STORIES - The Art of Stacking
Stacking jewellery is more than just a trend it’s a creative expression of your personal style. Whether you prefer a subtle, minimal look or love to layer bold statement pieces, stacking allows you to tell your own story through jewellery. At byJACKY, we embrace stacking as a way to play, experiment and shine every single day.
But what exactly is the art of stacking, and how do you master it without overthinking it? Let’s dive in.
What Is Jewellery Stacking?
Jewellery stacking is all about layering multiple pieces together rings, bracelets, necklaces or even earrings to create a look that feels uniquely yours. There are no strict rules, which is what makes it so much fun. You can mix fine jewellery with statement pieces, combine textures, or stick to one colour palette for a clean, cohesive look.
Stacking is not about perfection. It’s about balance, personality and confidence.
How to Stack Like a Pro
If you’re new to stacking, starting small is key. Choose one statement piece as your foundation perhaps a bold ring or a chunky bracelet and build around it with finer, more delicate items. This creates contrast and keeps your look balanced rather than overwhelming.
Another popular approach is to mix widths and shapes. Pair slim bands with engraved rings, or combine smooth finishes with detailed textures. You can also play with symmetry or deliberately break it for a more playful, effortless effect.
When it comes to bracelets, stacking works beautifully by mixing different styles: think bangles, chains and stretch bracelets worn together for a relaxed yet styled look. And for necklaces? Layering different chain lengths instantly adds depth to any outfit.
Mixing Metals & Colours
One of the biggest stacking myths is that you should never mix metals. In reality, yellow gold, white gold and rose gold can look stunning together when styled thoughtfully. Mixing metals adds dimension and makes your jewellery feel more modern and versatile.
You can also use colour to elevate your stack. Subtle gemstone accents or enamel details can bring life to your jewellery and tie your whole outfit together. Especially during the winter season, stacked jewellery adds warmth and sparkle to cosy knits and festive outfits.
Stack With Me – Our Favourite Way to Inspire
At byJACKY, we love to share our passion for stacking with you in a more personal way. That’s why we regularly post “Stack With Me” videos, where we show different ways to combine our jewellery pieces. These videos are all about inspiration showing how one collection can be styled in endless ways, depending on mood, outfit or occasion.
From everyday minimal stacks to bold party-ready combinations, our Stack With Me videos prove that stacking is for everyone. There’s no right or wrong only what feels right for you.
Why Stacking Never Goes Out of Style
Unlike many fast-moving trends, stacking has real staying power. That’s because it evolves with you. You can change your stack every day, adapt it to the seasons, or refresh it as your personal style grows. Your jewellery becomes more than just an accessory it becomes part of your identity.
Stacking also allows you to make the most of the jewellery you already own. By combining pieces in new ways, old favourites suddenly feel brand new again.
