Why wear one piece when you can wear it all?
Busy ladies like us often find ourselves reaching for those tried and trusted pieces of jewellery—classic pieces that work seamlessly for both day and night. But for the fashionistas among us, it’s important to make the most out of our ever-growing jewellery collection. That’s why we’re big advocates of layering and stacking our precious gems. Not only does layering accessories make an outfit, but it also helps you get a whole lot more wear out of your jewellery trove.
Finding that perfect jewellery combination can be daunting—you want it to look effortless yet pristine. So here are some of our top tips to help demystify the art of layering jewellery once and for all.
Necklaces
Compass Necklaces in Gold Vermeil
Layering necklaces can be challenging, so first consider the neckline you’ll be wearing when creating your layered necklace look. The simpler the top, the more decorative you can be with your accessories.
Don’t be afraid to mix it up. Wear heavy and dainty pieces at the same time. Pair your statement necklace with simpler go-to pieces to transform your day look into an evening ensemble. A chunky chain can make your delicate pendants pop even more. Layer different pendants at varied chain lengths to achieve a perfect layered look. We think a delicate choker teamed with a statement piece on a longer chain can make all the difference to your casual go-to outfit. Why not pair our Forever Curve Necklace with our beautifully carved Compass Necklace on an 18” or 20” chain? Let your necklaces fall at different lengths, looking a little ‘undone’ to create that cool, effortless chic vibe to your style.
Bracelets
For those a little nervous about getting the layered look ‘just right,’ start with bracelets. Team up your favourite chunky bracelet with a couple of simple pieces from your bracelet collection. Go bold with your wrist game—don’t be worried about choosing between masculine and feminine pieces; wear them both. Why not double up with two of our hand-engraved disc bracelets, adding a personalised style to your layered wrist jewellery.
Signet Rings
When it comes to rings, more is definitely more. Stacking rings can add an edgy and sophisticated look to your style. Here are a few tips to help you perfect the art of stacking rings:
-
Mix Metals: Don’t be afraid to mix gold, silver, and rose gold. This creates a visually interesting and contemporary look.
-
Vary Thickness: Combine thick, chunky rings with delicate, thin bands. This contrast adds dimension and depth to your stack.
-
Play with Placement: Stack rings on different parts of your fingers. Midi rings, which sit between the first and second knuckles, add an extra layer of interest.
-
Balance: If you’re wearing a statement ring, balance it out with simpler bands on the same hand. This keeps the focus on the statement piece without overwhelming your look.
-
Personal Touch: Add personalised rings to your stack. Our hand-engraved initial rings or birthstone rings are perfect for adding that unique touch.
Why not start with a couple of our signet rings, which make for bold statement pieces, and mix them with thinner, more delicate bands for a balanced look? Add a pop of colour with our Birthstone Rings to infuse your stack with personality and sentiment.
Earrings
Layering isn’t just for necklaces and rings—you can also layer earrings if you have multiple piercings. Here’s how:
-
Vary Sizes: Start with larger statement earrings in the first hole and gradually get smaller as you go up the ear.
-
Mix Styles: Combine studs, hoops, and ear cuffs to create a unique and eclectic look.
-
Keep It Balanced: If you’re going heavy on one ear, keep the other ear simple to avoid looking too busy.
Final Thoughts
Layering jewellery is all about expressing your personal style. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different combinations until you find the perfect balance. Whether you’re mixing metals, stacking rings, or layering necklaces, the key is to have fun and let your personality shine through your accessories. So go ahead, dive into your jewellery box, and start layering!
