Let’s talk ear stacks — officially our favourite way to show our personal style. Whether you’re obsessed with gold hoop earrings, love dainty gold stud earrings, or want to mix in some huggie earrings and drop earrings, ear stacks are all about creating a look that’s totally you with your favourite pieces.
How to Plan an Ear Stack
First things first—planning an ear stack is all about having fun and getting creative. Start with a statement piece. Maybe you’ve got a go-to pair of silver hoop earrings or a bold drop earring that you’re dying to wear. Use that as your anchor, and then build around it with smaller pieces from huggie earrings to stacking stud earrings.
Don’t be afraid to mix things up—combining different metals, like gold and silver, can add an edgy touch. And remember, balance is key! Keep the heavier, bolder earrings lower on your lobe and layer lighter pieces as you move up your ear.
Do Ear Stacks Have to Match? Should You Stack Both Ears?
Here’s the thing: ear stacks definitely don’t have to match. In fact, mismatched stacks are super on-trend right now. You can totally mix metals, shapes, and sizes. Try pairing gold stud earrings with silver hoops, or wear a drop earring on one ear and a minimalist stack on the other.
As for stacking both ears, it’s completely up to you. Want to go all out on one ear and keep it simple on the other? Do it. Prefer matching stacks on both sides? Go for it. There are no rules here!
But if you prefer a sleek, single-metal look, we’ve got you covered with a stunning selection of silver and gold stackable earrings.
Does the Bigger Earring Go in the First or Second Hole?
Usually, we put the bigger, more eye-catching earring (like a hoop earring or drop earring) in the first hole—that way it really stands out. Then, you can add smaller earrings like huggies or studs in the second and third holes for a more layered look.
How to Wear Earrings with 3 Piercings
If you’ve got three piercings, congrats—you’ve got a ton of styling options! Start with a medium or large earring in the first hole—maybe a chic silver hoop earring or a fun gold stud earring. For the second piercing, try something a little smaller, like a huggie. Then, for the third, go super subtle with a tiny stud or even a small drop earring if you want a little extra touch of drama.
The idea is to create a stacked, cascading effect. Think bigger at the bottom and more delicate as you go up.
How to Layer Ear Piercings
When layering your ear piercings, think of it as styling an outfit for your ears. Start with a statement piece—like a bold drop earring or a standout hoop earring—and layer in smaller pieces that complement it. You can play with shapes and textures, like pairing a sleek gold hoop with sparkly huggie earrings or mixing metals for a cool contrast.
Also, don’t forget about spacing. Give each piece a little room to shine, so your stack doesn’t feel overcrowded.
Building the perfect ear stack is all about mixing it up and having fun with your jewellery. Whether you’re into gold stud earrings, hoop earrings, or love experimenting with huggies and drop earrings, the key is to create a look that’s unique to you. So go ahead, stack your favourite pieces!
