Here’s how to wear your jewelry in 2025, according to an expert.
Minimalism has long dominated the fashion world. Today, the trend is towards “loud luxury”, or maximalism. This means putting away your minimalist jewelry or combining it with larger accessories. But how to go about it? According to Margaux Gripon, founder of the jewelry brand Okan Studio“There are no rules. The important thing is that there is harmony and something that emerges“, she says Women’s Journal. So you can never go wrong, but it can be difficult to know where to start. Here are some tips for mastering the technique of the year: jewelry layering.
First of all, forget the idea that gold and silver don’t mix! Long considered a fashion faux pas, it has, for several years, been the style to adopt. Not only does the combination of colors allow you to wear your favorite jewelry, but it also gives pep to an outfit. So don’t hesitate to mix metals and especially jewelry styles boldly!
However, there are some tips to know. To perfect the layering of necklaces, it is best to start with a choker, then work your way towards the neckline with increasingly larger necklaces. You can also combine them with different types of necklaces: pearls, pendants, or even encrusted with precious stones. They bring a touch of color and fantasy. There is also a technique for combining necklaces without them getting tangled. Just tie them together!
You can’t go wrong with rings either. In small sizes or in XXL, don’t hesitate to combine them and put them on all your fingers! Margaux Gripon, however, recommends letting certain strong pieces breathe: “If I have a very large ring, like the fist ring, I will generally leave it alone and instead have fun stacking them on the other hand to have a highlight on the ring. There are rings which are quite imposing and which lose their strength with accumulation”she told us.
As for the earrings, it is possible to layer them with ear rings! The jewelry designer advises to first experiment with asymmetry by gradually leaving your comfort zone. “For a look that you don’t see anywhere else, I recommend focusing on asymmetry and accumulation of pieces. What I often recommend is putting an ear sculpture on one side and an ear ring on the other“, she explains to us.
The same goes for bracelets. The trend of the moment? The headlines. So don’t hesitate to grab some imposing bracelets and mix them with more minimalist ones. Here too, you can mix colors and textures!
