Creating the perfect earring stack is more than just an accessory choice—it’s an expression of personal style and individuality. The founders of four prominent jewelry brands—Sofia Yulo Fine Jewelry (SYFJ), EIRIN Jewelry, Penny Pairs, and Suki Jewelry—share their expert tips on mixing metals, textures, and styles to craft an earring stack that speaks to both your personality and your fashion sense.
Sofia Yulo Fine Jewelry: Bold, Playful, and Meaningful
Sofia Yulo, the visionary behind Sofia Yulo Fine Jewelry, believes the ideal earring stack isn’t bound by rules but driven by the excitement it brings to the wearer. “I love experimenting with different arrangements. There’s something about an intentionally mismatched and uneven stack that feels stylish and fun,” says Yulo.
Her approach blends bold statement pieces with delicate accents, embodying the freedom and playfulness of her designs. When mixing metals and textures, she advises maintaining balance through repetition of shapes or colors. “Find harmony in variety—consistency in certain elements, like a recurring gemstone or shape, helps tie everything together,” she explains.
For Yulo, jewelry is not just about aesthetics but storytelling. With four generations of her family in the jewelry industry, she designs pieces that reflect milestones, personal journeys, and lasting memories. “The beauty of jewelry lies not only in its ability to elevate an outfit but in the stories and connections it represents,” Yulo adds.
EIRIN Jewelry: Balanced Elegance with a Personal Touch
Pearl Tan, founder of EIRIN Jewelry, approaches earring stacking like a signature. “A dream stack is all about balance and individuality,” Tan explains. “It’s a blend of pieces that complement each other while reflecting your personal style.”
Tan emphasizes starting with a statement piece and building around it with smaller, daintier styles. Her key tip? Respect the negative space. “Leave some areas of the ear bare to avoid a cluttered look. A minimalist stack with the right balance of adorned and unadorned space enhances elegance.”
For Tan, creating a harmonious stack requires knowing which metal tones suit your skin and how to mix pieces thoughtfully. EIRIN’s jewelry is designed for modern, confident individuals who appreciate understated luxury. “Our pieces are for creatives and tastemakers,” she notes.
Penny Pairs: Comfort and Balance Above All
For Camille Jimenez-Sandico, founder of Penny Pairs, a dream stack is a personal collection of go-to pieces. “My dream stack consists of the earrings I wear most often—my ‘comfort’ earrings,” says Jimenez-Sandico. “Without them, I feel like something’s missing.”
Balance is key when crafting the perfect stack, she advises, whether matching earrings with your hairstyle or choosing pieces that fit the event. Mixing metals should be done with intention, contrasting textures or similar styles for a cohesive look. For those with multiple piercings, she recommends starting with foundational pieces, like simple hoops, and gradually layering smaller designs. “Ear stacks look best when balanced from largest to smallest,” she adds.
For Jimenez-Sandico, a good ear stack is one that reflects personal style, even if it means breaking the rules. Penny Pairs designs pieces that are both fashionable and functional, catering to women who are always on the move. “Jewelry should be one less thing to worry about,” she says.
Suki Jewelry: Artful and Practical Stacking
Shar Cabrera, founder of Suki Jewelry, views ear stacking as an art form, merging personal style with ear anatomy. “When curating a stack, consider the shape of your ear,” Cabrera advises. “The stack should not only be cohesive but also comfortable.”
Cabrera prefers mixing different shades of gold—white, yellow, and rose—rather than contrasting metals. She also emphasizes adjusting your stack to suit your mood or the occasion. “For a minimalist look, choose dainty gold pieces. For a festive occasion, opt for statement earrings on the main lobe and diamond-threaded studs in the upper piercings,” she suggests.
Cabrera encourages making a bold statement on the main lobe with standout pieces from collections like Futura or La Bomba, then balancing the stack with subtle studs or huggies for the cartilage or upper lobes. “The best everyday earrings aren’t the focal point of an outfit, but the ones that complete and elevate the overall look,” she concludes.
