Silver or gold? Spoil her with the perfect jewellery for Mother’s Day.
Jewellery for Mother’s Day is a classic gift for a reason. Not only is it something she’ll be able to proudly show off, but it’s also a sentimental gift that she will always cherish.
But with so many different styles of jewellery on the market, there’s plenty of confusion around which metal to choose. Should you look for gold or silver? Will she get more wear out of something big, and shiny, or is something more subtle her style? Say goodbye to last-minute gifting panic, because we’ve got you covered with fail-proof jewellery that every Mum will love.
How do I know whether to give someone gold or silver jewellery?
Jewellery as a gift can be a little tricky. Whether you’re looking for a Mother’s Day gift, or even just a gift to say congratulations, how do you know if they prefer gold or silver jewellery?
The best place to start is to check to see what colour they usually wear. Are they someone who always wears their favourite gold earrings? Perhaps they wear a silver necklace every day to work? Try to understand what they usually wear, and then use that as a guide. If all else fails, we suggest giving them a luxury jewellery case to house their collection. It’s a sneaky way to get an insight into their metal preferences, gold, silver, or both, so you can be prepared next time.
How to mix and match gold and silver jewellery
Another myth with styling is that gold and silver should never be mixed. On the contrary, mixing and matching your accessories is part of the fun. Here are some simple tips to make the most of any jewellery collection:
- Layering is your friend: when combining metals, layer the pieces close to each other for maximum impact. For example, stack multiple necklaces on top of each other or multiple rings on your fingers. To avoid tangling, use a single necklace with multiple chains.
- Try to strike a balance: We suggest trying to aim for a 50/50 of gold and silver jewellery.
- Consider the tone of each piece: Different jewellery pieces communicate a different tone. For example, delicate pieces look best when paired with other fine jewellery pieces. When it comes to bold, statement pieces, you might find it doesn’t need any extra jewellery to help it stand out. Let the tone of your jewellery lead your styling choices.
- Invest in a mixed-metal piece: can’t figure out how to mix your jewellery? You need a ready-made mixed piece. A mixed-metal necklace can work as a “bridging piece” between gold and silver, making the combination a little more cohesive, just like this mixed-metal set of rings.
