Ring stacks have long been a sartorial staple, but wrists just haven’t had the same styling cred (not since the ’80s, at least).

Thanks to fashion’s cyclical nature, that’s changing. The latest jewellery trend leans into maximalism, with a cocktail of chunky, mismatched bangles styled from wrist to elbow. It’s all about contrast: thin pieces layered with thicker ones, square-edged styles softened with more sculptural curves.

But you don’t have to go big. One standout piece styled over a button-up shirt can take an outfit from thrown-on to thought-through. (It taps into that “ wearing vs styling ” conversation doing the rounds right now.)

Here are 11 standout designs – from trending resin to heirloom-worthy metals – to suit your personal style.

Dinosaur Designs Medium Drift bangle

$85

Aussie favourite Dinosaur Designs knows chunky bangles – the label makes more than 30 smooth, sculptural styles in a vast palette of swirled colourways. Like its coveted resin homewares, each piece is handcrafted in Sydney from a waste material byproduct made by the oil industry. Earthy tones like cappuccino and dark horn sit alongside brighter hits of moss, poppy and lagoon.

Cushla Whiting Contours Narrow cuff

$2100

If you’re willing to splurge on chic, heirloom-worthy pieces, Melbourne jeweller Cushla Whiting is the one to know. This sculptural cuff draws on Whiting’s background in architecture, riffing on the contour lines of a map. The sleek silver design is made for minimalists – or anyone still holding on to the (soon-to-be bygone) era of quiet luxury.

Anna Rossi Obsessed bangle

$79

There’s a knack to layering – some take to it naturally, others need a little help. If you’re the latter, Anna Rossi’s curated stacks remove the guesswork. Each acrylic piece comes in various marbled hues and sculptural shapes. You can also pick them up as singles if you’ve already got your mix sorted.

Cleopatra’s Bling Nocturne cuff

$499

If your jewellery needs a story, Cleopatra’s Bling has one to tell. Founder Olivia Cummings blends old-world references with modern design – and this piece captures both. The cuff silhouette, hand-carved profile and hammered texture nod to the brand’s ancient Egyptian influences but still feel fresh and like nothing we’ve seen before.

Noah The Label The Resin bangle

$89

Sydney label Noah keeps things wearable. The brand’s resin bangles come in cream, brown and black and are chunky enough to wear solo – but they also work well together as a tonal stack. They’re easy to mix, match and offset with metal, and make a stylish building block for wristwear newbies.

Mejuri Dome cuff

$498

Minimalist metals are Mejuri’s forte – and this puffed-up take on the classic cuff adds an exaggerated edge to wrist stacks. The Canadian label’s pieces are designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing rotation, and this sterling silver style comes in two sizes that pair well together.

Avant Studio Cristabel bangle

$247.20 - $309

Not all bangles need to be chunky. Avant Studio’s sculptural oval design proves that sleeker silhouettes still stack up. Crafted from sterling silver and finished with 18-carat gold vermeil, it’s a refined take on the trend. For extra polish, take styling cues from the Sydney label and double up with another from the same line.

Aka Artwear bangles

$30

Perth-based Aka makes wearable art – literally. Its one-of-a-kind resin bangles are handmade in WA, some handpainted with shadows, text or tonal brushstrokes. No two are the same, and each one brings a sculptural edge without overpowering your look.

Sunday Stephens Crunch cuff

$115

Sydney-based Sunday Stephens might be known for its gemstones, but its resin range holds its own. The Crunch cuff hugs the upper arm or moves freely at the wrist, depending on how you style it. Lightweight but heavy in dramatic appeal, this is a statement piece you’ll reach for time and time again.

Najo Tumbaga Amarres bangle

$399

Not every day calls for full-throttle stacking. Najo’s chunky style is made for days off the maximalist train with its two-tone hammered finish and classic silhouette. There are two sizes to choose from, so go solo or pair up – without clashing with your other jewellery.

Uncommon Matters Swell bangle

$270

Berlin-based label Uncommon Matters was founded by former fashion stylist Amelie Riech, and is known for abstract designs that steer clear of the twee or expected. The Swell bangle lives up to its name – a chunky, rounded piece carved from wood and finished with a high-shine Japanese urushi lacquer. It comes in bold, artsy colours, as well as silver and brass if metallic jewellery is more your thing.
