How to Layer Necklaces: A Fine Jewelry Styling Guide

Layered necklaces add depth and personality to any outfit. Here is how to get it right.

Play with lengths

Combine a short chain (around 40 cm), a medium pendant (around 45 cm) and a longer chain (60 cm or more) so each piece is visible.

Mix textures

Pair a fine chain with a pendant, such as a Vintage Alhambra, and a bolder link, such as Tiffany HardWear.

Metals

One gold tone looks polished; mixed metals look modern and relaxed.

Necklines

  • Open collar or V-neck: layered pendants.
  • Crew neck: longer chains.
  • Strapless: a single short statement piece.
