The art of stacking jewellery like a professional

Minimalist dressers beware: the newest maximalist trend in jewellery is all about ‘more is more’. While it may not seem conventional, you can now say yes to putting on seven different bracelets, wearing more rings than you have fingers, and decorating your ear with multiple cuffs! 

Stacking jewellery is an art form; it is all about place and proportion, mixing metals, aesthetics vs versatility. To avoid looking like a child who has raided his mother’s jewellery box (something we’re all guilty of), we’ve put together some tips and tricks to help you wear multiple in stylish (Vogue-approved) manner.

Decorate The Neckline

A quick and effective way to dial up the drama (and style quotient) of your OOTDs is to simply stack up your neckline with pretty jewels. The trick to successfully pull off this chic trend is to stick to simple, delicate pieces–one chunky necklace on top of another will look sloppy. Instead layer thin chains, necklaces with one charm, and interesting details to build up your look. Experiment with different lengths keeping your neckline in mind–not all your blouses will allow this trend to shine through.

Wrist Action

Bangles, bracelets and armbands? Say yes to them all! Take the approach of the more, the merrier and go nuts with your bracelets. Whether you dress up one arm with multiple types of bangles or dress up both hands–it’s hard to go wrong with this one. Remember to pick bracelets with different colours, shapes, beads, metals, and thickness to balance them all.

Rings Of Style

Stacking up on rings is a quick and easy way to really let your inner style-icon shine. You can wear multiple rings on one finger, put on an oversized statement piece followed by minimalist options or mix metals and gemstones–the choice is ultimately yours. To keep things interesting, play with colour, texture, and size. PS. Keep one finger bare on each hand to achieve a balanced look. 

Sparkle Up The Ears

Whether you have multiple piercings on your ears or not, achieving that edgy look is easy with cuffs and clip on options. These serve not only as style statements but as forms of self expression–ensuring that all eyes are on you (or your ears) at the next event. Combine hoops and studs with chains to dress up your ear.
