As a firm fashion favourite, jewellery stacking is a trend that has travelled through decades. Using rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets, stacked jewellery can be styled using a range of different design concepts, metals and gemstones and creates a contemporary look with a touch of originality. Many people opt for dainty necklaces, rings, bracelets or earrings whilst some may style chunky jewellery with statement, unique features.
Stacking jewellery is more than just a trend; it’s a way to express your personal style and create a look that’s entirely your own. Stacked jewellery allows for endless creativity, enabling you to mix and match different pieces to suit your mood, outfit, or occasion and can be easily dressed up or dressed down.
Stacked Rings
- Mixed metals and textures: One of the most recent trends in stacking rings is mixing different metals, combining gold and silver rings to create a unique vibe which can complement any look. Additionally, mixing textures, such as smooth finishes with hammered effects, can add depth and interest to your look.
- Shapes and sizes: When stacking rings, people will often mix up their sizes in terms of width and thickness. Start with a few thin bands as your base and incorporate one or two statement rings. This balance keeps your stack from looking too heavy but adds enough depth to create a more unique finish.
- Gemstones: By adding a pop of colour with gemstone rings, you can add a sense of personalisation to the stack, matching the stone with your outfit or other accessories.
Stacked Bracelets
- Thickness: When tacking bracelets and bangles, it’s always a nice idea to combine bracelets of different widths for a dynamic look. This includes pairing dainty bracelets with chunkier cuffs to create a balanced stack which looks both timeless and modern.
- Combine materials: Mix materials and gemstones like pearls, metal, and beads to add visual interest but also make your stack more versatile and suitable for both casual and formal occasions.
Stacked Earrings
- Multiple piercings: To make up an ear stack, start with studs or small hoops in your upper piercings and gradually decrease the size and complexity as you move down your ear
- Ear climbers and cuffs: Ear climbers and cuffs are great for creating the illusion of stacked earrings without needing multiple piercings. Climbers have the look of ‘climbing’ up your ear, and cuffs can replace studs or hoops without the need to actually pierce your ear.
- Asymmetry: By pairing a bold earring in one ear with a simpler stud in the other, an asymmetric style is modern and edgy, perfect for making a fashion statement or dressing up or down, depending on the occasion.
Stacked Necklaces
- Different lengths: The key to layering necklaces is to choose pieces of varying lengths. Start with a choker or a short necklace, add a medium-length chain, and finish with a longer pendant necklace to create a cascading effect that’s visually appealing and stands out.
- Pendant sizes: By combining necklaces with different pendant sizes, you can create a balanced, intriguing look which offers a different style on each layer.
- Themes and occasions: While mixing and matching can work most of the time, it is still important to consider the look you’re going for, especially as necklaces are so noticeable. For instance, if you’re going for a sophisticated, classic style, pearls and simple chains work beautifully together; however, if you are going for a more unique and adventurous look, you could try mixing in some vintage, character pieces!
