Mixed metal engagement rings in Toronto are becoming one of the biggest trends for couples who want something timeless yet unique. If you’re searching for a custom engagement ring that reflects your personal style, using two or more metals—like yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, or platinum—is a creative and modern way to make your ring stand out.
At Livia Diamonds, we specialize in one-on-one custom ring consultations in Toronto, helping clients design meaningful, handcrafted pieces that blend traditional elegance with contemporary style. Whether you love the warmth of rose gold or the bold contrast of platinum and yellow gold, mixed metal rings offer versatility, symbolism, and plenty of wow factor.
In this post, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about designing a custom mixed metal ring—from inspiration to craftsmanship and expert tips to bring your dream design to life.
Why Mixed Metals Are Trending in Engagement Rings
Mixed metal rings offer something more than just visual appeal—they symbolize unity through contrast. It’s a perfect metaphor for modern relationships: two different elements coming together beautifully.
Searches for “two tone engagement rings” and “mixed metal wedding sets” have increased dramatically since 2023, especially among couples looking to customize every detail. People want rings that are different, meaningful, and made to last.
Here’s why couples are loving mixed metal rings:
- More personalization: Combine your favorite metals (or mix your metal with your partner’s!).
- Timeless and on-trend: Blends classic gold with modern platinum or edgy champagne tones.
- Easy to match with other jewelry: Mixes well with watches, earrings, and other pieces.
Most Popular Mixed Metal Combinations
At our downtown Toronto studio, we’ve seen these combinations requested most often:
White Gold & Yellow Gold
A bold and classic combo. Often, the band is yellow gold while the setting is white gold to make the stone pop.
Platinum & Rose Gold
Sleek meets romantic. The cool tone of platinum contrasts beautifully with soft rose gold—ideal for vintage-inspired designs.
Yellow Gold & Champagne Gold
This combination adds warmth and subtle distinction. It’s ideal for clients who want something understated but different.
White Gold & Black Rhodium Accents
For couples looking for something bold, black rhodium (a plating technique) adds dramatic contrast to a white gold ring.

- Use contrast intentionally: Let the setting draw the eye to the center stone by using a contrasting metal.
- Balance warmth and coolness: Pairing cool metals (white gold/platinum) with warm tones (rose or yellow gold) adds dimension.
- Trust your instincts: A ring you’ll wear every day should feel authentic to you—not just trendy.
