Heavy Metal Lover
As a lifetime Virgo, I can tell you that as a child it literally never occurred to me to mix silver and gold when I started wearing jewelry. I say silver and gold because it also never occurred to me that there were other metals to wear. Literally. So you can imagine what a matchy-matchy adolescent I was. Total snooze!
It wasn’t until I started working here and saw how many amazing jewelers (Destiny Ray, Minoux, and Kiersten Crowley, just to name a few) mixed metals in the most elegant ways- not to mention mixing shapes and textures. What an epiphany!
I was and have continued to be truly inspired by this. Yes, this might be a total DUH moment for a lot of you out there, but just let me rant for a sec, will ya?
I started my quest the way the best ones do, with baby steps. It was a shiny silver charm on an oxidized silver chain- the two silvers were different, okay? Totally counts!
And now I am a full blown mix master! Shiny, antiqued, yellow gold, brushed copper- the works. The key is to make it look intentional, not messy. Stick to a palate of two or three metals (three, say, if it’s one antiqued and one shiny of the same metal, and then another complimentary metal.)
Enough chitchat, here’s a peek at the shiny stuff we have in store for you right now at pedX:
Doesn’t this look like an awesome party? So try wearing silver shoes with a pile of brassy necklaces, or gobs of silver earrings and rings with one or two gold ones. It’s fun, I swear!
