Everyday Meets Festive
How to Mix Everyday Gold with Traditional Jewellery
Your everyday pieces do not have to come off for a celebration. How to pair waterproof gold with festive jewellery so it looks intentional.
By The Priskel Studio 3 min read
The short answerKeep your everyday gold on and add one festive statement. Match warm gold tones, let a single area of the body carry the traditional piece, and use your everyday chains and bracelets as the quiet supporting cast. One statement plus two or three fine pieces always looks intentional.
Most of us have a few pieces we never take off: a fine chain, small hoops, a tennis bracelet. The festive season does not mean starting from scratch. The most modern festive looks mix the two.
Rule 1: one statement, everything else quiet
Choose where the festive piece will sit, whether that is ears, neck or wrist, and keep everything else fine. Statement studs like the Sitara Asscher Halo Studs look modern with an everyday pendant such as the Crystal Heart Necklace.
Rule 2: match the gold tone
Bright yellow gold and antique gold can sit together, but they look best when the tones are close. If your festive piece is antique gold, choose your warmer everyday pieces to go with it, and avoid mixing in silver.
Rule 3: contrast scale and texture
- A carved kada beside a slim tennis bracelet.
- Coloured-stone studs with a fine everyday chain.
- A sparkling bracelet like the Nazakat Baguette Bracelet next to a plain bangle.
Everyday gold is the base note. The festive piece is the melody.
