An EDIT Guide to Jewellery Stacking From ‘arm parties’ of bangles to delicately layered neck chains and glittering constellations of earrings, stacking is having a major fashion moment—and it makes perfect sense. It’s a fun and creative way to personalise your look while making the most of your jewellery collection. Let’s explore how to master your stack with some tips and inspiration from our carefully curated jewellery EDITs. Choose Your Style or Centrepiece Stacking jewellery is all about balance. Without a plan, it’s easy for stacks to feel overwhelming, disconnected or even messy. Start by choosing a style or a standout piece to build around. Are you drawn to bold, chunky designs, or do you prefer delicate chains and minimalist pendants? Do you have a signature piece that can anchor your look? Fashion-forward brands like GUESS, Furla, and Daniel Wellington have a vast assortment of pieces with common motifs or aesthetics that can be used to create links between what you’re wearing on your fingers, wrists, neck and ears. We love the way Furla’s floral-inspired pre-stacked rings can tie together your look. You can even complement them with subtle crystal or diamante accents for a refined touch. Select Your Focal Point Rather than stacking everywhere, pick one area to highlight—your focal point. This could be a plunging neckline that’s perfect for layered chains, or bare arms that can showcase an array of bracelets. Let your outfit guide your choice. Once you’ve chosen your focal point, keep the rest of your jewellery understated to ensure your main stack shines. For example, if you’re layering necklaces, opt for subtle earrings and minimal bracelets to maintain balance. This approach creates a cohesive and considered look, avoiding the ‘fortune-teller’ looking stacks—unless that’s your thing, in which case, go all out! For striking focal points, oversized pavé necklaces, bracelets, and rings from GUESS are perfect. Their bold designs draw attention where you want it most, while their varied styles and motifs make it easy to pair them with supporting pieces. Balance Contrast and Cohesion As you stack, pay attention to your sizes and proportions. Playing with shapes, textures, sizes and colours gives you great ways of adding drama and intrigue to your look. Experiment with contrasting materials—like rose-gold, gold, white gold or silver, or pair together different textures—like polished, matte and hammered pieces to direct your eye and enhance your look. You can also experiment with different types and styles of jewellery. Bracelets, in particular, offer endless stacking possibilities. Try mixing linked bracelets with sleek cuffs or layering slender chains with bold bangles. For a subtle statement, three or four delicate bracelets with charms can add elegance without overpowering your look. Start with textured or polished pieces like the linked crystal bracelet below or the bold, oversized silver bracelet from Michael Kors. Daniel Wellington’s rose-gold Classic Lumine bracelet and Furla’s striking Arch Stripe Bracelet are also perfect options to anchor your arm stack. To simplify the process of building stacks, brands like GUESS, Furla, and Daniel Wellington often provide sets of matching, pre-paired bracelets in gold steel or silver steel. These sets make it effortless to achieve volume and harmony while keeping your style cohesive.
