Traditionally, brides are often seen donning pure white gold engagement rings and matching wedding bands. But, today, one of the hottest trends in wedding jewelry is wearing mixed metals. This is the practice of either using more than one precious metal in a single piece of jewelry or mixing multiple pieces of jewelry made of different metals. Wearing just one color of metal is typically seen as optional by today’s style forward brides who enjoy the fun and versatility of mixing metals.
