Understanding Layering Basics
1. Start with Different Chain Lengths
One of the foundations of layering necklaces is choosing chains of varying lengths. This creates visual depth and helps avoid tangling, letting each necklace stand out. Classic combinations often include a short choker, a mid-length necklace, and a longer piece. Explore options in different chain lengths for a versatile look that suits multiple styles.
2. Mix Chain Styles and Textures
Blending chain types such as rope, cable, box, and Figaro can bring unique textures that add character to your look. Pairing chunky with delicate chains allows each piece to shine individually. Check out our pave necklaces collection for texture-rich pieces.

3. Layering with Diamond Size Variations
Layering necklaces with varying diamond sizes creates an elegant gradient effect. Start with a smaller, daintier piece as the shortest necklace, and move to larger diamonds on longer chains.

4. Adding Statement Pieces for Focus
