How to build your everyday stack
A "stack" is your go-to combination of jewelry — the one you put on every day and forget you're wearing. At MAREA, we believe that a good stack is simple yet has personality. Here's the recipe for building your own.
Step 1 · Choose your base
Start with one foundational piece of jewelry — typically a simple chain in your preferred length. A 42-45 cm rope or box chain is a safe choice because it goes with everything and can be worn alone or layered.
Step 2 · Layer it up
Add one or two extra chains of different lengths — ideally with a 4-6 cm difference. This creates depth without looking cluttered. Feel free to mix textures (rope + flat snake) for a more interesting look.
Step 3 · Hoops you can keep on
Our Everyday Hoop is designed to stay put — even when you sleep, work out, or shower. Choose a size of 12-15 mm for a clean look.
Step 4 · A bracelet that keeps up
A delicate bracelet that can withstand anything — from hand washing to seawater. Choose a snug one that won't fall off, or a slightly looser one that moves with you.
The golden rule
Choose jewelry you can wear for at least a week without thinking about it. That's the true test of a good stack.
