I just googled it and I love it. Wonder how many they made@missie1 there is one piece that I would be very interested from her though… Pink submarinerI never knew it existed!

Love love the looks and how you always mix luxe right into the daily wear. Moms diamond necklaces are to die for. I would love to see you incorporate casually. The last pic is absolutely fabulous. If pearls were smaller the triple stand could have so worked lolAm off to google chiara ferragni!
am hoping to return to this thread and find pics
OP, do you wear the stacks plus rings and earrings every day and then just add the three strand necklace in for a change ? Would love more info: like what outfit, hair etc etc.
I find it really helps to take a selfie of your whole outfit to see if you like it (somehow more helpful than a mirror). then, if you are feeling lazy one day and cannot decide what to wear out for dinner, you can just scroll through and duplicate.
here’s an example of my process (apologies for the long post; I’m not known for brevity lol)
The first pic is not a great pic, but it’s what I normally wear every day, including the sneakers and a hoodie dress. Most minimalists would think even the necklace (six motif VCA GMOP is a bit much for everyday, but it suits me). The close up is my wrists (with the bracelets, I personally think my normal small roster of engagement wedding stuff is too much; DH doesn’t wear a wedding band; and, honestly he’s happiest so long as I wear my avatar. the second pic is a little dressier, same jewelry, but the neckline and my hair hide the earrings and necklace, so you just get a peek if I move. Third pic I think is the everyday stuff that @nightbefore originally thought was too much before seeing the full length pics. DH actually thinks the serpenti viper is ‘more fun,’ than engagement and wedding rings.

for a Dior special event (I thought it was inappropriate to wear another brands jewelry; I own no Dior jewelry) so I asked y mom if I could borrow something. She sent over a bunch of diamond intensive things. I’m not really a diamond person, so I experimented with pearls to see if I could tone them down. I experimented with combining two riviera necklaces plus tahitian pearls (for a triple strand effect, tennis bracelet, large statement rings and big solitaire earrings; posted a few action pics, and then decided it was way too much for my personal comfort zone (I don’t normally wear diamonds, and it looked like I raided my entire stash for one event) (those are the last two pics that I rejected)
i ended up wearing unbranded jewelry (a baroque pearl necklace, solitaire earrings and a big ring (it was a branded event, and I owned no jewelry from the brand). The third pics is what I decided was way too much (like I put on everything I owned— and I did put on almost everything my mom loaded me) the first pic is the jewlery I ended up wearing with a different outfit; the rest are experiments I rejected.
IMO, the process of deciding can be really time consuming, but once you get a feel for your personal style and comfort zone, a lot of fun! My only issue is I haven’t found the right watch (Pre bracelets, I used to wear my own or a DH wathc but now, I have to sneak a look at my phone lol). HTH

ok took a lot to get a pic, cause it’s just me now. please remember your mother’s teaching…..if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing. I only say this based on the comments already made. I can handle constructive criticism, not cut downs (and if you don’t know the difference- don’t post cause it’s a cut down

Well I think I have the perfect photos to explain what I mean.Here she wears multiple styles like serpenti, panthere, her engagement rings and more:
Here this is a sponsored post so she wears only items from serpenti line, much less than before but still some statement pieces:
I think second one is much better look than first one. First one looks like she put on everything she got for promoting. There is no harmony IMHO. So that’s why I think it is not the same effect if you wear 5 serpenti or 5 different bracelets or 1 big piece like verdura cuff from @880. The way of Chiara is wearing her jewelry or clothes is definitely not for me but this doesn’t stop her being the most popular instablogger so I think nowadays everybody can wear whatever they prefer.I have never seen this piece before
@nightbefore, she looks amazing, and she’s wearing the Serpenti necklace and both bracelets all viper renditions with diamonds (my eyes aren’t the greatest, but that’s what it looks like to me. But. she would look gorgeous in a paper bag lol. In her first stack pic, one side is the Bulgari. And I think the cuff on the other is Dior, but I’m not sure. maybe someone else can ID her bangles on the cuff side.

I don’t think it is too much at all. I might remove the pearl bracelet but thats just because it brings a matchy matchy element to a look that is more eclectic.
(I would also leave the MOP for another day because I like the look of the three middle pieces together but that’s just preference).
I think you look lovely.

I think the scale and size of the jewlery suits your style well! you look great! I am not a minimalist, so I think it looks like you carry it well for everyday. you Could even size up on the pearls for a fun night out,ok took a lot to get a pic, cause it’s just me now. please remember your mother’s teaching…..if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.

Edit- just seen your picture. I think the White gold is subtle enough not to be too much.
I really like the pearls with a more casual outfit.
If I was losing anything I’d have just the watch arm with no bracelet.

As I suspected it all works really well together. Your wedding set and watch arm are great. I’m loving the all wg stack. The pearl bracelet i wouldn’t wear with the stack as it doesn’t flow to me and looks like your trying to match the necklace. I want it to be effortless fabulous kwim. The necklace is the dressier layer to be added or removed as neededok took a lot to get a pic, cause it’s just me now. please remember your mother’s teaching…..if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.

I think the visual is a mixed message. This particular pearl necklace suggests one thing, which the clothes don't follow through on. But the wrists look great in this casual way. I love the bold and layered look at the wrists. Me, I'd lose the necklace. Again, this is a matter of taste (I mean, highly individual).

It looks like she wears two panthere bracelets and the dior bracelet. I really wanna see the panthere with onyx on you! I think it would be gorgeous! Btw I didn’t see the photos you posted in previous post, I really love the verdura cuff & 6 motif on you. I agree your DH, I cannot bring myself to wear a solitaire. I find it no fun.
@missie1 I am wondering if the watch is customized for her
@LVLover I think you should wear if you like them. But if I could give my two cents, I would leave the pearls out and move the tennis bracelet to other arm (or completely, your choice) and let the watch shine alone. If you really like pearls, I think adding wg vintage mop earrings or sweet pave earrings would tie up the pieces better. perhaps the chalcedony vintage pendant could be an option too if you don’t like alhambra earrings

I googled and it’s supposed to be LE but Chrono had one for about 20k

She looks gorgeous and should of course wear what she wants, but to me, the first thing that came to mind is that it looks like she's selling bracelets in picture number 5 and the pieces are competing for attention. Her outfit at least doesn't compete with the jewelry. Anyways, it's really just a minor detail and I probably wouldn't have thought twice about it if I saw her in real life. Wear what you want and be safe!
I agree. I’m some what of a minimalist myself. I usually wear my jade bracelet, 2 diamond pendants, with one chain longer than the other to layer, large or small hoops and e-ring. Watch is optional.
However, stacking your jewelry is your thing, I say go for it.
Iris Apfel says: More is more and less is a bore.. LOL
We all have to find the right balance in what we wear. If if looks good to one's eye,
really at the end of the day why should it matter to someone else what "jewels" you are wearing
Pearls are the most classic a jewel a gal could wear & build from there. Stacking rings &
stacking bracelets also work...
A simple gold band can make just as much of a statement as a diamond eternity band
LVLover, you gotta know how to "rock your jewels" & wear them confidently..it all works, JMO

There is absolutely nothing wrong with what you are wearing, OP.
As others have said, this is a highly personal, opinion-based thing; there is no right or wrong. For me, personally, I wouldn't wear the stack on the non-watch wrist, but that is subjective. Stacks on both wrists gives me Wonder Woman vibes, but that's just me.
