Wearing several rings or bracelets on one hand, known as stacking, is one of today's most popular looks. Its secret is that simple pieces create a style that is all yours. To avoid a crowded look, follow a few simple rules.
Stacking Rings
- Start with a statement piece: a ring with a prominent stone or a halo design, like the Ambré ring.
- Add a slim band next to it: like the Jewelure band, which complements without competing.
- Spread across fingers: two rings on one finger and one on another looks better than five scattered rings.
- Mix widths: one wide piece with slim ones, like the multi-layer Charmora ring, which looks stacked on its own.
- Open rings: easy to stack because they are light and flexible, like the Liora ring.
Stacking Bracelets
- Tennis bracelet plus open bangle: a sparkling, balanced mix. See the tennis bracelet and the Aurevia open bangle.
- With a watch: one or two slim bracelets next to the watch are enough.
- Three pieces max: for work and daily wear; add more for occasions.
Mixing Silver and Gold?
Yes, mixing silver with a gold-tone piece is now common, as long as one piece ties the two colors together, such as a two-tone watch or a gold-tone ring like the Orlivia ring. Learn more about rhodium vs gold plating.
Common Mistakes
- Wearing two statement pieces side by side so they compete.
- Tight rings next to each other that squeeze the finger; check our ring and bracelet size guide.
- Heavy stacks on both hands plus bold earrings and a necklace; keep one focal point.
