If you don’t know what ear stacking is, it’s just so happens to be the biggest jewelry trend of 2022. There are many different ways to accomplish this look and even more combinations when it comes to jewelry. However, if you're looking for something that's easy and comfortable then take a peek at some of these ideas below:
 

What is ear curation / ear stacking?

Ear stacking, also known as ear curation, is the practice of wearing multiple piercings in one ear. It can be a fun way to add some flair and individuality to your look. The trend originated with celebrities like Lady Gaga and Dua Lipa but has since caught on among everyday people looking for an edgy new twist on their style.
You don’t need a ton of piercings or even any at all to start stacking your ears; there are several options available from small studs to large hoops!
Our curation tips for the best autumn ear stack
  • Don't be afraid to mix and match.

  • Don't be afraid to go bold with color.

  • Don't be afraid to add a charm or two.

  • Don't be afraid to use different shapes (like stars, moons and flowers)

Mix and match hoop sizes.

Now that you've mastered the art of stacking, it's time to switch up your earring game. If you're looking for something a little different, why not try mixing and matching hoop sizes? You can go big or small with your hoops, depending on how many piercings you have in each ear and what kind of look you're going for. Try matching gold hoops with silver studs or vice versa!
If you have multiple piercings in one ear—and don't let anyone tell you differently—it's totally possible to wear several earrings at once! Simply stack them from largest to smallest for an ombre effect.

Add a charm or two.

Charms are a great way to add interest to your ear stack. They can be anything from a small charm to a large pendant, but it's best to choose charms that are similar in size and shape. Charms can be worn on their own as statement pieces, or layered with other items like studs and hoops for added flair.
Our personal favourite this season is a four leaf clover or dagger shape.

Don't be afraid of color.

It's not just about the color, though: you can layer anything on top of your earrings. That's the fun of this trend! If you're wearing a bold pair of colorful earrings, try pairing them with other statement jewelry (think necklaces or rings). If they're more subtle, play up their subtlety by combining them with delicate pieces like a pair of dainty gold hoops or studs in another neutral color like rose gold. And if you want to go all out and wear bright and bold? We've got some tips for that too!
Evil eyes are currently a massive trend so play into it with sapphire blues and eye symbols.

Stick to a classic formula.

The key to easy-to-wear, everyday earrings is to keep it simple. This can be a challenge for those who like to wear many earrings at once and love the look of an earring stack! But when you're working with smaller earlobes, wearing multiple piercings can feel heavy and get in the way. One pair of huggies and some lightweight studs look beautiful and are still super comfortable.
