LAYERING JEWELLERY

If you're planning to layer jewellery, it's usually best to pick one site on the body to focus on. Bracelets, necklaces and rings are perfect for layering in your focal location, be it your neck, wrists or fingers. Check out our layering necklaces: a selection of our necklaces that we think are great for layering.  Shop for jewellery in Australia If your starting point is a necklace, then look at layering different necklaces with it. If you're layering necklaces then choose different lengths with the aim of drawing the eye up to your face. Different shapes, colours and textures will often work well for layered necklaces. If you're starting with a ring, then you'll be layering on your fingers or perhaps your wrist on the same hand. That doesn't mean you can't also wear small pieces of jewellery elsewhere, but aim for these pieces on other body sites to be more subtle so they don't draw attention away from your focal point. For bracelets you could wear a jumble of similar pieces, such as a set of bangles with different patterns or colours that will jangle as you move. Alternatively choose one standout piece and wear it with a collection of more subtle designs in bracelet or bangle form. Layered necklaces are generally worn at different lengths, from choker to opera or longer. Generally choose an odd number of necklaces (3 or 5 will be great) with different or adjustable lengths, but sometimes just 2 necklaces will work well too. Wear necklaces which have some contrast between them in terms of shapes, colours or texture. Alternatively choose a standout focal piece and the others will be more subtle. Check out our necklace extenders in silver and gold to help make the most of your necklaces in this way. For rings you can wear an array of stacking rings to layer them. Consider choosing one colour of metal but varying the styles and textures. Alternatively pick different metal colours but with a similar style. Or go all out and mix and match an array of different metal colours, gemstones, textures and sizes (including adding one or more cocktail rings). Wearing an odd number of rings on one hand and an even number on the other is a fun thing to do.
