Mixing, stacking or neo juxtaposing, the art of layering your jewellery pieces creates a sure-fire statement-making impact. Favoured more by the hippies of the past, the modern way of stacking more than a couple of chains, bracelets and rings can be pulled off in both ways— minimalistic and maximalist. With the dazzle of stones dancing to the rhythm of your movement, and the multitude of variations in the stones and metals that are endlessly interchangeable, this layering game can be interpreted in a plethora of ways depending on your mood and imagination.
Proportion and placements, mixed gold, silver and gunmetal and more—here’s how you can make stacked jewellery a winner.
Layered Chains & Necklaces
Curio Cottage
Whether you’re clubbing, pairing or layering— the rule is to have a moment. Curio Cottage‘s crystal-studded necklaces can pair effortlessly to complement your ball gowns and cocktail saris. Whereas, the cascading layers of oyster pearls and crystalline stones are the easiest to throw on. Experiment with everything— from kaftans to bustiers and structured blazers.
Pearls are an eternal part of your bauble box and will continue to resonate with elegance even as trends evolve. While it may have been an emotional purchase for our parents and ancestors, millennials are keener to experiment with it. Case in point: Meticulously aligned glimpses of pearls define brand Amama in the most au courant way. The designs cater to both the divided perspectives—minimalists and maximalists. Place your bets on the metallic chain and pearl choker pairings. Or simply keep going the neo-classic route with hand embroidered Indian choker and layered necklace rendered in dainty pearls.

Ring Stacking
Translating into a bohemian style at once, ring stacking has become a clever interpretation of ‘less is more’ fashion. From astronomical stones and crystals to enameled metals, you can create a veritable rainbow. The rule is to enjoy composing the mix of colours, metals and stones that are endlessly interchangeable. Kirti Kulhari shows you how to make stacked rings a clever part of your selfie. Stack multiple rhinestone rings by Radhika Agrawal! Esme and Arvino reinstate that there is no need to curb your creativity when it comes to enhancing your manicure.
