Why wear one piece of jewelry if you can wear multiple? That’s right, layering pieces is all the rage, and it couldn’t be easier to achieve this trendy look. Layering can be done with any type of jewelry—necklaces, bracelets, rings…you name it! For an inside look at our favorite tips and tricks, read on to perfect your layering vibe.
- Mix and match weights
Instead of going for all dainty pieces or all chunky items, wear them together for a more dimensional look. Pairing a delicate chain necklace with a heavy beaded strand gives visual interest and allows for the individual pieces to stand out on their own without competing. Likewise, try a statement cocktail ring topped with a thin band on the same finger, or even a knuckle ring.
- Space out necklaces
When it comes to layering, spacing plays a big role in making sure that the proportion is visually appealing and also so pieces don’t become entangled. However, necklaces shouldn’t be spaced evening—instead, vary the spacing so that it’s not perfectly balanced. If layering more than two pieces, try making one space narrow and the other a bit wider. This will create an interesting look that looks effortless.
- Try some arm candy
An easy and fun way to play with layering is with bracelets. Bangles, beads, and more—they all work perfectly for a layered look. Stack them up your arm, and even pair with a watch for a both functional and fashionable feel. Let the pieces overlap as your arm moves back and forth, giving you a vibe that feels subtle in a high fashion way. This works for both casual looks as well as formal ensembles. For dressier outfits, layer tennis bracelets full of gemstones.
- Vary different metals
The old rule of not mixing yellow and white gold is long gone. Today, combination pieces are both chic and timeless. Pairing different metals within a piece, or even as individual pieces worn together, looks fresh and stylish. Whether it’s necklaces, rings, or bracelets, don’t worry about what metals or gems look good together. Everything goes!
Sometimes in fashion and accessories, less is more. But with today’s versatility and eccentric styles, more is more. Layering is a great way to show your individual personality while staying on trend. And with our wide assortment of jewelry styles, you’re sure to find the best pieces to achieve this popular look.
