Earring Stacking Is the New Jewelry Trend You Might Want to Try

Published Jan 25, 2017

When it comes to earrings, we’re usually not that adventurous. (Pearls, diamond studs, gold hoops, repeat.) But when we saw this jewelry trend cropping up all over our Pinterest feed, we were all ears (sorry). Of course, it requires multiple piercings (or trying out ear cuffs—more on that later. Here, five ways to stack your studs like a lady (which you can also find on our Pinterest jewelry board).

Combine Delicate Gold Hoops With A Stud

Go Uniform With Three Equal-sized Studs

These tiny diamonds are sophisticated enough for everyday wear.
