The thing about layering jewellery that I find so incredibly special is how personalised and unique it becomes.  Whether you’re building your long-term look, which undoubtedly will become your signature, having seasonal fun, or dressing up for a specific occasion, the fact is: the look will be yours and yours alone.

So, when you do play that game, here’s a few things to bear in mind:

Distance

This applies to necklaces and earrings: don’t have them on top of each other so much that you can’t actually see each style. Being conscious of the distance between necklaces, especially if you’re layering more than two is crucial for an intentional strong look.

Proportion

Everything goes when you’re layering, you can mix all sizes, all shapes, just make sure that the picture as a whole looks cohesive and most of all make sense. You want all pieces to complement each other, as opposed to overshadowing one another.

Textures

Having different textures will make the full look that much more interesting, with different touches and feels, plain gold, diamonds, stones, don’t be afraid to try different things until you find the perfect match.

Dimension & Balance

This goes for all – necklaces, earrings, and rings – keep in mind the bigger picture of the look you’re trying to create. Make sure they all complement each other and have dimensions, are interesting and dynamic, and most of all that there’s a balance between all elements.

The point here is that: expressing yourself and owning your vibe can never go wrong.


See below some suggestions:

 

Jennifer Fisher

Kate Huggies

Shop the earrings ↗

Can not go wrong with these huggies, they come in rose and yellow gold also and are a perfect addition to creating dimension on your layering.

Falon Jewellery

Hailey Herringbone Chain Necklace

Shop the necklace ↗

A must in my opinion, this one also adds texture and dimension to your look in a unique way yet classic way.

Maria Black

Avani 9 Huggie

Shop the earring ↗

A huggie but with a flair, these accents give the ear so much movement and make it fun a great way to make the look more dynamic.

Stone & Strand

Sparkle Safety Pin Earring

Shop the earring ↗

Making sure that each side looks balanced is key. Adding little accents like this safety pin or other symbols that mean something to you will elevate the intention of what you’re expressing.

Oma The Label

Tennis Collection

Shop the necklace ↗

If there’s a substitute to the original diamond tennis necklace, this is it! Mix it with any metal, gold, silver to elevate your look and add another feel and vibe to it.

Tiffany & Co

Wire T Ring

Shop the ring ↗

The clean lines on this Tiffany piece make it the perfect addition to your look, whether you’re mixing it with bigger rings, diamond rings or different metals it will stand out but also complement the others.

Cartier

Love Bracelet

Shop the ring ↗

I know, we’ve seen it all and many times, but this is still so perfect when stacking and layering so it had to make the cut, also heritage and forever pieces that you can pass on are always a great and special investment.

Anita Ko

Zodiac Necklace

Shop the necklace ↗

Adding a personal touch to the look will make it so special: a symbol, an initial, your zodiac sign, whatever has meaning to you.

So, own it and have fun with it!
