How To Stack Earrings

Choose A Theme

Many people choose to have a theme to their earring stack, this isn’t necessary, but it does help your look to be more cohesive and fashionable. Your theme could be as simple as choosing between silver jewellery, yellow gold jewellery or rose gold jewellery. Or, you could go for a theme such as a colour, gemstone, season, holiday, or anything that you could imagine. Try and choose pieces that work together, but also have some fun with different shades, shapes and hues to keep the look interesting. Some fun and interesting themes you could go with are listed below:

  • Astrology signs
  • Birthstones
  • Mythical creatures
  • Space
  • Vintage retro 
  • Neon 
  • Opal/pearl 
  • Grunge
  • Mixed metal

Picking Your Pieces

Once you have the general gist of what you would like your stack to look like all together, you will need to start choosing your individual pieces. Start with which metal you prefer, and stick with it (unless you are planning on mixing metals). I like to begin with my main centrepiece, the statement of the look if you will. Usually, the drop earring will belong in your first piercing hole, as this is where it will sit the nicest. As a general rule of thumb, you will want to make sure that your earrings get gradually smaller as you move up the ear. Try to choose a mix between coloured gemstone, cubic zirconia or diamond earrings and full metal pieces to keep the look balanced and trendy. Try to go for 20% statement pieces, 20% glittering/coloured pieces, and the rest simple studs and hoops. 

Consider The Occasion

Different occasions will call for different jewellery, this is why it’s important to have a selection of statement pieces to choose from. By keeping most of your earring jewellery simple and switching out the statement pieces, you can create yourself an easy and versatile earring stack. To keep the look more casual, choose simple drop earrings or hoops and for something more formal you can play around with more extravagant pieces that accentuate the rest of your outfit. When picking your jewellery you will want to consider where you are going, the colours of your dress, and how busy your dress already is. All of these factors will play into which jewellery will look the best!

Now that we’ve given you some of our top tips, we’re going to go one step further and help you pick out some basics to get your look started.
