3. Don’t Be Afraid To Add Some Color
Adding a pop of color is a sure-shot way to make your bracelet stack look visually appealing. You can simply throw in bracelets with gemstones such as emeralds, amethysts, rubies, etc., or choose a piece that combines color and a meaningful design. Choosing an olive branch bracelet or an infinity link bracelet, for example, is the easiest way to go about this.
Just be sure to pick gemstones from the same color palette for your bracelet stack. This will create an interesting monochromatic look and elevate the style quotient of your stack.

4. Experiment With Metals
Let’s assume you have two favorite bracelets. One is crafted in yellow gold, whereas the other piece is crafted in rose gold. Does this mean you can’t wear both of them together? Absolutely NOT!
Bracelet stacks are all about you, your personal style and preferences. As long as your stack tells your story, it’s completely okay to mix your metals. In fact, adding different metals will strike a lovely contrast and spice up the look of your stack.
Having said that, try to stick to only two metal hues at a time – this could be rose gold and white gold, rose gold and yellow gold, yellow gold and white gold and so on.

Mixing unique diamond bracelets and bangles of various shapes and sizes will not only showcase each bracelet by separating them but also add variety to your arrangement. As a general rule, if you have a thick statement bangle or a cuff, even it out with two thin, dainty bracelets.
You can also switch up the look of your stack by playing around with different bracelet styles. Pair similar styles or layer dressier pieces with a more casual vibe to help balance your look. Either way, the choice is yours!
