Rules of Bracelet stacking

Number bracelets

We recommend that when creating a bracelet stack, the rule of thumb to follow is to keep the stack 1/3 up your forearm. Three is the lucky number. By having this number of bracelets, it creates the perfect balance and will add the perfect amount of sophistication to your look.

Mixing Materials

Think about the order

Stacking bracelets isn’t always as easy as simply throwing them on. The order you stack your bracelets depends on a lot of things: the weight, the fit and the textures. It is a good idea to always stack heaviest and tight-fitting bracelets closest to your hand, the other bracelets can then rest on top of it.

Another good idea when stacking bracelets is to pick a focal point. The best way to do this is by picking a high-quality bracelet that stands out among other pieces. You can also pick a colourful piece, interesting material, or even a watch to be the statement bracelet. Then, pick other bracelets around the focal piece that compliments the overall look.

How to stack bracelets without tangling

Stacking bracelets is such a fun trend however, tangling comes along side with the high fashion look. With some assistance, you can keep them neat and stylish.

One way to keep the bracelets from tangling is by choosing ones with similar closure style. For example, clasps or stretch. Another thing to avoid is overly long or loose design that can intertwine. How you are layering your bracelets can help avoid the tangling, place the thicker or more structured pieces at the bottom and add more delicate pieces on top. This makes the stack sturdier and keeps everything in place.

When removing your bracelets, try to do this gently. By twisting your wrists slowly when trying to undo the clasp on the bracelet. This can help prevent them from catching on one another.
