In case you don’t know, I’m a huge jewerly lover!
I’ve spent years curating my collection, and I’m deeply passionate about all things accessories! I’ve always been a huge ring girl, but I’ve been super into bracelets over the past couple of years, especially since I have quite a collection of friendship bracelets from all kinds of concerts.
I feel like when it comes to bracelets, you’ll never catch me only wearing one; I’m always someone who stacks them. The art of curating the perfect stack is something that I’ve been trying to master for the past couple of years. I’m all about aesthetics, so I wanted to share with you how I curate the perfect bracelet stack.
If you’re not sure where to get cool girl jewerly, let me share this before we get into styling your stack:
5 Places To Find Cool Jewelry IRL
I’ve talked about my love for accessories on here countless times, but I do not think I’ve ever shared where I shop to find unique pieces. I always received a lot of compliments on my jewelry, and it always gives me a sense of pride since I’ve been curating my collection for years.
Here is one of my favorite bracelet stacks at the moment, inspired by my MagicMan 2 World Tour Tee.

Anyways, back to curating the perfect bracelet stack.
This is not sponsored, but if you are looking to add some bracelets to your collection, Bubblebar is currently having a massive sale, with $10 bracelets and other items up to 20% off. I purchased a few pieces to add to my collection, including some Disney ones.
Here are three things that I consider when it comes to putting together a bracelet stack:
Color Coordination
For me, it’s all about matching the vibe of the look. For example, if I’m wearing something red, I opt for a red bracelet and curate a stack around that color. You can see that super clearly in my photo I shared above.
I always use a combo of colors and neutrals. I love having colorful bracelets, but I always find that having at least one neutral bracelet to balance everything out is super helpful.
You can also choose colors that contrast or complement each other, giving your stack a ~cool girl~ look. Emily Polner | NYC Maximalist is an expert at this! She always wears the coolest color combos for her stack. When I was working on this, we happened to be together, so I decided to ask her for advice on how to curate the perfect bracelet stack, and she said, “ Don’t be afraid to mix colors and bead sizes.”
Textures
I want to talk about different textures when it comes to jewerly. Personally, I love to combine metal bracelets (gold, silver, rose gold) with beaded ones or a charm bracelet. I think it’s super fun and playful. Plus, beaded ones can be matte or shiny, so that would also be fun.
Some bracelets pair charms with regular beads, and that can add texture. The idea of bead separators can also add texture to a look. A bracelet with words could be super cute, next to just a simple beaded one. The options are limitless!
Last year, I went to Little Words Project with Mari and we did their bead bar, where you could create your own custom bracelet, and I made sure mine had a lot of fun texture to it.
Sizes
I love pairing a chunky bracelet with a thinner one. The juxtaposition of the sizes makes for an interesting and more whimsical look. It’s also super eye-catching, which will probably earn you a million compliments. As Emily said above, combining bead sizes is also a great way to add texture and size to your look.
Final Thoughts
At the end of the day, it’s all about having fun and creating something that feels authentic to you!
I asked my friend Mari, who always has an incredible bracelet stack, about how to curate the perfect stack, and her best piece of advice is to “Have fun with it! Choose pieces that align with you and your aesthetic/style.”
