Bracelets stacking allows you to express your style and look by pairing different bracelets together. Stacked bracelets pair well with almost any look. Mix and match bracelets of varying sizes, materials, and colors to get the look you're going for.

View Bracelets Stacks for Men

You can pair chunky metal bracelets with thick leather ones for an edgy rocker look. If you want something more feminine, you can choose lighter colors mixed with beaded bracelets, bangles, and string bracelets.

Here are a few tips to consider when stacking bracelets:

Pick a focal point

Consider the focal point first for an excellent bracelet stack and build around that with the rest of the bracelets. This will accent your main piece while creating a rich, textured look. Choose a bracelet you love and one that matches well with your outfit. When you identify the main piece, you can get other bracelets that highlight it without overwhelming the focal point. Some good options for focal point pieces are watches, leather bracelets, or metal cuff bracelets. 

Add accents

Once you've selected your focal point bracelet, you can go for accent pieces that complement it. The accent bracelets don't need to match the exact piece. The stack will look more appealing when you mix things up and get creative.

Mix materials

Anything goes when stacking bracelets; mixing different materials with different textures makes for a visually interesting combination. That means you can mix beads, metals, and leather with gemstones and whatever other combination you want.

Play with color

Use color in your bracelet stacks to make creative combinations. A color family for all the bracelets will give you a monochromatic look. The color should complement your outfit and stand out for a noticeable look. 

When it comes to men's stacked bracelets, there's no one-size-fits-all approach. When putting together pieces, let your style shine. Most importantly, experiment with different combinations.

Good and evil powers cut across history, culture, and religions. The fear of such evil has led many cultures to seek out various forms of protection - one of which has been the evil eye. For ages, women have turned to Evil Eye necklaces, rings and jewelry to ward off negative energy and any evil powers directed toward their lives.

The Evil Eye

The evil eye is a symbol first recorded by the Mesopotamians over 5000 years ago. It's also believed that it may have originated even earlier during the upper Paleolithic age. The symbol cuts across the major religions: Hindu, Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. That would make you think the world is just a small village, and no matter the distance, all people seem to have similar thinking.

What's the meaning of the evil eye?

The evil eye is a curse that many believe is cast by someone jealous just by looking at you. It could also be some other negative energy directed toward someone who is not aware. Different cultures believe that such evil energy directed at a person will cause misfortunes, injury, or bad luck.

Benefits of the evil eye jewelry

Offers protection: It’s believed that when you wear evil eye jewelry, you're protected from evil spirits and other harmful forces like the malevolent stare, which is known to inflict pain and suffering to the unsuspecting.

Brings about good luck: As you're dazzling in women's evil eye jewelry, you're bestowed good luck, health, and happiness.

Has great vibes: The blue in the evil eye radiates positive energy and great karma. The light blue color within the evil eye represents the sky, which symbolizes the truth and it's considered a force of protection against the evil eye.

The evil eye color meaning

There are multiple interpretations of evil eye jewelry color. Generally, blue represents good karma and positive energies like creativity and motivation. Light blue symbolizes truth, broadens your horizons, and provides protection against the evil eye.

Evil eye jewelry has existed for ages and every generation finds something special in it. The jewelry may come in different forms, but the colors and the eye remain the same.
