Stacking 101: How to Layer Necklaces, Bracelets, and Rings

"In the words of Terrell, when responding to Coco Chanel's famous advice to 'take one thing off' before leaving the house: 'F*** no. Put one more thing on!'"

Layering jewelry is an art that can transform any outfit from simple to statement-making. Whether you're aiming for a bold, eclectic look or a subtle, everyday vibe, mastering the art of stacking necklaces, bracelets, and rings can transform any outfit. 

In this blog, we'll break down the essentials of layering jewelry to help you achieve a balanced and stylish look.

Necklace Stacking: The Art of Layers

1. Start with a Focal Point: Choose a standout piece—like a pendant or a bold chain—that will anchor your look.

2. Play with Textures: Combine delicate chains with chunkier pieces, or add pendants and charms for dimension.

3. Mix Lengths: Start with a choker or a short chain and gradually add longer or shorter necklaces. This creates a cascading effect that draws attention to your neckline.

Stacking Bracelets: Arm Candy Goals

1. Blend Different Types: Combine bangles, cuffs, beaded bracelets, and delicate chains for a dynamic wrist stack.

2. Vary Widths and Textures: Mixing thick and thin bracelets creates depth and interest.

3. Add a Pop of Color: Whether through gemstones, beads, or fabric wraps, a hint of color can make your stack stand out.

4. Mind Your Sleeve Lengths: If you’re wearing long sleeves, keep the bracelet stack minimal. With shorter sleeves, go bold!

When it comes to bracelets, more is better!

Ring Stacking: The More, The Merrier

1. Mix Metals and Styles: Create a curated look by blending different metals, stones, and styles of rings. Gone are the days of all gold or all silver - mixing metals is modern and fresh.

2. Balance Across Hands: If you’re stacking multiple rings on one hand, keep the other hand minimal to avoid an overcrowded look.

3. Incorporate Statement Pieces: Pair bold rings with simple bands to avoid competition among your jewelry.

4. Think About Comfort: When stacking multiple rings, make sure they sit comfortably on your fingers.

🔥 Style Tip: Keep one or two fingers bare for a balanced and intentional look.

Terrell Tips for Stacking Jewelry

• Put One More Thing On: Do what you feel AND own it. Wear the jewelry, not vice versa.

• Experiment: Don't be afraid to try new combinations. Jewelry is one the easier way to refresh your look.

• Don't Overthink It: Sometimes the best looks come from spontaneous combinations.

Own Your Stacking Style

The beauty of stacking is that there are no hard rules—it's all about expressing yourself and having fun. Experiment, play, and find the combinations that make you feel like the best version of yourself.
