When the mood board suggests ‘more is more’ and baubles abound, stacking is the way to go! With maximalism making a comeback, De Beers Forevermark offers ways to wear your diamond baubles with whimsy and playfulness to create an attractive look.
It may seem intuitive, but layering with sparkling diamonds while maintaining aesthetic balance, is an art by itself.
Here’s how to stack diamond jewellery effectively to elevate your unique style.
Finger Bling
Rings are the easiest accessories to stack. Start with a combination of rings with stones cut in different shapes. Round brilliants, interspersed with rectangular shapes, or dainty rings alternated with solid ones that will lend definition to the fingers.
Vary the look with different band styles such as eternity or pavé bands, multibands and wrap designs. Stack multiple rings on one finger in a vertical column, or spread them across the fingers for balance. If you want to tone down the sparkle, simply use plain metal rings to separate the diamond rings.
Ear Adornments
Get experimental and edgy, especially if your ears have multiple piercings. Create an asymmetrical look by wearing mismatched earrings. Combine classic styles such as hoops, teardrops, danglers and threaders with diamond studs in different sizes for a trendy look. However, if sporting solitaires or studs on the main piercing, arrange small diamond hoops or huggies up the ear. Ear cuffs have been in vogue for a while now and they add that element of rock chick quirk. Follow this look book for informal occasions only.
De Beers Forevermark has an extensive collection of studs and hoops across its popular collections including highly stackable two stone pieces in the Twogether Collection.
Wrist Glamour
Its jingle jangle all the way with stacked bangles! Mix textures, such as combining a chic diamond tennis bracelet with a casual chain or charm bracelet. Pair bracelets of varying widths to create a substantial stack. One of the more popular ways to achieve this build up is with a combination of beaded or braided bracelets. Alternatively, a couple of cuffs make the same impact. You can also mix metals to get yellow, silver or white glint. Last but not the least, add a watch or a fitness tracker to your stack to add more personality!
De Beers Forevermark specialises in Bypass Bangles, across its best selling Avaanti and Icon collections, which are made for stacking.
Draping the Neck Stylishly
One of the more visible areas to show off your stacking game. Layer up to three necklaces of different lengths to avoid tangling and create impact with each piece. A choker, a mid-length, and a long necklace work well together. Layering with two necklaces while playing with weight is effective as well. String pendants of different proportions on two simple chains of different lengths – one close to the throat, the other slightly longer. You can also alter the styles, for instance, mix a diamond solitaire pendant with a tennis necklace.
