Fit for a princess
Channel your inner princess with a tiara. It should steal the show, so keep other accessories to a minimum.

Try experimenting
If a tiara proves too much, a diamond headpiece also looks great with an up-do. Experiment with oversized brooches in tousled hair.

Stacking jewellery
The secret to stacking bracelets and rings is being confident enough to mix different metals—white, yellow and pink gold. Don’t hold back.

How to layer
Layering necklaces is different to stacking bracelets. They have different weights, so it’s good to keep the bigger ones lower. Chokers and chains go further up to balance out the look.

Pin it on
A fun way to mix bejewelled brooches into your winter wardrobe is by adding them to cardigans or other chunky knits—and the more the merrier.

More is more
Ear cuffs are great if you’re wearing a modest neckline. They add sparkle and don’t look too busy. Stack them with studs or use them to complement drop earrings.
