The Art of Layering Jewelry
Jewelry adds depth to an outfit and is a great way to let your personality shine through in your style. There are so many varieties of necklaces, earrings, rings, and bracelets that can elevate your look and add a touch of elegance or edge. This article will dive into the art of layering pieces of jewelry in order to achieve your own personal look.
Experimenting with Jewelry Lengths
The easiest way to start layering jewelry is with a few necklaces of different lengths. This can involve a chain that is more of a choker-style paired with longer pendants. Layering necklaces in such a manner adds an elongated look to the neck, and can add some shine to an otherwise plain outfit. You can also try layering different lengths of earrings as well if you have multiple piercings. Starting with a longer, statement earring in your main lobe and putting smaller earrings in your other piercings. This can draw attention to your face and brighten up your look. Below are some examples of layering with different lengths of jewelry.
Mixing Metals
Although mixing gold and silver jewelry seems risky, it is becoming more and more popular and can be done in a variety of ways. Adding a pop of silver to your normal gold collection can add a new dimension to your jewelry stack. Mixing of metals is most commonly seen in ring stacks but can be extended to necklaces in earrings.
Don’t be afraid of rings and bracelets:
The easiest way to start your jewelry collection is with different necklaces and earrings, but rings and bracelets are another great addition. In terms of bracelets, thick bangles and dainty chains have been trending over social media. Rings have been gaining popularity, as there are so many unique rings and designs to choose from and experiment with. For bracelets and rings, vintage stores are a great place to start. You can find hundreds of unique pieces and gemstones for much cheaper prices to start your collection, especially if you are not used to wearing these pieces. Have fun adorning your hands!
Layering jewelry allows you to enhance your style. Hopefully these tips can help you start your jewelry collection to ensure you are adding another layer of depth to your outfits and to help you create jewelry stacks that work harmoniously together. Experiment with different combinations to find what best expresses your personal style!
