Whether you’re wearing the latest dress acquired during your time at MFW or looking to add a bit of pizazz to a basic tee, layering your jewelry can add the touch you want to show off your flair and allow your personality to sparkle through.
This doesn’t mean you need to have multiples of the same type of jewelry to achieve the stacked look; mix a few old pieces with a couple of trendy new ones, and include a variety of metals.
For the best layering tips, I love this guide created by the layering experts at Chan Luu.
Layering Necklaces
Let’s start with the basics. You’ll need at least 3 necklaces including the base, a medium-length necklace featuring a different texture, shape or metal, and the finale.
The finale necklace should complete the overall look and can feature some type of unique pendant or charm (tassel necklaces act as a perfect finale for your layered look and are trending right now).
Layering Bracelets
Creating an arm stack can vary depending on your style and look. You can easily create an arm stack by simply adding bangles with a chic watch.
To create a more intense look, include accent colors, detailed metal cuffs, and a statement piece (my statement piece is usually a basic watch like this).
Don’t be afraid to add in a couple of extravagant bracelets while also adding a few subdued bracelets to balance the overall look.
Stacking Rings
Creating a ring stack only takes a few components.
Of course you’ll need a few stackable rings, delicate rings (rose gold and gold delicate rings are perfect), and midi rings to add depth.
In order to make the ring stack your own, add in a few geometric shaped rings or unique cocktail rings.
