A gold bangle stack looks best when the bangles aren't all the same. Mix a wider one with a few slim ones, add a little texture and a little sparkle, and choose the right size so they slide on easily. Here's how to build a gold bangle stack: the widths, the sizes and how many to wear.
Start with one classic gold bangle
The Henley Bangle Bracelet is our classic gold bangle and an easy first piece. She plays well with everything, and she comes in silver too. If you'd rather not decide, the Gold Bangle Stack comes ready to wear as a stack of 3, 5 or 7, built around the Holly Star Studded Bangle, Greer and Henley.
Mix widths
One wider bangle gives the stack a center. Slim ones fill in around it.
- Wider: the Wilkes Bangle in 6mm, a high gloss bangle designed with Hailee Wilkes, or the Drift Bangle in 6mm, a wavy bangle with A+B lasered inside. The Sullivan Bangle is a bold 7mm rope design.
- Slim: the Birdie Bangle and Ralph Bangle are just 1.3mm, so you can wear several. The Wilkes and Drift also come in slimmer 4mm and 3mm widths.
Add texture
Smooth bangles next to textured ones catch the light differently, so the stack never looks flat.
- Twisted: the Greer Bangle, a 2.6mm twist, sold one at a time.
- Hammered: the Ralph Bangle has an organic hammered finish.
- Etched: the Birdie Bangle has a subtle etched texture that shimmers up close.
- Wavy: the Drift Bangle's gentle wave.
Add one bit of sparkle or meaning
- Holly Star Studded Bangle: white zircon stars wrapped around a 4mm gold bangle.
- Edith Bangle: tiny white zircon hearts all the way around.
- Cross Bangle: a slim gold bangle with a cross at the center, a sweet gift for a confirmation or baptism.
How many bangles should you wear?
Three is a clean everyday stack, five adds more shine, and seven is the full jingle. That's why our Gold Bangle Stack comes in all three sizes. Wearing a watch? Put your slimmest bangles next to it; our guide to stacking bracelets with a watch has more.
How to pick your bangle size
Most of our bangles come in 60mm, 65mm or 70mm across. On the Henley, those are XS, S/M and L/XL, and S/M (65mm) is our standard size. A bangle has to slide over your hand, so choose the size that fits over the widest part of it. If bangles never fit you, try the Avery Bangle Bracelet, a comfort stretch bangle that slides on and comes in Small/Medium or Medium/Large.
Mix in some color or beads
Gold bangles look great with enamel and beads too. Add a Ford Bangle in a color you love, or slide your bangles next to beaded bracelets. See our bracelet stack ideas for combinations.
Gold bangle FAQ
Can you mix gold and silver bangles?
Yes. Many of our bangles come in both, and a gold and silver mix goes with all your other jewelry.
Are the bangles sold one at a time?
Yes, so you can build your own row, or start with the ready-made Gold Bangle Stack.
What's the difference between a bangle and a stretch bracelet?
A bangle is a solid ring that slides over your hand; a stretch bracelet rolls on. Many of our beaded stretch bracelets come in size A (6.75 inches) or B (7.5 inches).
