when my friend has €500 to spend at CINCO, it’s like giving a minimalist with maximalist tendencies the ultimate fashion playground. she’s effortlessly cool, loves mixing colors, and while her style leans minimalist, she’s not afraid to pile on the jewelry. with CINCO’s sleek, modern pieces designed for layering, she’s about to create some seriously stunning looks.
1. the base: statement pieces that stand alone
every great jewelry stack starts with a standout piece. first on her list? the elin necklace (€299). its bold chain design is perfect for making a statement on its own or serving as the foundation for layering. this piece exudes luxury and brings a high-fashion edge to any outfit.
2. the stack: layering necklaces for maximum impact
with her minimalist-yet-bold style, layering necklaces is key. she’d definitely add the baidu necklace (€170). its smooth links and sleek design make it the ideal companion to the elin necklace, adding a touch of elegance and elongating her neckline.
to keep things playful, she might throw in the choker magdalene (€65). its delicate, beaded design introduces a fun pop of color without being overpowering, making it perfect for layering and mixing textures for an eclectic look.
3. the wrist game: elevating with bracelets
no jewelry collection is complete without a few key bracelets. since she’s a pro at mixing metals, the little arlo bracelet (€75) is an essential pick. delicate yet luxurious, it pairs well with minimalist styles or can be worn solo for a toned-down look.
she’d also go for the colette bracelet (€199). its thin, simple design makes it ideal for stacking with other bracelets or doubling up for a chic, layered wrist game.
4. rings & things: finishing touches
rings are the ultimate finishing touch. the lang ring (€109) offers minimalist design with just enough detail to keep things interesting. she’ll love stacking it with family heirlooms or wearing it solo for a sleek, personal vibe.
5. the total: making every cent count
with €500 to spend, here’s how my friend would curate her look:
that brings the total to €718—but that’s okay because CINCO’s timeless jewelry pieces are meant to be worn on repeat. plus, with a promo code like CINCOEDITORIAL15, she could score some extra savings!
