Bracelet, Bangle, Stackable Bracelet
How many bangles in a stackable bangle bracelet? Answer: as many as you like. In fact the more – the better! If you watch all the celebrities and gorgeous famous people on TV at the moment, check out their wrists…. they’re loaded with cool, funky, chunky stackable bangle bracelets. Layers of bracelets and bangles in a massive variety of colour, texture and pattern. ‘Arm art’ that has the power to draw the eye and attract the gaze of many a jealous onlooker. Oh yes, that’s the look I want to have, we all say. I want to look as trendy as her – I want to wear this fabulous stackable jewellery so I can be modern and fashionable too.
As far as rules for stackable bangle bracelets go, there are none! Whatever your creative heart desires is all that you need to be guided by. Whether it’s to freshen up a tired outfit, or just to give yourself an emotional lift… it’s amazing what a new piece of bling can bring to your daily routine. All you have to do is to give it a go. Be brave and practice at home til you get the balance right. It’s not rocket science, but it is amazing how one stackable bangle bracelet set can transform the dress you’ve worn all day at the office… into a dazzling party-time show stopper at night. Woo hoo, you go girl!
Buying single, solitary bangles and bracelets is a good idea too. That way you can create different combinations by starting up your own collection. And don’t just stick to the safety of plain gold or silver…don’t forget there are some pretty exciting colours out there now and they can look stunning in a mix with your old favourites. Sometimes it pays to think outside the square a little and break free from your traditional type of jewellery choice. Then, whenever you buy a new piece of clothing, you can relax in the knowledge that you’ve got a good pool of bangles and bracelets at home to play ‘stacking’ trail and error with.
Another trick with stackable bangle bracelets is that you can mix things up a bit – wear beautiful, sedate vintage pieces with modern, bold patterned pieces. This look can be almost startling! And who says you can’t team cheap, costume bangles up with something expensive and valuable. I once wore my grandmother’s antique 18 carat gold bracelet with a whole bunch of different-sized twisted metal bangles with spiky studs and rhinestones embedded in them. Wow, it looked so glamorous - and groovy at the same time. I lost count of the number of compliments I received!
