How to Stack Earrings: The Ultimate Style Guide

Earring stacking is more than just a jewellery trend; it’s a creative way to express your personality. Whether you have a single piercing or multiple, stacking allows you to mix and match different styles, shapes, and sizes to curate a look that’s uniquely yours.

The Basics of Earring Stacking

Choosing the Right Piercings

While multiple piercings allow for more creativity, even one or two can be styled beautifully with the right combination of studs and cuffs.

Understanding Balance and Symmetry

The key to a stylish ear stack is balance. Mixing big and small earrings ensures your ear doesn’t look overcrowded.
