The Art of Stacking Bracelets

Stacking bracelets has become a hot trend! It’s referred to as “arm candy”, “arm party”, “wrist party”, and even “wrist swag”. In simplest terms, the definition of a “wrist party” is stacking many fabulous bracelets on one’s wrist. Just like there are an endless amounts of ways to throw a party, there is no shortage of looks and themes for creating your very own arm party! We’ve outlined a few tips for mastering the art of stacking bracelets.

Mix It Up 
Mix up looks, materials, designers, and color to create a unique stack of bracelets. You want your arm party to stand out and make a statement, so use different bracelets. Choose from bangles, beads, cuffs, studs, charm bracelets, and more. Start with a few basic bracelets and then mix in some fun pieces.

Add a Watch 
Stay on time and on trend by adding a watch to your pile of bracelets. From the popular menswear-style to a delicate and girly piece, any watch is a welcome guest at your wrist party. Where among your stacked bracelets you place your timepiece is all about your own personal style and comfort.

Coordinate with Your Plans 
Are you heading into the office or on your way out for the night? No matter what your plans are, stacking bracelets is acceptable for any occasion. For the office, choose more sophisticated and simple bracelets. Try out a monochromatic look, or rock all gold. You can get funkier with your night look. Mix in some different textures, such as leather, and even try out animal print!

 Be Eco-Friendly
Alex and Ani bracelets are perfect for stacking! They even come in sets that already combine different colors and textures! Not only does this line of expandable bracelets feature beautiful designs, it is also completely eco-friendly and made from recycled materials in the United States. Add some love of the Earth to your bracelet collection.

Alex and Ani: Eco-Friendly Design

Part of the concept of Alex and Ani is to create jewelry that is not only beautiful and memorable, but also has a positive impact on the world. The core concept of the company is to spread positive energy, which they couldn’t stand behind if they weren’t creating eco-friendly jewelry.

Alex and Ani jewelry is created with the belief that pure and natural things are the most beautiful. The jewelry is created from recycled materials, enriching its beauty. Not only are the pieces made using eco-friendly, recycled materials, but they are also made entirely in the United States. Alex and Ani purchases the metals from local mills that have recycled scraps from their refineries.

The belief behind the eco-friendly design is that it supports the environment and encourages social consciousness in each customer. Purchasing Alex and Ani bracelets not only improves your accessory game, but it also makes a difference in protecting our planet and our future.

The founder and creative designer of Alex and Ani, Carolyn Rafaelian, believes that making all the pieces here in America gives them a personalized warmth that you can’t find from certain products made overseas. She stands behind the idea that each piece is made with love, and wants to share the benefits of positive energy through the unique beauty and symbolism of Alex and Ani products.

Alex and Ani even researched the most effective ways of creating jewelry with the “vital force”. The vital force is referred to by many names: chi, prana, etheric energy, life force, zero point energy, homeopathic resonance, and more.



When you stack your wrists with Alex and Ani bracelets, you will not only be spreading the positive energy, but also spreading the good karma of eco-friendly design. Come to SWAG, a NorthPark jewelry store to shop all the latest jewelry trends and pick up your own set of expandable and eco-friendly bracelets.
