When it comes to our jewelry, you can have endless amounts of fun and creativity. In fact, one of the best parts of creating a collection of chain necklaces and pendants is that you can truly play in the world of layering—creating unique combinations that literally no one else has.
Layering is actually something we do all the time in life. We not only layer all our moisturizers and serums when doing our skincare routine, but we also layer our clothing too.
So why wouldn’t we play around with layering your necklaces and pendants too? Especially if you own a cuban chain, which allows for so much room to play around with layering.
But mastering the art of layering necklaces takes time, practice, creativity and a bit of boldness in your fashion life. Not to fear though, as we are here to help you along the way. Once you master this, you will enjoy mixing and matching all your favorite pieces and creating your own unique style.
Regardless of whether you classify yourself as a minimalist or a maximalist when it comes to jewelry, we have all the tips and tricks so you can layer like a pro and stay true to yourself. With so many different ways to assemble, you will have infinite options to choose from even if you only have a few pieces in your collection.
Here are all the best things to keep in mind when it comes to layering your chain necklaces and pendants.
1. Create Various Lengths
One of the fundamentals when it comes to layering is to use different lengths in the look. This allows for all the pieces you are wearing to be seen and for them to all compliment one another. The last thing you want to do is create on big bulky mess around your neck. Instead, play around with adding a chocker-sized necklace with one that reaches your collarbone and then finishing it off with one that goes down to your chest.
The multi-length look will let you basically have a necklace party around your neck in a tasteful and effortless way.
2. Have One Bold Piece
Another important thing to keep in mind when it comes to creating your layered necklace look is to throw in a really bold statement piece. Chances are, you’ve got a necklace that may have always felt a bit extra. But by adding in a few simple pieces to frame the bold piece, it won’t fel like such a crazy thing to wear.
The best way to support your bold necklace is by pairing it up with some slimmer and simpler necklaces that can frame the necklace you want to make a statement.
3. Keep It All Simple
Of course, you can go super minimalistic and still have an awesome layered creation of necklaces. Go thin, sleek, and dainty with your necklaces. Pick ones that are subtle, even if they are pendants. These necklaces could have a gem that is so small only the beholder knows it exists.
This layered look adds a bit of mystery and allows you to feel like you are holding a dear secret close to your heart. Plus, it creates an elegant look that pairs really well with a gala or red carpet dresses or suits. Simple always results in something magical.
4. Choose One Type Only
There are a whole variety of necklaces that are out there, especially when it comes to the range of metals that they can be made from. Rather than having a clashing concoction of necklaces made from different metals, pick one type of metal and only where that kind is. So if you pick rose gold, only wear necklaces that are made of that material.
This will create a really organized and symbiotic look that is elegant, and chic and makes any ensemble you wear look super cool.
5. Go All Out
Then there is the opposite strategy from the above. You could also choose to get extremely funky and mix all the types of necklaces you have. This means you wear all the different shapes and sizes without a care in the world. It will create a sort of organized mess that somehow still works—because at the end of the day they are all jewlery that you love to wear.
This layering effect always goes well with funkier outfits in general. This is a great one to try when you are feeling especially bold and creative.
