Layered necklaces

Yes, you can layer gold and silver necklaces. Mixing metals can create a stylish and modern look, adding visual interest and versatility to your style. Try to balance the pieces for a look that’s striking yet sophisticated.

It's generally a good idea to select three to five necklaces varying in length for a balanced look. However, two necklaces can also create a stylish effect. Aim for contrast in shapes, colors, or textures to make your cascade visually interesting.

Keeping your layering to two or three necklaces at once and adjusting the length will ensure that they don’t tangle. Some light tangling in the back around closures is normal. For those who want to guarantee that there’s no tangling, there are third-party necklace detanglers that link the necklaces together while keeping their chains separate.

How many necklaces you layer is entirely up to you. A standard layered look includes two or three necklaces worn together. This is usually to ensure that they lay at different lengths and don’t tangle.

Solitaire diamond pendants are wonderful for layering because the diamond pendant itself adds extra length. Consider pairing with a Solitaire Necklace or the Knife-Edge Bezel Station necklace for perfect long layers. 

Buying several necklaces in the same style is the best way to create a layered necklace set. For example, a Knife-Edge Bezel Necklace and Knife-Edge Bezel Station Necklace would pair well, as would a Solitaire Necklace and Solitaire Pendant. The most popular way to layer necklaces, however, is to mix styles for a more complex look. 

The simplest way to layer necklaces is to choose various designs in different lengths. Most choose to create layers of the same gold color, but mixing in rose gold with yellow or white gold is a look that continues to grow in popularity. 

Consider mixing different styles of necklaces for a bolder look. Pair a medallion with a solitaire necklace or tennis necklace, for example, or choose styles that highlight multiple diamond shapes.

The best way to layer necklaces is to choose two to three necklaces of varying lengths. It’s also best to mix styles; for example, a great three-piece layered necklace would include a Tennis Necklace, an Arc Necklace, and a Solitaire Pendant worn at staggering lengths for a brilliant and decadent cascade.
