Mixed Metal Fine Jewelry

This curation from The 1916 Company showcases contemporary interpretations of a centuries-old craft, designed to complement both modern and classic tastes.
The Art of Mixed Metal Design
Mixed metal jewelry exemplifies the beauty of contrast. By blending warm and cool tones—such as yellow, white, and rose gold—designers create harmony through juxtaposition. These pieces are not about excess, but about refinement: the deliberate pairing of metals to enhance texture, light, and sculptural form. At The 1916 Company, our curated selection features exceptional craftsmanship from leading designers who define this artful balance.
Design Principles Behind Mixed Metal Jewelry
| Design Element | Purpose | Collector Insight |
|---|---|---|
| Contrast & Balance | Blends the richness of yellow gold with the coolness of white or rose tones. | Creates visual interest without overpowering the form of the piece. |
| Dimensional Craftsmanship | Layered metalwork and intricate texturing highlight each alloy's character. | Buccellati's hand-engraved finishes are a hallmark of this approach. |
| Modern Sculptural Forms | Clean silhouettes and fluid lines emphasize the beauty of metal itself. | Seen in contemporary collections by Vhernier and Walters Faith. |
| Everyday Versatility | Mixed metals complement any jewelry wardrobe, bridging warm and cool palettes. | Designs by Marco Bicego and Pasquale Bruni make layering effortless. |
| Architectural Influence | Structured forms and geometric motifs evoke refined modernism. | Spinelli Kilcollin's interlocking rings are iconic examples of this philosophy. |
