Stack-O-Metre Bracelet Edition: How high can you go?

 

My love for stackable jewellery trend is well and truly documented on this blog and on instagram. Gold against silver, dainty against the bulk, refined against the rough and texture against the smoothness, the more we diversify the composition the better. Layering jewellery upon jewellery provides us a sense of individuality that no one else is wearing the very same piece. Sure you might be able to spot an odd H&M bangle here and there but by piling on the layers the style is entirely of your own creation. We layer depending on our moods, our spontaneity and our sense of adventure. We layer to build a chapter to create a story. Is there a limit to how many you can stack? The real question is, how far can you go?

More is more, layer it up Delta!

There is no such thing as too much. I adore how Delta Goodrem layered her jewellery here and it hits the spot when it comes to the layered jewellery trend.

 Without running the risk of looking too overburden, the only statement piece of jewellery that stood out immediately is her long dangling multi-layered earring (as opposed to two) and that is despite seeing at least 17 different combinations of jewellery here. She kept the necklaces dainty, consistent and at different lengths so it doesn't interfere with the earring. Additionally, the monochrome outfit is brightened up by the textured, colourful bracelets and chunky rings, altering the look from work smart to photographically stylish.

Light up my Life: Allumer-esque

Inspire. Stack. Collect. Create.

Natasha Leith-Smith's humble beginnings is certainly one to inspire and depicts an untold story of love, friendship and sharing. 

What originally started off as a handmade bracelet gift to a best friend (with a little help from a friend of a friend who ended up blogging about the bracelet in fashion bible Vogue) turned the brand into a wildfire of worldwide recognition and award winning-triumph,  and right there and then, Allumer was born...

    The classic friendship cord bracelets is one of Allumer's earliest creations and my absolute favourite. Delicate, dainty and playful, the ability to select and create your own combinations allows you to cater for your own personality types and personal preferences. Allumer's clever interchangeable charms and a wide variety of colour cords makes each bracelet unique, original and entirely your own. And also, obsessively collectable.

What first drawn me to Allumer is the versatility of all the collections available on her website. You can turn the necklace into a bracelet, take the charms off from the bracelet and layer it on to your necklace and vice versa, layer or wear it on its own depending on your mood. The feeling is that you are buying not just one piece but of several. 

The cords comes in a rainbow of colours, my particular favourite are black, brown and royal blue as it suits everyday outfits and occasions. You can choose a cut-out of your charms (flame, heart or plain) in either 9ct rose, white or yellow gold and a pendant shape (in pill, rectangle, oval and flame). The matchbox packaging is original and appropriately symbolic to the definition of Allumer, meaning to light up in French... As for the match...that's another blog post and another story.  

Ahh options aplenty, I'll be playing with the combinations before deciding with a purchase. The choices are limitless.
