There are no set guidelines to matching your rings’ metals, and mixing metals is a modern, fashion forward alternative to traditional ring pairing, so feel free to be as inventive as you wish.
Two-toned combinations can be both elegant and daring. For example, mixing white gold or platinum with a warmer tone metal such as rose gold will create a lovely romantic effect. If you prefer to make a more subtle statement, try layering white and yellow gold.
Remember that white gold is a precious metal that is plated with rhodium. If you’re considering pairing a platinum engagement ring with a white gold wedding band, the band may require more maintenance to preserve its color.
