How many layers are too many? More is more in our opinion. Get layering with
birthstones,
diamonds, and everything in between. Layered jewelry- the growing statement trend of the past few seasons,
whether it is wearing several dainty pieces or a few bold statement pieces, is the perfect way to put all
your
favorite baubles on full display. Get more mileage out of your jewelry trove by knowing how to layer your
pieces. The following are tips and tricks from My Name
Necklace
that you need to know to achieve your stacking dream:
Layering 101
To create your neckline narrative, use necklaces with different chain styles and weights to avoid
getting
tangled. Layer at different lengths so that each piece can stand on its own, creating a cascade
effect.
A great way to play with texture is by wearing a dainty choker and then layering heavy chains or
pendants over them. Mix your metal colors! It creates more styling possibilities and adds a
contrasted
interest. As well, you may use necklaces of the same metal to break up a solid colored shirt. Tip:
coin
and horizontal bar necklaces serve as great diving points between necklaces that fall closer to the
neckline- use one of them as a base when layering and build from there.
Get Cracking on Your Stacking
For an ear stack that is simply ear-resistible, decorate your ears in style by mixing and matching
pieces
from your earring collection, as there are no limits for mastering the ear stack. Keep it minimal
with
an earful of studs or mix around different types of hoops. Tip: when stacking, wear a larger
statement
piece with simple studs for a textured, contrasted look. As well, don’t focus on symmetry! No need
to
wear a matching set, create an ear party with different earrings on both ears, as long as there is a
balance in weight and lengths! Lastly, stick to a theme. The pieces should all relate to one another
thematically such as an all-gold or a geometric theme.
The Perfect Stack
Out with the old, ‘ring’ in the new- nail the perfect ring tribe. A sideways stack is fabulous: fine
rings add style layered across the hand as well as stacked up the finger. A few simple gold bands
are
always essential to complete a stack. (keep it interesting by mixing different textures such a
twisted
or beaded band). To go bold, start with a ring such as a chunky signet ring on your ring finger as
your
focal point and build around it with relatively simple pieces. Additionally, there is no need to
stack
on all fingers, focus on one and stack rings engraved with letters that mean something to you! Tip:
Make
sure to leave wrists bare and stick to subtle nails for maximum impact.
If in Doubt… Layer!
Give your wrist a makeover. Offer structure to your wrist game by choosing one eye-catching statement
piece such as a bulky bracelet and build with complimentary pieces or get creative and wear multiple
equally striking pieces. For beginner stackers, choose to stick with bracelets with a unifying trait
such as an all gold stack or colors that compliment one another such as gold and red.Or choose to
try
different textures, shapes, and colors to boost the look of your stack- feel free wear to wear gold
bangles mixed with a leather piece or beaded bracelets with a watch- get creative!
When it
comes
to mixing, let your personal style shine through whichever stack you build! One is never enough, so-
enjoy, be creative, and get your stacking game on!
