CHOOSE A PIECE THAT ANCHORS EVERYTHING
THEN BUILD THE LOOK AROUND IT.
Mix a medallion pendant with a Y-necklace and maybe a trendy paper-clip chain or a chunky Cuban link with a diamond or gemstone solitaire attached to it. Finish it off with something set with a hardstone, like malachite or lapis, or a row of colored gemstone accents. Color adds some punch to an otherwise monochrome look, and gemstones are a perfect way to add some drama. Pick a gem that means something to you, like a birthstone, or one that carries a symbolic meaning. Or simply match your outfit. You can
also create color with metals. Mix and match white, yellow, and rose-colored metals for a textured look. Anything goes! The well-stacked wrist often starts with one main piece. From there, you could wear a stack of similar pieces, like a set of bangles in different patterns or colors. Alternatively, you could mix the standout piece with a collection of more subtle designs in slack bracelet or hard bangle form. If clashing isn’t for you or won’t suit the occasion, then choose pieces that share a similar aesthetic but aren’t identical.
