STYLE GUIDE 6 MINS READ TRENDING
There's a reason 'more is more' has become a bona fide jewellery philosophy. Stacking — layering multiple pieces on the same wrist, ankle, or finger — creates a curated, personal look that no single statement piece can achieve. And silver, with its cool versatility, is the perfect canvas.
Whether you're heading to the office, a festive gathering, or a beach holiday, here's how to stack with style.
The Three Rules of Stacking
RULE 1: Anchor with one statement piece
Every great stack needs an anchor — one piece that carries the visual weight. For bracelets, this might be a wide cuff or a piece with stonework. For anklets, a kada or a heavier chain. Build around this piece with lighter, thinner additions.
RULE 2: Mix textures, not chaos
Variety in texture is what makes a stack interesting. Combine a smooth chain with a twisted rope design, or a plain band with a beaded piece. The contrast creates rhythm. What you want to avoid is stacking pieces that are all identical — it loses the layered effect.
RULE 3: ODD numbers work best
Design principle: three or five pieces feel intentional. Two can look accidental; four can look cluttered. Start with three and work outward if your wrist can take it.
"The best stack is the one that feels like an extension of yourself — not something you put on, but something you build over time."
Stacking Bracelets: The Chandesa Way
Start with the Cubes Bracelet as your anchor — its geometric weight commands attention. Add one or two open bracelets on either side. For a daytime look, keep the pieces delicate. For evenings, go bolder with a third piece that features some detailing.
Don't be afraid to stack on both wrists — an asymmetric stack on one wrist with a single statement piece on the other is a sophisticated choice that works for weddings, office events, and casual outings.

Stacking Anklets: India's Favourite
Anklets — pajeb — have always been central to Indian jewellery tradition, and the stacking trend has made them more relevant than ever. The key with anklets is weight variation: pair a light chain anklet with a slightly heavier regular anklet, and finish with a kada anklet on special occasions.
• Everyday stack: One light-weight anklet on each ankle — effortless and delicate
• Festive stack: Light anklet + regular anklet on one ankle, single piece on the other
• Bridal stack: All three — light, regular, and kada — worn together for maximum impact
Ring Stacking: Finger by Finger
Silver rings lend themselves beautifully to stacking. Mix open rings, adjustable rings, and fixed-size bands across different fingers. The midi ring (worn at the middle joint) adds a modern edge. Toe rings — a quintessential Indian jewellery tradition — are a category unto themselves and stack beautifully too.
Pro Tips for the Perfect Stack
• Keep metals consistent — don't mix silver and gold in the same stack unless you're going for a deliberate mixed-metal look
• Consider occasion: keep it minimal for office, go fuller for weddings and festivals
• Store stackable pieces separately to avoid tangling
• 925 silver pieces stack better long-term because they retain their shine — imitation pieces tarnish unevenly and ruin the effect
