Master the delicate balance of varying chain lengths, contrasting textures, and focal pendants without tangling.
Layering necklaces is the ultimate expression of personal jewellery styling. When done thoughtfully, a curated neck stack elevates a crisp white poplin shirt or slip dress instantly.
1. Mix Varied Chain Gauges and Textures
Do not wear three identical cable chains together. Instead, pair a flat herringbone choker with an open paperclip chain and a sculptural coin pendant.
2. The Golden Rule of Spacing
Maintain at least 2 inches between each necklace layer. For example: 38cm choker, 45cm mid-chain, and 50cm pendant necklace.
