How to Build the Perfect Ear Stack
3 minutes to read
Building an ear stack is an easy way to make your everyday jewellery feel a little more personal. Whether you prefer simple hoops and studs or like adding a bit more detail, it is really about finding pieces that work well together and suit your style.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when putting yours together!
|
Start with a favourite: Start with a pair you already love wearing. This might be a classic hoop, a small huggie or something with a little more detail. Use this as the main piece in your stack, then choose the rest of your earrings around it. Starting with one favourite makes it much easier than trying to choose everything at once. |

Gold, silver or both?
Sticking to gold or silver can create a more cohesive stack, but mixing metals can work just as well. If you usually wear one metal, try introducing a single piece in another to start. Mixing gold and silver is an easy way to add a little contrast while still keeping your everyday jewellery wearable.

Play with different sizes:
Using different sizes helps give your ear stack some balance. Try starting with a slightly larger earring in your first piercing, then gradually choosing smaller pieces as you move up the ear. A hoop paired with a smaller huggie hoop and a simple stud is an easy combination that works well for everyday wear.
Not sure where to start? Try working from largest to smallest.

Find what works for you: There is no exact formula for a good ear stack. Some people prefer a few simple pieces, while others like a fuller look with different shapes and details. Start with what you already wear, try a few different combinations and build from there. The best stack is one that feels like your own style. |

At the end of the day, your ear stack should feel like you. Start with the pieces you already love, try different combinations and have fun finding what works together. There are no set rules, so make it your own!
