A brief introduction to combining jewellery
When it comes to combining jewellery, the saying 'less is more' doesn't apply. Stacking or layering jewellery is an effective way to add some glamour to an otherwise boring and uninteresting outfit.
This is especially useful when you want to switch from a work look to an evening look. Instead of wearing an extra dress, swap your ballerinas for a pair of heels and start layering necklaces and other jewellery for a sophisticated and luxurious look.
In this blog, we've put together some additional guidelines to help you combine different types of jewellery.
Basic rule for stacking jewellery
Follow these simple rules and you'll see that stacking jewellery is a totally easy way to spice up any look.
- Choose a basic piece
- Mix different colours and textures
- Play with proportions and shapes
- Combine different metals
Layering of chains
Combining and layering necklaces can seem quite complicated to many, but once you've mastered the art, you'll never want to wear just one necklace again.
The most popular option is to layer simple necklaces of different lengths. These should be about one inch apart when worn. Another option is to combine a simple necklace with a pendant necklace - the former should be shorter and the pendant necklace should be slightly longer. You can also mix different metals if you like. Who says silver and Gold shouldn't mix? ;)
There used to be a rule that you should not wear more than one distinctive necklace. Nowadays, however, this is no longer the case, as one of the extremely popular trends is stacking mixing chunky necklaces with several layers of bolder necklaces, creating a modern twist.
The only real concern you need to take into account is the looping of the necklaces. Make sure that everything else is manageable so that you don't find yourself in a mess.
Layering of bracelets
Combining bracelets is not a fashion novelty, it's something that has been done for decades.
Bracelets are a common and popular way to spice up your style, whether you choose to stack them or not. thick and thin bangle bracelets or combining several tennis bracelets.
There are several ways to create your own stack of bracelets. However, for beginners in stacking bracelets, it is best to start with small steps and choose complementary metals and textures.

Layering of rings
Ring stacks are another popular way to spice up your look today. If you want to combine rings, it's a good idea to do it on one or two fingers, while leaving the others ringless.

This space creates the contrast and appeal you want to achieve when combining them.
