Good things come in small packages, and the latest jewelry trends come in stacks.
Bracelet stack sets and ring stacks are one of the top jewelry trends of 2020, and what’s not to love about them?
Stacking your jewelry essentially means layering two or more pieces to create a new look.
Stacking is an excellent way for creativity to shine and flaunt your style and personality. Not to mention, the possibilities are endless.
Assembling a stylish stack of jewelry isn’t a difficult task. You can master the art with a few basic guidelines.
Whether you’re edgy, a minimalist, a free-spirited bohemian, or a vintage lover, you must remember to mix various textures, shapes, colors, and finishes.
But that doesn’t mean you wear every bracelet in your jewelry box.
Stacking jewelry is more about which pieces you wear rather than how many. Here are a few tips that will help you ace this trend.
Pick a Focal Point

When you’re talking about a bracelet stack, try to pick a focal point.
Then the rest of your bracelets would act as accents around it to create a textured and varied look.
So choosing your focal point comes down to what you want to emphasize.
This could be your favorite bracelet, a piece that matches your outfit, or even a watch. Once you identify your focal point, it becomes easier to pick accent pieces that will highlight rather than overwhelm it.
Bracelet stacks with a watch work exceptionally well. The bracelets can dress up and compliment your eye, giving it a more detailed look.
You can play with different textures and overall looks depending on your watch’s band.
Mix Materials
Forget the rules about pairing like materials. Think out of the box and pair different textures, materials, and colors.
With stacking bracelets and rings, anything goes. Mixing textures and materials can make your stacking combination look more visually appealing. Experiment with two or three different metals, combine beads with metals, gemstones with leather bands, and so on.
Pair some colorful pieces with leather bracelets to create a casual look with your bracelet stack.
Dress up your outfit by pairing gemstone bracelets with sleek metal pieces.
When it comes to stacking rings, there are no hard and fast rules.
Stack multiple rings on one finger and keep the rest of your fingers bare. Experiment with shapes and lines.
Try a combination of vertical, horizontal, and criss-cross rings.
This will create the illusion of negative space and give the impression that you aren’t wearing too many rings at once.
Incorporate Various Sizes

You can avoid your forearm and fingers looking chunky and heavy.
Use a few broad bands or several thin bands to create different looks and feelings.
Play with Colour

The easiest way to do this is using bracelets and rings in different tints and stones.
Make a statement and personalize your look with the gemstone of your birth month.
You could use gemstones or metals of other colors as accents.
Stagger rings with stones so they don’t line up vertically. Not only will this be comfortable for you, but it will also look more appealing.
Look for Inspiration

The color and shape of your bracelets and rings should be inspirational enough.
But if you need fresh ideas, look at your clothes and try to match your stacks.
Nature is always a great inspiration. Like our Tessera Collection, look for bracelets that reflect animal and floral motifs.
Comfort matters
