This is our third segment on our trend report, helping you decide what works best for you with engagement ring details and ideas that can be ideal for your style. We’ve reviewed the benefits and beauty of diamond halos as well as the sweet and delicate gleam of rose gold. This week we’ll be discussing the latest trend: mixed metals. Creating new and multifaceted designs, mixed metals are unique and intriguing. From vintage with flourishing details to minimally chic, modern designs, combined metals will be sure to be create a statement piece.

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!

Le Rose is Natalie K’s glowing collection centered on the blushing gleam of rose gold. There’s something soft, delicate and charming about the warm metal. It has a versatility and effortless charm.

Natalie K has come to appreciate rose gold for its charming pink hue and versatility. With its soft pink hue it is complementary to most skin tones, bringing out underling rosy tones, as opposed to the bright contrast of white or yellow gold. It also lends itself well to being combined with other metals. NK28671-18RW displays a stunning gallery cast in white gold but surrounded by a rose gold band and shank. Adding touches of white gold to a rose gold band, or vise versa can soften the overall look and add a whimsical flair to a classic style.

It’s easy to appreciate the effortless way in which rose gold complements the natural beauty of diamonds. Rose gold has the ability to be beautiful in itself while at the same time not drawing the attention away from the diamonds or diamond center. It can also be paired with diamonds of various colors and enhance their hue. The mix of pink and white diamonds in our Rosé Collection is the perfect example of rose gold’s ability to produce harmony. NK28687PK18WR is a beautiful example of the way in which a fancy colored diamond’s natural hue is brought out. The pink diamonds all along the twisted shank reflect the sweet warm glow of rose gold.

While rose gold’s color inspires an old world feel and therefore creates stunningly beautiful vintage styles it has the ability to transcend. The gleam of rose gold when cast in a more modern mounting can still give off an old world feel while remaining contemporary. NK28670PK-18RW‘s styling is refreshing and unique. Had it been crafted in white gold it’s sleek split shank design could appear wholly contemporary, but with a rosy tint, the style is able to meander between old and new, perfect for a modern woman who has a taste for vintage appeal.
