Tips for Layering Christian Jewelry with a Story

Introduction

Jewelry has always been a powerful means of self-expression, allowing individuals to showcase their unique style and faith. One of the most captivating trends in the world of accessories is the art of layering jewelry. Whether you're a minimalist seeking subtle elegance or a maximalist aiming to make a statement, layering jewelry offers endless possibilities to express yourself. 

1. Start with a Solid Foundation

Just like building a house, creating a beautifully layered jewelry look starts with a strong foundation. This foundation typically includes staple pieces that you wear every day, such as a cross, a simple everyday bracelet, or classic stud earrings. These timeless pieces form the base upon which you can build your layered look.

2. Mix and Match Metals

Gone are the days of adhering to a single metal tone. Mixing metals is a trend that's here to stay. Combining gold, silver, rose gold, and even trendy metals like nano-ceramic colored coatings can create a visually interesting and dynamic layered jewelry ensemble. Just be sure to balance the metals to achieve a cohesive look.

3. Vary the Lengths

When layering necklaces, play with varying lengths to create depth and dimension.  Starting with a dainty piece, like the Plus Cross, as your shortest piece and gradually add longer necklaces to create a cascading effect. This technique is not only visually appealing but also helps each piece shine on its own, telling a story.

4. Balance Statement Pieces with Simplicity

Our designs focus on storytelling, so knowing the purpose of your message, you can add a statement necklace, like the Modern Empty Tomb or The Lion and the Lamb.  

 5.Experiment with Textures and Materials

Layering jewelry isn't just about mixing metals and lengths; it's also about experimenting with textures and materials. Incorporate different colors into your layered look for added depth and intrigue.  Our newly release Color Pop Collection helps add depth- blue, green fuchsia and more colors to come!

6. Consider Your Neckline

When layering necklaces, take your outfit's neckline into account. V-neck or scoop-neck tops pair well with layered necklaces, while high-necked styles may call for longer, statement pieces. Adjust your jewelry choices to complement your clothing for a polished look.

7. Don't Forget About Stacking

Layering doesn't stop at necklaces and bracelets; stacking rings is another excellent way to create a personalized and stylish look. Mix and match different styles, metals, and gemstones to create a unique combination that reflects your personality.

8. Embrace Asymmetry

Don't be afraid to embrace asymmetry when layering jewelry. While balance is essential, a slightly asymmetrical arrangement can add an element of surprise and intrigue to your overall look. Play around with various combinations until you find what feels right for you. The Lion and the is a "dog tag" style, the Brave & Bold is "rectangular" and the Affirmation Tag Set is a Collection on it's own.

9. Consider the Occasion

Lastly, think about the occasion when layering jewelry. A casual day out may call for a relaxed and eclectic look, while a formal event may require a more curated and elegant approach. Adjust your jewelry choices to suit the context and dress code.  Adding our Open Cross to complete a black dress , or the Red Sea Parting with a Simple Tee and Blazer instantly tells a story on an otherwise blank canvas!

Conclusion

Layering jewelry is a captivating way to express your individuality and elevate your style. By mixing metals, varying lengths, balancing statement pieces with simplicity, experimenting with textures and materials, and considering your outfit and the occasion, you can master the art of layering jewelry. Remember, there are no strict rules in this creative process; it's all about what feels right and resonates with your personal style. So, don't be afraid to experiment and have fun with your jewelry collection, creating unique, layered looks that reflect your personality and fashion sensibilities.

P.S.  Kellie's absolute favorite layering "stack" is the plus cross and empty tomb.  Alone, the plus cross means there is more to come.  Together it tells the story of Sacrifice to Hope, Look Up HE is coming back soon.  Go and tell the world!

Many Blessings,
