Am I the only person without a bracelet stack?!

I’m so crap at jewellery. Necklaces annoy me, I only wear wedding/engagement/eternity rings - they are tiny and probably some would scoff at the stone size, but anything big on me looks daft.

would really like to build a decent bracelet stack that doesn’t look like cheapo costume stuff…

any tips?

I’d love a bracelet stack but my wrists are too big. I need upwards of 20cm length ideally. I can just about close a 20cm bracelet but they are rare enough. Does anyone know where to find longer ones?

John Garland Taylor, I get mine from there.

I am sure they would make you a slightly bigger one if you emailed them.

I love bracelets but have really small wrists, so tend to have to opt for adjustable ones. I would love the bangle look. Any tips on bangles for small wrists, but not necessarily tiny hands? :)

Actually I rather like those bangles babies often get put in - the adjustable ones? Not a baby jewellery fan AT ALL but wonder if you can get for adults…🤔🤔

Bracelets and bangles especially are a nightmare for me. I have every small hands and if they are not elastic, tight or properly fitted they just slip off. The only one i wear regularly is my pandora charm bracelet which was bought in the correct size.

I have small wrists aswell and I have a couple of small bracelets / bangles from Pandora, they usually have a variety of sizes for each item so I get very neat fitting ones

@bge I get what you mean! Just feeling a bit Plain Jane 😂

you don’t have to get a bracelet stack. You could just try some bigger earrings or a necklace

WhyamIinahandcartandwherearewegoing · 07/05/2025 14:03

@blubbyblub can’t wear earrings at all sadly. Necklaces similar, never found ones I enjoy wearing…

Brilliant, thank you. This is beautiful

The quality is fantastic,no chance they'll get bent out of shape,I have a few pieces from them and they're all lovely. Look on line for a code as they do money off for a first order x

Basically, yes. None of this layering, curating and stacking is a new thing. Just ask Madonna.

Excellent, I'm ahead of the curve 😆

Don't put too much on it or it will stretch. Mine all started as the same length. Not any more!

Jeremy Clarkson has a fine stack of bracelets.

I can't wear earrings either, they make my ears go septic!

I am such a person, but didn’t realise I was a Stacker! I wear two Monica Vinader silver bangles and a Tiffany silver ball bracelet pretty much 24/7.

Hwi · 07/05/2025 19:13

Pawn shops sale. You can get a decent gold one which would not look cheap. Don't waste your money on plastic crap!

Horses7 · 07/05/2025 19:25

I stack fairly plain oval gold (or gold plated) bangles, collected over several years, silver would look nice too.

I've got a bracelet stack from Annie Haak, although mine has actually been built up over time with individual bracelets for birthdays, Christmas etc, although they do do actual stacks

i can’t be doing with bracelets or necklaces so i’m with you. i also have no yearning for fancy nails. i think they look
ok on others but they’d annoy the hell out of me!!

Okrr · 07/05/2025 20:35

I prefer one bracelet but fine.

Gold and gems. Same with earrings
and rings.

Cheap looking stuff does not appeal.

Oooo god no. Tried a friends on to see if I could cope but absolutely not 🤣🤣
