm undertones: Try gold-dominant looks with silver accents
- Cool undertones: Opt for silver-dominant styles with gold highlights
- Neutral undertones: Enjoy the freedom to balance both metals equally
How to Care for Mixed Metal Jewelry
Keep your pieces looking their best:
- Store different metals separately
- Clean with appropriate jewelry cleaners
- Remove before swimming or applying products
- Polish regularly to maintain shine
