There’s nothing I love more than a good stack, and while I’m usually giving necklaces all the attention, your hands deserve some sparkle too! Hand stacks are all about layering rings, bracelets, and hand chains to create a look that’s unique and feels totally you. Here’s my guide to creating the ultimate BCJ-approved hand stack!
Step 1: Start with Your Bracelet Base
The foundation of any hand stack begins with your bracelets. I like to build a base with 2–3 everyday bracelets and then add one or two bolder pieces for interest.
My current bracelet rotation (summer edition!) includes:
- Sun Kissed Bracelet – light, golden, easy to wear and perfect for summer
- Aurelia Bangle – chunky but still minimal for that clean shine
- Golden Drift Bracelet – the little flowery touch every stack needs
- Azura Bangle – bold with a touch of turquoise
- Laguna Bracelet – different texture with a pearl pop to break up your stack
- Kie Bracelet – my go-to charm bracelet for the perfect finisher
Try mixing textures and shapes with your bracelets, for example a flat chain next to a chunky bangle adds instant depth!
Step 2: Add a Hand Chain for Extra Detail
Hand chains are such an underrated accessory. But they bring a whole stack together and instantly give your stack a styled-without-trying vibe. I love adding one to pull my whole hand stack together, it makes the bracelets and rings feel like part of a single look.
Current favourite hand chains include the Pearl Hand Chain and the Sequin Hand Chain.
Step 3: Stack Your Rings Like a Pro
Rings are where you can have the most fun and get the most creative. Mix delicate bands with chunky statement rings across different fingers for balance. Don’t be afraid to stack multiple rings on one finger, it adds height and visual texture. Alternate between smooth gold and textured, stone, or charm rings so each one stands out.
Current ring stacking favourites include… Leilani Ring, Cirena Ring in Aqua, Ammonite Ring, Azul Cowrie Ring and Jasmine Ring
Build Your Own Stack
The perfect hand stack is all about balance. If you’ve gone heavy on chunky rings, add in a more delicate bracelet, or flip it the other way. Add a charm bracelet for movement or slip in a piece with a pop of colour if you’re feeling bold.
Hand stacks are meant to be fun, personal, and ever-changing. Start with a few favourites, then keep layering and experimenting until it feels right.
Remember… your hand stack should feel like you. Swap pieces depending on your mood, your outfit, or even your star sign!
