Why You Must Mix Metals With Natural Diamond Jewellery
Mixing your golds and silvers with natural diamonds is the way to go this year. This doesn’t just add an instant sparkle to the trend, it is also an easy way to add value to your stack, and make it as invaluable as you are!
As the name suggests, the trend, essentially, means mixing metals: teaming up your golds and silvers—and wearing them together. Yes, long gone are the days when the diktat said you could not group the two. The au courant jewellery folks have been delightfully blending the two metals for years now—and to head-turning results.
So if you haven’t already tried the trend, consider this a sign to. You can do so either by layering different metals, with separate pieces from each. Or opting for a stack of same-metal jewellery in different tones.
To further up the ante, embrace the trend with natural diamonds, for a take that is both timeless and brilliant.
The 2025 Update
Mixing metals isn’t an entirely new concept. It used to be quite the thing in ancient times as well, when the Egyptians often wore two-toned jewels.
In the recent past, however, mixing metals isn’t just voguish and chic, it is also opulent—courtesy of the magnificence natural diamond jewellery adds to it. This precious touch of real diamonds ups the value of any metal stack instantly, bringing with it quiet-yet-unmissable luxury. This also elevates the look from everyday to extravagant—and makes the trend so versatile, it can be easily taken from day to night.
And in keeping with the latest version, there is an array of silhouettes boasting natural diamonds to choose from, too. Fancy a stack of exquisite neckpieces? Go for classic tennis necklaces, dainty diamond pendants, or even bold pavé chokers or encrusted chain links. Want a splash of subtle-to-statement earrings? There are hoops, drops, plugs, tassels, and more—all in natural diamonds. Feel like shining the spotlight on your wrists? How about some tennis bracelets, diamond cuffs, and lattice bangles?
All the Rage This Season, and for Good Reason
When you mix metal pieces with diamonds, you’re not just on-trend like everyone else, you are also making a one-of-a-kind appearance, in jewellery that’s as special as you! That’s not all. Natural diamonds are also versatile, and everlasting. Which means they can uplift the mixed-metal trend from being a transient phase to a timeless classic!
For a masterclass in refined glamour, turn to Priyanka Chopra, Gigi Hadid, and Rihanna. From opulent red carpets to intimate wedding moments and off-duty street style, their effortless pairing of natural diamonds with mixed metals proves that true luxury is in the sparkling details.
Ready to Stack Your Mixed Metals and Natural Diamond Jewellery? Read These Tips!
The possibilities of wearing mixed metals with natural diamonds are endless. And with clever styling, you can make any (all) of your diamond pieces work for any occasion. Be it a casual-classy lunch with friends, or a fancy party in the evening, simply put on some diamond jewellery, and shine in grandiose, effortlessly.
A Pro Hack: For starters, focus on mixing metals on any one body part, keeping the rest relatively minimal. It’ll help keep the look less busy or distractive, and the attention, centred. Case in point: Zendaya at the 2022 Academy Awards—ethereal and edgy in equal measure!
Yes, stacking can seem tricky, but trust us, it isn’t as tough as it seems. Here are some fail-proof measures that can help to get you started:
Neck Stacking: If you’re just starting out, go for delicate heaping. Like dainty gold and silver chains with a tennis necklace and/or a diamond lariat to this lot—this will be easy to pull off, and looks fabulous. Another great alternative is pieces that give the illusion of layering, like multi-tiered natural diamond necklaces—they make your neck look stacked without needing any additional pieces. Gradually, introduce more standout options like a torc or a bib.

Insider’s Tip: Play with the sizes of your natural diamonds—from just a carat or two to enormous sparklers—for maximum impact.
Wrist Stacking: You can mix a range of gold and silver options here, embedded in diamonds. Bolo bracelets or sliders make for good choices as they are easy to stack, and come in a variety to experiment with. Team these up with tennis bracelets or charms that sparkle, to complete the look. Eventually, move on to more dramatic jewellery, and heavier stacking, including cuffs, wraps or even adding in some statement diamond solitaires.

Insider’s Tip: An elegant watch with some diamond bangles is a quick way to fill up your stack—as well as make it look more refined. Even better if your watch is embedded with natural diamonds.
Ear Stacking: Based on the number and type of piercings you have, pick an assortment of unique pieces, both gold and silver and wear them together as a bunch. Like simple diamond studs in the lower and upper lobes, as snakebites, or throughout the ear, including conch and helix, as a cluster. A cascade of diamond & gold hoops is quite popular, too. You can slowly build this up, with jackets, huggies to threaders, barbells, even bajorans.
