Imagine a cool winter morning. The sun is just breaking through the fog, you’re putting on your favorite coat but something is missing – that last, striking detail that will make you shine. And that’s exactly when jewelry layering can help. You decide on some dainty chains, add a couple of elegant rings, maybe even a bracelet and you’re done! It’s an art that allows you to express yourself while accentuating your distinctive style.
Whether you’re a lover of new trends or you are just looking for a way to enliven your older jewelry pieces, layering offers endless ways to pair them and to give them a new look.
Start with one dominant piece
Layering your jewelry starts with choosing one main statement piece – it could be a chunky necklace or a statement ring to draw a bit of attention, for example. A striking piece of jewelry will serve as a base that you can add softer, more understated pieces to. Don’t be afraid to mix and match contrasts – a dainty chain can work very well with a chunky chain that accentuates the silhouette of your neck. The secret to success is to play with different lengths and sizes – shorter chains will create a more understated, demure foundation while longer ones will give you a more seductive look. Remember though that less is sometimes more, but the imagination knows no bounds.
Chunky rings are back in style
Dainty gold rings are not the stars of this season. One of the biggest trends of the moment is combining statement rings, often with gemstones. These are chunky rings that are back in style and it’s impossible not to notice them and to not fall in love with them at first sight. So our advice is don’t be afraid to mix and match different styles – perhaps one chunky ring on the middle finger and more understated, dainty rings on the others.
If you’re looking for rings that are specifically designed for layering then explore the Petite collection from Czech jewelry studio KLENOTA. It’s all about original handcrafted rings that are adorned with diamonds in less traditional cuts such as oval, pear, princess, emerald and heart.
Bracelets are a great way to layer
Layering bracelets is an unexpected hit, bringing a fresh wave of inspiration to the world of jewelry. This trend celebrates individuality and playing around with details – try combining multiple bracelets at once instead of having one dominant one. Pair dainty gold chain bracelets with bracelets that feature bold metals, pearl details or minimalist geometric shapes. The result is the ultimate chic look that elevates even the simplest outfit into something special. Don’t be afraid to break the classic “less is more” rule and let your creativity run wild.
The secret of this trend lies in a sophisticated mix of textures and styles that doesn’t look overdone but well thought through and refreshing. The key is to balance different sizes and materials – pair minimal bracelets with larger pieces, or combine different metals together. This innovative approach to jewelry is for those who aren’t afraid to bring a bit of sophistication and playful elegance to their style.
Ear cuffs: Something distinctive for the bold
Like the idea of layering earrings but want to try it without piercing your ears? The solution is ear cuffs – open earrings without a clasp that fit over the earlobe. Ear cuffs have been a big trend recently and although they look very minimal at first glance, once on the ear, they can accentuate the shape of the ear beautifully.
Try pairing a cuff with small studs or dainty drop earrings on the other ear for a balanced and stylish look. An ear cuff goes very nicely with simple hairstyles like a low ponytail or hair pinned to one side where you let it stand out. This is a piece of jewelry that takes layering to a whole new level.
Mix and match, explore, get inspired
Winter jewelry layering is all about creativity, elegance and a touch of luxury. Whether it’s fine chains, statement rings or bracelets, there are endless ways to wear and combine your jewelry. Play with different types of materials, lengths and textures to create combinations that harmonize and bring out your personality.
Winter is the season when the landscape starts to change, and with it, you can transform your style too. With KLENOTA jewelry you’ll shine every time, whether the morning is shrouded in fog or its the evening lights reflecting off your jewelry.
