    If you have a gold necklace, I would wrap it with the silver one for a sharp look!

    If you have a one piece jewelry that is two-toned, it is quite fashionable. I would agree that you should try to match it as close as possible for more important occasions, of course, if you have a gold wedding ring but prefer silver, this could be difficult. I would not worry about it, you are just being you.

    If you're wearing very traditionally styled jewellery, which is often designed to be part of a set, wearing different colours together can look odd, although tying the two together with another piece, or an accesory, which combines the two colours can cancel the affect. With more modern jewellery, particularly if its quite a chunky, contemporary design, the contrast can be used to create a striking and individual look, and is nothing to worry about. A lot depends on the style of the jewellery in question and the colours in your outfit- try the whole ensemble out in front of a full length mirror in advance. If it looks great you've nothing to worry about- if the mismatched jewellery sticks out like a sore thumb then re-consider.

    It's been considered just fine in the jewellery world for the last several years to combine white and yellow metals.
    In fact, if you inquire at your local jeweller about 'two-tone' jewellery, they will be able to show you something, perhaps a brooch that combines both gold and silver tones, and will tie your look together.

    This is ok for everyday wear. But, in a formal setting your jewelry should match as close as possible.

    combining silver and gold is perfectly acceptable just watch for colored stone mixing as it may look odd
