It's fine to mix white and yellow metal beads, etc. But you need to use a
clasp of the dominant metal, with clamps in that same color, to give
continuity. A bracelet with gold beads and a silver clasp, for example, is
not good. Even having gold beads with a little silver and then a silver
clasp, looks like you ran out of material or budget and just stuck in what
you happen to have.

Oh hey -- this is really good advice. I never consciously thought of that, but
I always do it. Good call, Tina.
