Should I Wear Gold or Silver? (Spoiler: You Don’t Have to Choose)

Should I Wear Gold or Silver? - Shop Mogano Jewelry

Let’s put an end to the fashion rumor mill: choosing between gold or silver isn’t a rule—it’s a personal style decision. At Mogano, we’ve ripped up that outdated manual. We believe mixing metals is not just allowed… It's practically a style signature, and is highly encouraged. And we’ve got the jewelry to prove it.


Why the “One Metal Only” Rule Doesn’t Fly Here

Remember that old rule about matching jewelry to your undertone? Sure, it had its day. But here’s the truth: jewelry should be about how it makes you feel—not what belongs in some style checklist. Mixing metals turns your accessories from matching to voice—the kind of look that gets noticed because it feels right.


Mogano’s Guide to Mixing Metals: Inspired & Intentional

Anchor with intentional mixes

Take our That’s Iconic Hoops as Exhibit A. These two-toned hoops merge gold and silver in a single piece, creating contrast without the hassle of mixing and matching multiple earrings. They’re the perfect “starter kit” to dip your toes into dual-metal stacks. 

Create layers with balance

Start with a standout piece—like a gold pendant or silver hoops—and then weave in the other metal. Let it echo across your stack. Think: gold chain with a silver charm, or sterling silver studs, like the Diamante Studs, paired with a 14k gold vermeil cuff, like the Trinity Ear Cuff

Let texture do the talking

Working with smooth and sculptural pieces—like a pave stud in silver against a chunky gold huggie—adds dimension. The contrast is both rich and visually appealing.


Why This Works for You, Not Just the Trends

  • Wardrobe fluidity – You can outfit-match with confidence, no more “does this match my earrings?” anxiety.

  • Effortless upgrades – That old silver chain looks brand-new with your gold fill stack.

  • Personality shine – Mixing metals allows you to layer purpose into your pieces, making your style feel more you.

Your Stack, Your Story

Mixing metals isn’t about sneaking in a little gold with your silver—it’s about letting them shine together. At Mogano, we design jewelry—like the That’s Iconic Hoops—that does the mixing for you and empowers your stack with intention.

The real question isn’t “should you pick gold or silver”—it’s “why limit yourself?” Whether you’re stacking gold, silver, or both, confidence and layers are always in style.
