Necklace Types Perfect for Layering  

1. Choker Necklace  

Choker necklaces are perfect for the first layer – snugly sitting at the base of the neck. Goes well with V-necks, off-shoulders, and strapless dresses. Popular picks tend to be the gold choker, Swarovski choker, and the kundan choker.  

2. Short Pendant Necklace  

Sitting at 14-16 inches is ideal for the second layer. Short pendant necklaces work best to serve as the secondary layer.

Wear with choker or long chain

Pick out a minimalist or symbolic charm     

3. Mid Length Chains (Princess Length)      

Add Volume Between Short and Long Layers     
Usually 18-20 inches.

Works Great with Pearls, Tassels or Dangle Earrings     
Can be 24+ inches. Creates Depth.       

The Golden Rules of Necklace Layering      

Vary the Lengths      

- Ensure a 2-3 inch difference between each piece to avoid knots while drawing attention to every necklace.      

- Mix Textures & Materials      

- Use leather cords with gold chains, pearls with stones, metals with beads — the differences will add depth.      

- Stick to a Color Palette      

Selecting multiple colors can be overwhelming. Pick a tone — gold, silver, or rose gold — and work around it.      

Balance Bold and Subtle      

- Pair with a dainty pendant or fine chain.      

Don’t Overdo It      

Being cluttered unless expertly styled can create more than 2-4 layers.
