Winter 2012 Bracelet Stacking Trend

Some jewelry trends are hot and then fizzle away but this year we are seeing one favorite trend continue to grow and grow. The Bracelet stacking has gone crazy. You will see teenagers, young adult women, middle-aged women and even senior women sporting around this jewelry trend throughout the winter 2012 fashion season. Even on the Golden Globe awards, actresses wore 3-5 and more bracelets of various colors, stacked beautifully showing some gorgeous colors and enhancing their dresses.

Here are some tips how you can get the look!

* You can purchase several bracelets of varying widths...from thin chain styles to chunky bangle bracelets.

* Purchase bracelets made from varying materials from fashion metals, wood, enamel, plastic and everything in between. Really mix up those materials for a unique & customized look.

* When it comes to stacking your bracelets you want a minimum of 3 bracelets but 5 is preferred and you can stack up as many as you would like to wear on a single wrist! We have seen Hollywood stars stacking up as many as 10 beautiful bracelets on one single wrist!

* You can sport bracelets all from one color family or mix them up for coordinating and contrasting looks. There are really no rules when it comes to color so wear whatever colors or looks you like best to show your own unique style and look.

A fabulous way to show off this look is to take a simple dress in a solid color like black and bring in pops of color through the bracelet stacking. Or you can bring in a combination of glitz through rhinestones or crystals and colored gemstones. Pair it with some matching earrings and you are rocking the look!

Bracelet stacking is a fun and elegant way to wear your jewelry and one that we think will be around for a while, so enjoy it!
