How to Layer Necklaces for a Trendy Look

Layering necklaces continues as a key jewellery trend for 2025. Its perfect for adding. touch of sophistiction and individuality to your outfit. Whether you’re dressing up for a night out or adding flair to a casual ensemble, mastering the art of necklace layering can transform your look. We have lots of customers come to us who are unsure how to layer necklaces to create that look of seemless style so here’s a step-by-step guide to necklace layering. We love sharing our jewellery layering tips so here goes…

Step 1: Choose a focal point

Start by selecting a statement piece as the centre of the look. ‘Statement’ doesn’t necessarily mean big; what we mean is that it will be the lead piece in your necklace layer. It is the one with either more colour, more weight, more detail and will anchor the necklace layer as it will draw the eye and get most attention. We often create a layered necklace look working around a client’s existing favourite necklace which has sentimental value. You can use a piece like that as the statement necklace in any necklace collection.

Step 2: Mix Chain Styles and Lengths:

The key to successful necklace layering is balance. We don’t mean that all the pieces need to look the same. In fact by mixing chain styles and lengths and by mixing necklace lengths you’ll find it easy to create a balanced look.

Step 3: Play with Metals and Textures

Mixing metals like gold, silver and rose gold is a modern trend that adds a dynamic touch to your look. We encourage customers to experiment with textured pieces, such as hammered metals or beaded chains to enhance visual interest. Don’t think you should be always wearing only one colour of metal! We love designing jewellery which includes different colours of metals.

Step 4: Include Personalised Pieces

Why not add a personal touch with initial pendants, birthstones or charms? We love adding personalised jewellery to our customers’ layering sets. These customised necklaces make your layered necklaces uniquely yours and add sentimental value to your look.

Step 5: Balance Proportions

When layering necklaces, it’s important to use space as well as balance to avoid ‘neck-mess’. Don’t overcrowd your neckline. You can layer 2, 3 or 4 necklaces but create a stylish layering necklace look by using different length necklaces. We love to start with a round necklace at the top which opens the layering space underneath. Below that use pendant style necklaces to create interesting layering looks. By using necklace extenders or adjustable chains you can get your necklaces to sit at the length you want. Our adjustable chains are super easy to use and customers find they are some of the most often worn pieces in their jewellery collection.

Step 6: How to Maintain Your Jewellery

Layered necklaces can get tangled and twisted easily. Take care when putting them on and off and storing them. We have lots of hints and tips about how to stop necklaces getting tangled up on our YouTube Channel and on our Social Media channels. We recommend keeping each necklace in its own storage pouch so it doesn’t get in a mess with other pieces of jewellery.

Step 7: Making It Easy to Choose
