Layered Jewelry

Layering jewelry an easy way to create an interesting, one-of-a kind look. Anyone with a few bucks in their pocket can buy a set of bangles at Forever 21; but pile on various other bracelets from your collection & you've got your own, special look. I've done a lot of bracelet stacking, but recently I've been wanting to experiment with layering necklaces and rings. The beauty of layering is that each piece doesn't have to be perfectly matching. You can use different colors, textures, and materials to invent a combination that's unique & adventurous, but still put together & pretty. Here are some layered looks that inspired me, & also a few of my own creations.

Rings

Pictures: Hey Crazy; a glamourous little side project

I got this very cool emerald & mother of pearl ring in Costa Rica in January. Last week I realized I don't wear it near as much as a should! When thinking how to style it, I decided a stacked look would be cool; but looking through my ring collection, I really didn't have much to choose from =( Now I'm making it a goal to add some better rings to my repertoire so that I can start rocking the layered rings look.
