Learn how to mix and match your jewellery for effortless style with our essential guide to layering. Whether you're a minimalist or a maximalist, jewellery layering can elevate your everyday look. This guide walks you through the foundational rules, styling inspiration, and Foxhills favourites.
1. The Basics of Jewellery Layering
Layering jewellery is all about contrast and coordination. You’ll want to vary chain lengths, textures, and materials to create dimension and balance. Start with a statement piece, then add subtle accents. The key is creating a look that feels intentional—not cluttered.
2. Layering Necklaces
For necklaces, try pairing a short choker with a mid-length pendant and a long chain. Avoid tangling by using necklace detanglers or spacers. Gold on gold always looks elegant, but don’t be afraid to mix metals if done with symmetry.
3. Stackable Rings
When stacking rings, play with widths—combine bold statement rings with thin bands. Mix gemstones with plain metal rings for a curated look. Consider choosing one focal finger to avoid an overly busy look.
4. Layering Bracelets & Bangles
From cuffs to tennis bracelets, layering wristwear is easy with varying textures. Combine chain bracelets with beaded ones or bangles. Keep it asymmetrical for an artsy vibe or mirrored for a cleaner style.
5. Do’s and Don’ts
Do: Mix textures, metals, and weights. Don’t: Overload one area or let pieces tangle. Do: Let one standout piece shine. Don’t: Forget comfort—layered jewellery should still be wearable.
