Some ladies are lucky enough to have heirloom diamond rings, watches or other cherished jewellery pieces that have been passed down to them by their mothers and grandmothers. It is only natural that their precious hand-me-downs form the centre pieces of their collections and equally as understandable that they want to build their jewellery wardrobes on such impressive foundations by adding further diamonds.

They often find that the ranges of diamond jewellery available have evolved considerably since the days of their Mothers and Grandmothers. This sometimes prompts them to wonder of there is any particular etiquette about wearing different precious metals simultaneously. In short, there is not. Whether wearers prefer to stick uniformly with the buttery tones of yellow gold or the icy freshness of platinum or white gold is totally their call.

Those favouring a more classic look might decide to team up yellow gold diamond rings with yellow gold earrings, bracelets and pendants to ensure that all of their pieces remain within the same gold family. Otherwise, there are no rules that dictate against a yellow gold solitaire ring being worn alongside white gold or platinum earrings. The layering of lots of different pieces set in different precious metals creates a very boho chic two tone look, with each piece having its own story.

Our collections feature genuine Hatton Garden diamonds set in a variety of different precious metal settings at Quality Diamonds. How, when and where ladies choose to mix and match their pieces is all a matter of personal style and the impact of each individual piece is never diminished.
