Mixed metal engagement rings are increasingly popular as more couples want to express their unique style and step away from traditional rings. Choosing an engagement ring that matches your personality is a trend that’s here to stay.
With a mixed metal ring, you can stand out from the crowd and design something specific to you. If you prefer a modern design or a non-standard look, a mixed metal engagement ring might be the right choice. Platinum or white gold paired with yellow/rose gold is a stunning combination that will get a lot of attention. Two-tone rings also offer versatility and pair well with other jewelry. For example, if you have a rose gold and white gold ring like this example from Blue Nile, it coordinates well with other rose gold and white gold pieces.

Your wedding and engagement rings don’t have to be the same metal color either. Some people choose to pair their engagement ring with a wedding band of a different color. For instance, they might have a white gold engagement ring and a yellow wedding band. Traditionally, more people match their wedding ring and engagement ring metals, but that’s not the case anymore. Your rings should match your personal preference above all else.
There are several styles of mixed metal engagement rings to choose from, ranging from vintage to modern designs. You can also find two-tone rings for every shape, whether you’re looking for a round brilliant or a pear shape diamond. Many ring designers offer two-tone options, such as Verragio and Jeff Cooper. The rings might feature a shank, halo, or prongs that are a different color than the rest of the ring. Mixing white gold with rose gold is particularly popular, such as in this double halo engagement ring from Blue Nile. As you choose a ring, consider the color of your gemstone and how it impacts the overall tone.
