How to Make Your Perfect Earring Stack
Which earrings get along?
Like ears, everyone’s ear stack is unique! We’re never going to tell you exactly how to style your ears, but we’re here to help you find your ear stack personality! Here are a couple prompts to get you started:
1. Do you prefer gold or silver?
If there’s one you know you like over the other, run with it! Stack up the silver or go for the gold.
If you don’t know which you prefer, find the metal that best suits your skin tone! Silver tends to bring life to cooler skin tones, while gold makes warmer skin tones shine.
Love them both and just cannot bear to decide? Go for a mixed metal look! Contrary to popular belief, silver and gold do work well together!
White Gold is also a great option if you want the feel of gold and the look of silver.
2. Do you thrive in asymmetry?
Some people thrive in asymmetry, and some sparkle in symmetry.
For an asymmetrical stack, have fun with flat backs! Flat backs are often sold as single earrings, which is perfect for an asymmetrical stack.
Prefer a perfectly coordinated stack? Opt for two matching flat backs or one of our earring sets—designed to ensure symmetry and balance so you always have a matching pair, ready to wear.
3. Do you want to make a statement?
For a statement stack, start with the biggest statement maker in the main lobe piercing, whether you opt for bold studs or fun hoops. As you move up your ear, opt to make a statement through sparkle or color rather than size, as larger earrings can make the ear look crowded or weighed down when placed in helix piercings. Crawlers like our Beaded Flat Back are fun statement makers in the helix, or in more unique piercing placements such as the Conch.
For an understated stack, start with medium-sized studs, a smaller hoop, or even our minimal threaders (they’re a great way to add some spice to a dainty earring stack!). Moving up the ear, opt for minimal endless hoops or teeny tiny flat backs to complete your stack.
