Spring Jewellery Trend Alert!

Mixing metals was once considered taboo (wearing gold and silver jewellery), but we are about to see this trend make a big come back as the season changes. There are a few easy ways to try this trend out, even if you think it is intimidating. The key is to keep your look clean, classic and classy. Here's how:

Nail Bracelets in silver and gold.

Tip Number One: Wear the same pieces in gold and silver.

Stacking jewellery that has the same design, in gold and silver, is the easiest way to try out the mixed metal trend. This keeps the stack clean and interesting. You do not want to look chaotic with pieces that are too different, especially when starting out, but it will be easier to develop your own style as you experiment more. With this tip, the simpler the jewellery piece, the better. This will also make you look very classy as you catch the eye of those around you.

Tip Number Two: Try Mixed Metal Jewellery.

If trying your own combination of mixing metals is too much to start with, then you can easily try mixed metal jewellery. These pieces are amazing for versatility, and add to your look in one piece. This style is finding its way into earring pairs, rings and even bracelets. Whether you're wearing a glamorous summer dress, or keeping it casual with a plain white t-shirt and jeans, a pair of mixed metal earrings are a great way to incorporate this trend.

Tip Number Three: When in doubt, add a little Bling.

Whether you are a gold or silver girlie, bling detail in jewellery is a safe way to experiment with mixed metal. The bling girlies know that you cannot go wrong with a little sparkle. It compliments other metals, but remember to keep it simple and classic. Try not to mix too many metals (gold, silver, rose gold, bling etc.) so as to not overwhelm your outfit. This goes for all jewellery: earrings, necklaces, bracelets and also rings.
