Five Ways To Stack Your Bangles And Bracelets
The ultimate way to nail layering your jewellery? It’s all about bangles and bracelets. From chunky bangles to delicate styles, diamond-set to sleek in silver, it’s time to start stacking. We’re mixing designs, motifs, colours, and more to create the bangle and bracelet stacks of our dreams.
We’ve curated some of our favourite silver bangles, gold bangles, and diamond bangles to make sure you have everything you need to let your stack do the talking. Whether you’re starting from scratch or already have some pieces in your jewellery box that would be perfect for layering, discover our five flawless ways to stack your bangles.
We’re in love with this statement aesthetic that’s taking over our Pinterest boards and earning its rightful place on the catwalk. So this season, we’re going all-out on our new styling obsession, and you’re invited.
"Bangles have been a jewellery staple for a while now, and since this year is all about making a statement, we say stack the sparkle! My styling tip? Concentrate on a maximalist bangle and add complementing styles, or go for a few styles with something in common. Whether it's the metal, gemstone or design, at least one co-ordinating detail is key to making sure your bangle stack looks thoughtfully curated.” - Courtney, Jewellery Buyer.
Co-ordinate your colours
Is gold your colour? Curate your stack with an array of yellow gold bangles and bracelets, for a truly radiant finish. When sticking to one metal or tone, contrast the other elements of your bangles. This means you can let your imagination run wild with designs and motifs; pair a delicate yellow gold bangle with a bangle that showcases a twist design, experiment with shapes and widths, or go iconic with a designer logo. Don’t be afraid to showcase your favourite gemstones for a truly lustrous finish.

We love the way our Beaverbrooks Brand Ambassador Debbie has layered her 9ct Yellow Gold Diamond Bangle and Essence 9ct Yellow Gold and White Gold Diamond Bangle with this Yellow Gold Plated Freshwater Cultured Pearl Bracelet. Combining 9ct yellow gold with dazzling diamonds and enchanting pearls, we can’t think of a more luxurious stack!
Top Tip: Choose your gold bangles in other tones too. You can match your 9ct yellow gold bangles with pieces crafted in white gold or rose gold.
2. Experiment with shapes and textures
When it comes to stacking bangles, we know that opposites attract. Curate your bangle stack with different shapes and textures, and choose from chunky bangles, dainty bracelets and stone-set pieces to give your bangle stack the audacious edge you’re looking for. We love bangles for their bold silhouettes, so make sure to embrace this when styling. Try a bangle with a double band, bracelets with a continuous row of gemstones or motifs, or pieces with twists and curve designs, and switch up your shapes in no time.
With an array of motifs to love, discover diamond bangles from our Essence by Beaverbrooks and Entwine by Beaverbrooks diamond collections. We’ve matched this Essence 9ct Yellow Gold Diamond Wave Bangle with this Entwine 18ct Yellow Gold Diamond Bangle and this Essence 9ct Yellow Gold and White Gold Diamond Bangle for a stack made in plenty of sparkle!
What makes these diamond bangles so special? Their beautiful designs each represent something sentimental. The link design symbolises the connections we keep close, the twist design reflects our unbreakable bonds, and the curve motif represents each of life’s ups and downs. So you can take on this trend with treasure-forever jewellery that will never go out of style.
3. Add a pop of colour
Want to make your bangle stack standout? Add lots of rich colour with your bangles and bracelets. Whether it’s with a coloured gemstone, a vibrant motif, or you’re mixing the tones of your bands, it’s the perfect wat to create a show-stopping finish, especially if you like a colourful theme. To keep it chic, try and find something that your bangles have in common such as width and shape, if not the colour or metal. The key is to make your stack look intentional and carefully curated, not clashing.
A classic bangle and bracelet stack needs a staple bracelet, and what better way to add some colourful sparkle than with a beautiful tennis bracelet? This 9ct White Gold Diamond Gemstone Tennis Bracelet showcases diamond, garnet, blue topaz, peridot, citrine, tourmaline, amethyst stones to make your stack shine with indulgent colour. Just look at that glow!
Top Tip: If you want to stack your bangles with the same metals but different tones, you can achieve this by pairing yellow gold and the silvery tones of white gold. Or, opt for a sterling silver bangle with a gold plated one.

4. Add a statement piece
Take on this trend with a stunning statement piece. Whether it’s a bold design, one that showcases vibrant colour, or a diamond bangle that’s full of sparkle, curate your stack with a focal point, and make sure your statement bangles is placed in the middle of your stack. Once you’ve selected your bangle or bracelet that’s going to be your stand-out piece, we love adding complementing, minimalist styles alongside it to make sure your main piece is still the star of the show.
This 9ct Yellow Gold, White Gold and Rose Gold Twist Bangle is our statement bangle in this stack. With a twist design and mix of yellow gold, rose gold, and white gold, we love how this piece showcases each tone with intertwined bands. Complementing our statement bangle is this 9ct Yellow Gold Bangle and this Gucci GG Running 18ct Yellow Gold Cuff Bangle, the perfect delicate styles to match the stunning centre piece.

5. Turn your timepiece into a sparkling stack
Stacking bangles and wearing your favourite timepiece definitely aren’t mutually exclusive. Want to layer your pieces whilst keeping your watch on your wrist? No problem, we’re here for it. To get this look, choose a timepiece that has a jewellery-like feel to it: think small case sizes, dainty proportions, and a delicate metal bracelet. Once you’ve got a watch in mind, it’s time to add your bangles. Consider the tones of your watch when choosing the metal of your bangles, and layer at each side until you’ve got your desired look.
