]]>Stick to one focal point that highlights the accent pieces.
Let a colourful stone necklace take centre stage within several plain chains. That’s how you make one statement piece standout. It's a more subtle take on the statement necklace. For rings try having one finger heavily stacked (powerstack) against a bare finger. This negative space creates an interesting balance and keeps things from feeling too symmetrical and styled. While layering bracelets, let the timepiece add function and serve as a great foundation for your arm stack.
Don't be afraid to mix metals and textures.
Gone are the days where we only wore one metal at a time. Stack rings of different metals, attach pendants which contrast with the colour of the necklace and wear bracelets of different metals, most importantly make it feel like you. Be it a single rose gold ring playing off the shimmer set in yellow gold or even create an ombré stack, starting with silver followed by rose gold, and topped with yellow gold. Get creative!
Pair the new with the old.
We love seeing dainty rings against an old heirloom or cocktail ring. That blend of new and subtle with a vintage statement piece creates an interesting contrast. Go attack your grandmother’s closets and you’ll be ready to strut in style.
The best stack is a significant one.
Create a commemorative stack on your ring finger, by adding in a special ring for anniversaries, babies, and other big moments. Personalise, personalise, personalise. Whether it’s pictures in lockets, charms with initials, whatever matters to you. Imbue your style with a secret significance and a whole lot of love.
Lastly, don’t over do it.
When you are first starting out in bracelet layering, it's better to keep it minimal.
If you're going to layer bracelets, maybe you don't need to layer rings as well. We agree that layering can be fun but going overboard isn’t the answer. So, know when to stop.
Those are all the secrets from our “stacking trinkets the right way”. Which of these are you going to incorporate in your style?

For starters, a talisman is any object that is known to have miraculous powers that signify protection and good luck. In simple words? The evil eyes near our doors, the swastika pendant our elderly wear, or bracelet studded with Om, all of these are examples of Indian talisman jewelry that were embraced back then and still are, in different ways.
Today, the relevance of talisman jewelry goes beyond just its purpose of bringing good fortune. It’s 2021 and we also see them as millennial accessories on celebrities across the globe. So, what we gather here is that yes, talisman jewelry has its origin in miraculous roots but its purpose today is much more. Here is a quick recap of all the reasons you should be wearing talisman jewelry today.
Most modern trends are nothing but the reincarnated versions of classic trends, and over the years we’ve seen this happen with talismans. Charms, as they call it, have been reigning the trends chart lately, where anything from dainty necklaces to statement pieces are carrying popular talismans like the moon, evil eye, clover, and more.
Talisman jewelry in the form of bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and rings may be popular at this time but they also come with a timeless appeal. This only means that this one is not just a fad but something that is here to stay. We’re talking about the versatility and elegance of these jewelry pieces that make them a seamless fit to any look, preference, occasion, and more. Isn’t that all we need today?
When fashion meets symbolism, we get these beautiful tokens of luck and protection! Meaningful and significant of a deeper purpose, talisman jewelry was originally born to serve as an element that guards you and brings you good fortune. We don’t see a better way to guard our vibe and do so in style.

But well, that was then. Today, these ‘magical’ tokens of protection or talismans are not just used for these purposes but also as an important element of fashion. You’ll see talisman jewlery that are marking the style charts today and being worn by people of all ages and beliefs. While that’s the role it plays today, how did these talismans come into being as powerful tokens in the first place? Well, the word, talisman is believed to have its origin in the Greek word, telesma, which translates to ‘consecration ceremony.’ The word’s origin also dates back to a much older root – telos, which translates to ‘result.’
Throughout the course of humanity, we have relied on talismans – objects assigned with supernatural or religious powers, meant to heal or protect people. Humans have been using them as a cue to create good fortune, ward off bad luck and evil, and to create a mystical power. In cultures in ancient Africa, it was believed that by carrying the foot of a swift creature, one can move with that animal’s speed. The Irish are also associated with their belief in the power and luck of the four-leaf-clover, known as the ‘luck of the Irish.’ Even the Christian cross that signifies Jesus’ demise has been used since its origin as a token of faith, protection, and as per legends, against vampires too.
So yes, talismans have been used as inanimate magical objects throughout history, across civilizations with strong and powerful relevance to religions, scientific, and astrological practices. Over the centuries, the uses of talismans have also evolved as times have changed and people have evolved. Today, they are massively used for the protection of the wearer, one's belongings and loved ones, and other reasons like helping with fertility, crop production and to bring good luck in any aspect of life.
Indian talismans like Swastik and Om have also been popularly used for centuries in the country, both of which are associated with strong religious significance. Till date, they are used as a token of protecting oneself and attracting good luck by people from all walks of life. These objects are usually anything from a piece of clothing, jewelry, a parchment, or a weapon too. Talismanic jewlery is also a commonly used token of magic for people over the years, in India too, where it is now also a part of fashion.
