How to Layer your
Jewellery this Summer
Elevate your accessory game with our ultimate guide to summer jewellery layering.
This season, key pieces reference sculptural forms and tactile finishes—meticulously crafted to reinvent the way you layer.
From sparkling, foundational pieces to over-the-top statement styles: read on to learn how to curate the perfect ring stack, master the art of necklace layering, and everything in-between
What is layered
jewellery?
Put simply, jewellery layering refers to the art of combining two or more pieces to express your own unique style.
From stacked bracelets and bangles; an artful scattering of rings; layered necklaces or a bespoke ear gallery—a custom combination of multi-wear jewels will elevate any outfit, adding depth and dimension with assorted textures, profiles and finishes.
At Mimco, our jewellery is available in a variety of gold, silver and rose gold metal finishes so you can curate a stacked jewellery look you love. Plus, many of our jewels feature 14 or 18 karat gold plating for a high-shine, premium finish.
the art of stacking
bracelets and bangles
Have your very own wrist party moment with our collection of stackable bracelets and bangles.
Nailing the bracelet stack is all about experimenting with different colours, profiles and textures for a nonchalant, yet put-together look. To build your stack, kick things off with a simple chain bracelet. Next, add a bangle or cuff, and finish with a statement chunky bracelet guaranteed to catch their eye. Odd numbers are always more appealing—start with three and stack from there!
Feel free to mix and match metals as you please: we’ve got plenty of rose gold, gold and silver bracelets and bangles you’ll love.
Mastering necklace
layering
Want to learn how to wear a layered necklace look? Mastering necklace layering is all about balance and proportion, with a sprinkle of personality and intrigue.
Necklace layering 101: begin with a simple, medium-length rose gold, silver or gold necklace. This will form the base layer, acting as the foundation for your stack. Next, add a shorter, choker-length piece that sits high on the neck. We love styles with a touch of unexpected texture or intricate detailing. Finally, finish the look with a longer charm or pendant necklace to add dimension. We recommend leaving around an inch of space between each necklace for a proportionate layered look. And make sure each piece differs in length, profile or texture so every element adds something fresh!
This rule of three is practically foolproof, and a great place to start if you’re new to the necklace layering game.
statement earrings to
complete your
summer look
This season is all about the statement earring: think unapologetically bold, oversized profiles designed to maximise your summer jewellery look.
From larger-than-life hoops to embellished drop earrings, we've got plenty of iconic earrings for summer and beyond. Tap into the statement earring obsession with eye-catching details: from iridescent glass crystals, metal fringing, oversized pearl beads, custom-cut acrylic and more.
Have multiple piercings? Lucky you—more room to play! Curate a bespoke ear gallery by selecting a statement earring for your main lobe piercing, and adding assorted studs or hoops in your other piercings for extra sparkle.
creating stylish
ring stacks
We adore a layered ring look—it’s the ultimate way to show off your collection!
A winning ring stack begins with your dream ring combination. Select a handful of pieces to mix and match, experimenting with various weights, shapes and textures. You can mix and match your metals, too: we love pairing warm-toned gold rings with cool-toned silver rings for a modern look.
Start with a statement or larger ring at the base of one finger, stack a finer ring on top, and add a third ring on another finger. Once you've got this foundational stack sorted, feel free to edit as you please!
Top tip: leave at least one finger on each hand bare for a balanced look.
