Everyday Sterling Silver & Mixed-Metal Jewelry: Hoops, Chains, Rings & Stacks
17
items The easiest way to mix gold and silver is to repeat each metal at least twice and add one bridge piece that contains both, like a two-tone ring or a mixed huggie. Every pick here is sterling silver, silver-toned or deliberately mixed-metal, from Meju...
The two-tone links on this bracelet do the metal mixing for you, which is exactly why I grab it when I am dressing in a hurry. It is a splurge at around $250, but it goes with my gold watch and my silver rings, so it earns its keep every single week.
Kendra Scott Wells Chain Bracelet in Vermeil and Sterling Silver
Pick the Warm Silver finish and this chunky mariner chain gives a plain white tee real presence for just $58. I layer it with a much finer chain on top of it, and the contrast in link size is what makes the whole neckline look styled on purpose.
Madewell Chunky Mariner Link Chain Necklace
These are real 100 percent sterling silver for $78, which is why they are my go-to when a cheaper plated pair would turn my ears green after a long day. The chunky shape reads as bold in photos but stays light enough that I forget they are on.
Madewell Sterling Silver Collection Chunky Huggie Hoops
A set of seven bands is the cheapest way I have found to learn how mixed-metal stacking feels before spending on pricey single rings. The mix of oxidized silver, smooth bands and twisted gold-filled rope gives plenty of texture, and I spread them acr...
Etsy Mixed Metal Ring Stack, Sterling Silver and Gold Filled (Set of 7)
The Elisa is the dainty silver pendant I reach for when everything else I am wearing is loud. It is $150, comes with the option of free engraving, and the simple shape works as the quiet anchor piece in a necklace stack instead of competing with it.
Kendra Scott Elisa Pendant Necklace in Sterling Silver
Slim paperclip links make this bracelet disappear under a coat sleeve and then pop back out at dinner. It is made from recycled sterling silver, and I like that I can stack it with a watch without the clasp snagging my sweaters.
Monica Vinader Paperclip Chain Bracelet in Sterling Silver
Honestly these 3mm silver spheres are the starter studs I wear on days when I do not want to think about earrings at all. They are waterproof and hypoallergenic, so I leave them in through the shower and my morning dog walk, and they quietly sit unde...
Mejuri Sphere Studs in Sterling Silver
Link and chain details in two metals make this the ring I point to when a friend asks how to wear gold and silver together without it looking messy. At $140 it is the one piece in my stack that makes every other ring look intentional.
Kendra Scott Wren Band Ring in Mixed Metal
At $228 this is a serious sterling silver bracelet, and the 4mm box links have a weight that cheaper chains simply do not have. I wear it by itself as my one big wrist piece and keep the delicate bracelets for days I want a more layered look.
Mejuri 4mm Round Box Chain Bracelet in Sterling Silver
A wide cuff in an oxidized silver finish has the vintage feel of heirloom silver at only $68, and it is a fast outfit upgrade with plain knits. I slide it on last, over a thin chain bracelet, so the wrist does not look crowded.
Madewell Sculpted Wide Cuff Bracelet in Light Silver Ox
Engravable bar necklaces are the easiest way I know to give jewelry real meaning, whether it is initials, a date or a mantra. The chain adjusts, so one length works with a crew neck on Monday and a scoop neck on Saturday.
gorjana Bespoke Bar Adjustable Necklace in Silver
These medium sterling hoops at roughly $80 are my everyday middle-ground pair, neither tiny nor statement. They are final sale, so I check the size carefully before I buy, and I keep them in the same pouch as my other silver pieces.
Kendra Scott Raylyn Hoop Earrings in Sterling Silver
I wear one ear climber with a plain stud in the other ear for a lopsided look that feels fresh. This handmade 925 silver one is a risk-free way to try the trend, and a single piece keeps the price low.
Etsy Sterling Silver 925 Ear Climber Earring
A plain cable chain at 20 or 22 inches is the base I build every silver necklace stack on. It costs about $98, carries a 2-year warranty, and the neutral look holds up whether I add a pendant, a locket or nothing at all.
Mejuri Cable Chain Necklace in Sterling Silver
Anklets are the forgotten piece of a mixed-metal look, and a dainty silver chain on a sunny afternoon fits perfectly with my gold-toned sandals. It is the one piece I wear when my wrists and fingers are already full.
Etsy Dainty Silver 925 Foot Chain Anklet
Small studs in a love knot shape add a little detail when plain studs feel boring. At $60 they are a sweet present for a friend and I wear mine on days when my hair is up and my ears are the main accessory.
Kendra Scott Presleigh Love Knot Stud Earrings in Bright Silver
A locket is a keepsake I can fill with a tiny photo of my son and wear close to my heart. At $250 it is an investment, but sterling silver with white topaz is the sort of piece that looks the same in twenty years.
