Layering necklaces is a great impactful jewellery look in every season. Whether we're bundled up in winter or bearing a little more skin in the warmer months, this is how to work with different neckline and pair the right combination of necklaces and chains.
Working with a straight neckline or crew neck top
Don't be put off by a crew neck jumper or top- you can still layer on top of this neckline.
A great tip with a heavier knitwear or a straight neckline is to layer a chain necklace such as our Kenzie Necklace shown here over a daintier pendant or chain. The weight of the chain stops the daintier necklace from moving, tangling or disappearing inside your top.
Basic Necklace Layering- here's how
Of course when you've got more neck space such as with an open shirt or v-neckline, you can really have a go at a gorgeous necklace stack.
It's all about creating balance- balancing the right necklace lengths, pendant shapes, and chains effectively.
Base Layer Necklace
Start with a 16"/40cm necklace or chain. This is the standard length of most necklaces that sit at the base of the throat and it's a great jewellery piece to have in your collection as it works really well worn alone.
Feature Pendant
Next add in a feature pendant necklace. This will be the focal point of your necklace stack. We've all got a favourite pendant we love to wear so this where you make your necklace stack really individual.
At this point you could add in another pendant to sit next to your first one or add in a longer layer to create the graduated look. Our necklace sets are great because they have three necklaces in one set that do exactly that!
However you style it, the great thing about layering necklaces is that it creates a look that is truly yours. No one else will show up to the party with the same jewellery look that's for sure!
