Tips and Tricks for Layering Necklaces

  1. Mix & Match Styles: The key to perfect necklace layering is mixing and matching styles. Try pairing delicate chains with chunky ones, long strands with chokers, or pendants with tassels. The contrast brings balance and makes each piece stand out.

  2. Varying Lengths: The length of each necklace should be considered to avoid tangling. Choose necklaces in different lengths to create a beautiful cascading effect. You can start with a choker, add a shorter necklace, and then add a longer one.

  4. Balance Necklines: Choose the right necklaces to complement your outfit’s neckline. For example, wear a longer necklace with a lower neckline to add depth, or opt for a choker with a higher neckline.

  5. Adorn Your Neckline in Odd Numbers: There’s something special about odd numbers, even in jewelry layering! Wear necklaces in threes to create a cohesive look.

  6. Add a Statement Piece: We all have that one statement necklace that’s too bold to wear alone. Layering it with other necklaces is just the perfect solution. Keep the other necklaces minimal to allow the statement piece to shine.
