4 min read

Are you tired of wearing the same old jewelry pieces every day? Do you want to elevate your style and add a touch of creativity to your look? The art of layering is the solution you're looking for! Layering art jewelry is a fun and creative way to add depth, texture, and personality to your outfit.

Art jewelry is the perfect accessory to experiment with layering, as it often comes in unique and unusual shapes, sizes, and colors. Here's how you can mix and match jewelry pieces to create a unique and fashionable look.

Start with a Statement Piece
The first step in layering art jewelry is to start with a statement piece. This is usually the largest or most eye-catching piece of jewelry that you want to showcase.

It can be a necklace, bracelet, or pair of earrings, such as the Frank Lloyd Wright Art Glass Earrings. These earrings are the perfect statement piece, with their intricate stained glass design and elegant brass finish. They are sure to catch the eye and start a conversation.

Mix and Match Styles
Once you have your statement piece, it's time to mix and match different styles of art jewelry. Don't be afraid to mix metals, textures, and colors. For example, you can pair the Frank Lloyd Wright Art Glass Earrings with the Wave Pewter Pendant. The natural pewter finish and circular pattern of the pendant create a nice contrast with the angular design of the earrings.

Layer with Minimalism
While layering jewelry is all about being creative and bold, it's also important to balance it out with some minimalism. Add some simple and delicate pieces to your layered look, such as the Pierced Rectangular Earrings. These earrings add a touch of elegance to the overall look without taking away from the statement pieces.

Mix and Match Lengths
Layering art jewelry is not just about mixing and matching styles and textures, but also about mixing and matching lengths. Play around with different lengths of necklaces, bracelets, and earrings to create a dynamic and interesting look. For example, you can pair the Frank Lloyd Wright Art Glass Earrings with a long, delicate necklace or a chunky bracelet.

Experiment with Color
When layering jewelry, don't shy away from experimenting with color. You can mix and match bright and bold colors or create a more monochromatic look. Take inspiration from the Frank Lloyd Wright Art Glass Earrings and pair them with a blue or green necklace or bracelet to complement the colors in the stained glass design.

You can also try incorporating pieces like these Color Wheel Earrings which feature eight different hues, providing a colorful addition to your overall look. These handcrafted wheels, inspired by the colorless glass vase in Louis Comfort Tiffany's Long Island estate, overlap and turn like gears to channel light from underneath the vase, creating an ever-changing vase of glowing color.

Alternatively, for a unique and artistic touch, the Pollock's Ghosts Earrings take inspiration from Jackson Pollock's studio and the splats and drips of paint on his studio floor. These earrings feature a giclee print and hang approximately 2"L, with French ear wires plated hematite. With these art jewelry pieces, the possibilities for experimenting with color are endless.

Elevate Your Style with Art Jewelry Layering
In conclusion, layering jewelry is a fun and creative way to elevate your style and add a touch of personality to your outfit. Remember to start with a statement piece, mix and match styles, layer with minimalism, mix and match lengths, and experiment with color.

By following these tips and using unique and creative pieces of art jewelry you'll be sure to turn heads with your layered look.
