For a long time mixed metals have been viewed as a fashion faux paus, but for the modern, stylish and adventurous bride that no longer holds true. Mixing metals has become a way to create interest. While a one toned metal ring does still have a classic appeal, mixed metal adds just a touch of distinctiveness.The way to do it! Because Natalie K’s skilled designers have taken the time to design and craft each ring with the utmost style there’s no need to worry that the proportions or balance is off. When mixing metals the ratio most stick with is 75% to 25% keeping one metal tone dominate over the other. In NK28669PK-18WR the dominant metal is white gold, with rose gold bringing the diamond halo to life and dripping delicately into the gallery. This gives just enough emphasis to the center mounting but doesn’t overwhelm the entire piece.Another great advantage to mixed metals is that it will allow the wearer to wear the accessories they want, not just the ones that “match.” NK24370FY-WY is a lovely piece which features a yellow diamond center. To enhance the yellow center NK designers set it in yellow gold. The play between yellow and white gold is exquisite and conveys luxury. It also means that you’re not limited to wearing nothing but white gold or yellow gold. When mixing metals stylists suggest choosing a “blending” piece that is, a piece that already has multi-metals to tie in with the rest of your accessories. This way the rest of your look looks complete and polished, not muddled.As with the two previous rings, you can see that mixed metals also open up the option to add a colored stone. Why stop at just mixing metals. Check in next week when we discuss adding a touch of color to your diamonds and side stones!
