How to layer necklaces
Several necklaces worn together create a personal look, but they can easily tangle or compete with one another. A few simple principles make your layers both beautiful and comfortable to wear.
Vary the length
Let each necklace sit at its own level, with roughly three to five centimetres between them. Start with a short necklace close to the neck, such as a diamond choker, and build downwards with longer chains. Many of our necklaces have an adjustable length, and we can make the chain longer or shorter if you like.
One piece in focus
Choose one necklace to be the main piece, such as a letter necklace or a diamond pendant, and keep the others delicate. That way the personal piece stands out without the look feeling busy.
Mix chains and shapes
A line of diamonds, a fine link chain and a small pendant complement each other well. Avoid several identical chains of the same length, as they are more likely to tangle.
Gold colours together
Wearing one gold colour gives a calm, cohesive look. Mixing yellow, white and rose gold can also be lovely, especially if you already wear rings or bracelets in different colours.
Build your layers over time
You do not need to buy everything at once. Start with a necklace you wear every day and add more over time, such as a letter for each person who means something to you.
