Layered necklaces are one of the easiest ways to elevate any outfit — but getting the look right takes a little know-how. Here's how to do it.
start with different lengths
The key to a great layered necklace look is contrast. Pair a short choker (14–16 inches) with a mid-length pendant (18–20 inches) and a longer chain (22–24 inches). Each layer should be visible and distinct.
mix textures and styles
Don't be afraid to mix a delicate cable chain with a chunkier rope chain, or pair a simple pendant with a more ornate layered piece. Contrast is what makes the look interesting.
stick to one metal tone
For a cohesive look, keep all your layers in the same metal tone — all gold or all silver. Once you're comfortable with layering, you can experiment with mixing metals for a more eclectic vibe.
try a layered set
Not sure where to start? A pre-layered necklace set takes the guesswork out of it. Our layered necklace collection includes styles like the Gold Layered Moon & Star Necklace and the Gold Layered Tennis & Star Pendant Necklace — both designed to look effortlessly stacked right out of the box.
keep it balanced
Two to three layers is the sweet spot. More than three can get overwhelming. When in doubt, less is more.
