It’s a good day to be in the bridal sphere. Listen up, future brides: this month marks the beginning of yet another wedding season, and we’ve got a budding ring trend to spark some inspiration.
Enter “two tone” and “mixed metal”—two interchangeable terms that are busy circulating our Pinterest board. Recently elevated to it-girl status after Zendaya’s engagement ring reveal, this style is at the top of our request list.
Here’s everything you need to know about the two tone trend:
June Wade ring
What is a Two Tone Ring?
Let’s start with gold. In order to make this malleable material suitable for everyday wear, it’s mixed with other metals to make it stronger. The result is measured in “karats” and is the basis of the three gold colors: yellow, white, and rose.
“Two tone” is simply a combination of two colors on one ring setting—most commonly yellow and white gold (or platinum). Today’s trend includes the use of white gold prongs and a yellow gold band, or white and yellow gold components in a ring stack.

Where Do I Find a Two Tone Ring?
The combination of gold colors dates back to the origin of jewelry, with popularity spiking in the Victorian and Art Deco eras. Modern brides view this style as a way to stand out from the crowd or add variety to their ring setting.
Two tone rings can be found worldwide, but style variety is limited to specialty jewelers. Discover your perfect two tone by browsing engagement collections or start a bespoke ring at a studio with custom design capabilities.
