Has anyone tried to change the hardware colour on a handbag before?

I have a Loewe puzzle bag and I love it but the only niggle I have is that the strap buckles are in silver. All the old styles were in silver, now I am seeing gold hardware. I don’t like the newer style and still prefer the one I have but considering doing a DIY hardware change. I have no intention of selling this handbag or care about devaluing it with the modification as it’s for my own use.

There is no hardware on the bag itself, only on the strap and on the handbag where the strap attaches.
The zip is silver but it’s hidden I don’t mind leaving it as is.

Any recommendation on how to go about it?
