Historically, mixing metals in fashion has been a huge no-no. It was a societal sign of wealth to have matching metals in your jewelry pieces. This sign of rank started when an increase in demand from the same amount of supply from mines meant there was more competition in the supply chain. In order to meet demand, the metals were adapted and mixed into alloys. Jewelry pieces that were made of mixed metals were less pure, and therefore signified a lower wealth status. And for centuries this status stuck. That is until recent trends have turned that around and mixing metals has continued to grow in popularity the last decade.
