Guide | Our tips for styling a beautiful layered necklace look

Layering necklaces has become very trendy in recent years and continues to be a favorite today. In just a few moments, this way of wearing necklaces adds a stylish touch to any everyday or evening look.

Do you also love this way of wearing necklaces and would like some tips on mastering the art of stacking?
Our team is here to share a few tips to help you out.

What necklace lengths should you choose for a stylish layered look?

Step 1: Choose a choker that is about 38–40 cm long

Step 2: Choose a necklace with a “classic” length of about 45 cm. This is the essential piece for layering, as it pairs easily with both shorter and longer styles and is also a very comfortable length to wear every day

Step 3: Choose a longer necklace that’s about 50–60 cm long, or a long necklace that’s 70–80 cm long.

(Note: Be sure to measure your neck circumference before selecting the different lengths. Example: If your neck circumference is 40 cm, start by adding 45 cm for Step 1)

For a trendy layered look, we recommend mixing materials: simple chains or link chains, freshwater pearls, zirconium oxides, colored natural stone beads…

Depending on your outfit for the day and your mood, you can go from a simple layered look with two necklaces to a more elaborate layered look with three necklaces.

It’s also worth considering the style you want to achieve with your look. You can choose to focus on delicate necklaces or make a statement with bolder pieces featuring oversized links. The key is to strike the right balance so that each piece of jewelry stands out and none of them get lost in the mix.
