Golden Eye? Silver Lining?

I was watching an episode of House of Glam tonight and one of the stylist said something that caught my attention. "Oh, you're one of those people that doesn't think you can mix gold and silver?" or some variation of that. It got me thinking, I usually don't mix my jewelry. I think the majority of the time I feel like it can come off as flashy and maybe even a little tacky. Lately, I've had this urge to wear silver and gold rings at the same time, on different hands of course. I'm not leaning towards one side or the other, because its all based on opinion. I'm going to try wearing the two together though, just to see if it suits my liking. I'm anticipating comments, I'd really like to know how people feel about this topic.
