Engagement Ring Trend: Mixed Metal Wedding Rings

White gold and platinum settings will always be popular, but we’re seeing adventurous brides (and grooms) gravitating toward mixed metals for a cool, personalized look.

It’s not just edgy fashionistas and bohemians! In the tradition of classic beauty Audrey Hepburn and her stack of mix and match wedding bands, modern brides are mixing metals, and it looks totally chic.

Keira Knightley surprised everyone with her wedding outfit, then surprised us again, by combining an understated two-carat solitaire diamond in a platinum setting with a simple yellow gold wedding band.

Kate Middleton also dared to mix metals. As the world knows, Prince William proposed with Princess Diana’s blue sapphire ring set on a platinum band. Her wedding ring is a simple yellow gold band fashioned from a nugget of Welsh gold, a royal tradition.

Some brides feel that mixed metal wedding sets free up more options for mixing metals in all your jewelry and accessories, but most brides stick with (and love) a matched set.

This year we designed some of our wedding sets with rose gold accents for a mixed metal look within a perfectly matched set. The featured image above is the Larissa Rose Set, from our Laurel Collection.

What say you? Love it or leave it?

We Love: Chanel Wedding Style

Remember when Keira Knightly recycled her little blush pink Chanel ballerina dress for her wedding?

And a pregnant and radiant Drew Barrymore wore Chanel for an entirely different, still beautiful effect.

And our featured image, supermodel bride Kristen McMenamy at her wedding with Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld and fellow model Naomi Campbell, via this lovely link to Vogue Weddings.

Since then, we’ve been pretty enticed by the allure of Chanel-inspired touches for weddings.

Read and adore this slideshow on the 50 chicest French women of all time. This is from Coco Chanel’s entry:

“The first couturière as famous as her clients, Coco Chanel was an iconoclast that redefined the modern woman. Challenging class barriers and staid notions of good taste, Chanel took inspiration from menswear and worked with new materials, incorporating pockets, tweeds, and jersey into her lexicon of soft suits and easy sheaths. If you’ve ever worn a little black dress, designer fragrance, or costume jewelry — and you have — you’ve got Mademoiselle to thank.”

And another amazing slideshow. This one’s all Chanel.

Thank you, Mlle. Chanel!

Here’s a crazy-cool vintage Chanel costume jewelry necklace. Would it be exquisite against a simple wedding dress? Perhaps something Great Gatsby- inspired?

This beautiful inspiration shoot is Chanel-inspired. We’re loving all the black. It looks so chic and sophisticated.

So how much do you love Chanel wedding style?

Keira Knightly’s Wedding to James Righton

Can these names sound more delightfully British?

Keira Knightley married James Righton in France on Saturday. And apparently she’s worn her breezy Rodarte dress before, though she styled it with a classic Chanel jacket and ballet flats for the wedding.

We love her confidence! It’s not about the flowers, the dress. the hair and makeup. It’s all about the beautiful bride, with no distractions. It’s refreshing!

Cheers to the fashionable newlyweds!
