The Leetie Lovendale Guide to Wearing Maximalist Jewelry
Maximalist jewelry isn’t about rules — it’s about presence.
It’s color, texture, confidence, and a little joy layered into your everyday life. At Leetie Lovendale, we believe bold jewelry should feel wearable, expressive, and personal — not heavy, overwhelming, or reserved for special occasions.
This guide is here to help you wear maximalist jewelry with ease, intention, and confidence — your way.
What Maximalist Jewelry Really Means
Maximalism isn’t about wearing everything at once.
It’s about choosing pieces that feel expressive, joyful, and unapologetically you.
Maximalist jewelry often includes:
-
Bold color
-
Statement scale
-
Layered textures
-
Playful shapes
-
Nostalgic or vintage elements
The goal isn’t excess — it’s self-expression.
One tip:
Let One Piece Lead
If you remember nothing else, remember this:
Choose one focal piece and let it shine.
That focal point might be:
-
A bold necklace
-
Statement earrings
-
A chunky bracelet stack
Once you choose your lead piece, everything else supports it — not competes with it.
This keeps maximalist style feeling intentional, not chaotic.
Why Lightweight Materials Matter
(Especially for Everyday Wear)
One of the biggest myths about bold jewelry is that it has to feel heavy.
At Leetie, many of our statement pieces are made with vintage lucite and resin, which are naturally lightweight. That means:
-
Big visual impact
-
Comfortable, all-day wear
-
No pulling, tugging, or irritation
You can wear bold earrings or layered necklaces without them weighing you — or your outfit — down.
Face-Framing Jewelry Is Universally Flattering
Statement earrings don’t just add color — they frame your face.
Face-framing earrings:
-
Draw attention upward
-
Highlight cheekbones and jawlines
-
Instantly elevate simple outfits
Because lucite is lightweight, you can wear bold shapes comfortably, even for long days. Hair up, hair down — statement earrings do the work for you.
Adjustable Necklaces = Effortless Styling
One of the most underrated styling tools? Adjustable extenders.
Leetie necklaces often feature 6-inch adjustable extenders, which means you can:
-
Change where a necklace sits on your neckline
-
Layer multiple necklaces without tangling
-
Adjust for different tops, dresses, or seasons
-
Create custom looks with the same pieces
Maximalist style should adapt to you — not the other way around.

How to Layer Maximalist Jewelry Without Overthinking It
Layering doesn’t need rules — just rhythm.
Try this approach:
-
Start with one anchor necklace
-
Add a second piece at a different length and maybe even a pendant
-
Keep colors complementary, not identical
- Mix in a lighter weight chain as a 3rd layer to offset the chunkier pieces
-
Let texture do the talking
If it feels good and looks balanced, it works.
Everyday Outfits That Love Maximalist Jewelry
Maximalist jewelry shines best against simple foundations:
-
T-shirt + denim
-
Button-down + trousers
-
Easy dress + flats
-
Cozy knit + boots
Think of your outfit as the canvas — the jewelry is the art.
Maximalism Is Confidence You Can Put On
Sometimes confidence comes first.
Sometimes the jewelry comes first.
Either way, bold jewelry has a way of shifting your energy — helping you show up, take up space, and feel more like yourself.
There’s no “right” way to wear maximalist jewelry.
There’s only the way that feels like you.
And if it brings a little joy to your day?
That’s always enough.
