One trend that I have seen A LOT lately is layering jewelry. I love dainty pieces because not only can you wear them separately for a simple look, but then you can take those same pieces and layer jewelry for a statement effect. I did feel like I was always winging it when it comes to my jewelry game and sometimes would put multiple things together before settling on the final look. It can be a tricky thing to master if you have never layered jewelry before, so I thought I would put together a bit of inspiration and a few tips to make it easier for you.
BRACELETS
Lets start with bracelets because I feel like many people love to stack their Yurman bracelets, or stack bracelets with their watch. My husband got me my first David Yurman bracelet for Valentine’s Day this year and I’m obsessed. It’s unfortunately a tad pricey though, so I linked some great dupes and some more affordable bracelets for stacking. Kendra Scott has some really pretty affordable pieces that are perfect to layer jewelry.
NECKLACES
This one is what tends to get tricky and you need to either purchase some necklace extenders, or pay attention to necklace lengths and clasps when you are shopping. I like to go with three different lengths: 14-16″, 18-20″, and then finally 22″, or longer. This will give you a great staggering effect which looks so boho and lovely. You can mix it up with metal colors, or even textures. Have your choker length necklace be a bit of bling, or a shaped chain and then you can pick longer pieces that have some neat pendants on them.
EARRINGS
I personally have two holes in each of my ears even though I rarely use my second hole anymore. For those of you that also have that second hole it can be a fun way to wear two different sets of studs. Have you tried wearing your initials in both ears? I need to get myself some N’s and H’s. You can also pair an earring jacket with another pair of cute studs or layer a pair of studs and threader earrings. I definitely would keep it to delicate pieces. However, every so often it’s fun to pair a tiny stud with a statement earring as well like I did below.
RINGS
You know has some of the best ring stacking inspiration? Jennifer Lauren, so you definitely want to check out her page. I have been trying to keep an eye on how people layer their rings and then carefully purchase pieces that I know I would wear quite a bit. I recently got a really cute ring set from Kendra Scott. I also purchase stacking pieces from Forever 21, Amazon, Francesca’s, and Nordstrom Rack. I really don’t think you can go wrong with rings, it’s up to your own taste. Here’s my stacking shot which is a combo of Forever 21 simple bands, my wedding ring, the Kendra Scott set, and one I picked up last year on Amazon for New Year’s Eve.
I’m curious what your thoughts are on how to layer jewelry. Do you like more dainty pieces by themself? Do you layer? Or, are you more of a statement piece kind of girl? Drop me a comment below because I would love to hear your thoughts.

Cute pieces. I love to layer rings and bracelets the most. U can also twist a long necklace and create two layers making it seem like one is a choker.
I have a lot of unique rings that are already sets to put on a single finger and it’s a good way to do it without thinking about it. Love the post. I worked at two costume jewelry companies, so it’s near and dear to me. Stay safe babe.

Yay thank you for your thoughts Miki. I love doing that same thing with long necklaces by wrapping them twice. I also used to have some double/triple rings, so now I need to search and see if people still sell those.
I don’t wear too much jewelry because I was always taught to take something off. But this looks gorgeous and well put together.
I think that layering jewelry is cute! But at the same time, I get itchy when I wear jewelry that isn’t silver or gold. But you know what? I heard that putting a coat of clear nail polish can help.
I love layering necklaces and bracelets. These are some beautiful pieces. I love the splash of springy pink too!
This is something I really don’t know much about so its great to see the tips!
I haven’t worn much jewelry since having kids. I took a lot of it off when they were little and never put it back on. I probably won’t while we are all stuck at home now but as I was doing some purging and organizing in my closet this weekend I found a bunch of jewelry I forgot about so I want to start wearing that once we are back out around people again.
These are truly eye-candy pieces! I love your earrings and bracelets. Thanks for sharing your layering tips.
I love layering bracelets and bangles. I also have 7 ear piercings and I used to wear stud earrings on all of them, but I guess at my age, it would not be appropriate anymore. I want to try layering necklaces too. That is a great idea.
I rarely wear jewelry as I work with kids. I would love to wear some someday. Maybe that will be a mission for summer: buy jewelry.
I love more dainty pieces. I don’t tend to layer a lot but I love the look. I’m the most likely to layer necklaces.
Wow! These jewelries are stunning! I love to try layering jewelries, too. Especially that necklaces. I am definitely gonna love this!
These jewelries looks beautiful and stunning I love the rings looks so cute 🙂
These are all great tips! I don’t wear much jewelry, but now that I know how to layer it, maybe I will wear it more!
Hahah yes I was taught that rule too, spin in the mirror and the first thing you notice take off. I think styles have changed a tad bit now.
Yes that is true about the nail polish! I try to buy higher quality that is either a sterling, or items that are hypo allergenic plated with real gold.
Thank you Holly I am all about pink for spring!!
My kids are pretty old now so I haven’t had to worry about that in a while, but I totally get it!
I can understand that! I mostly layer two necklaces and 2-3 thin bracelets.
I am so glad you like the trend!!
Yes try it out with some dainty necklaces!!
I’m so glad you like them, thank you!!
