1. Consider the length of the necklaces

When layering necklaces, it’s important to pay attention to the length of each piece. A good rule of thumb is to choose necklaces of different lengths, so that they don’t compete with each other. 

Extra Tip: For example, you might pair a short choker with a longer pendant necklace.



 

2. Think about the shape of the necklaces

In addition to considering the length of the necklaces, you should also think about their outline. Round or circular necklaces can be paired with more angular pieces, while square or rectangular necklaces can be paired with more organic shapes. That variation is key!

Extra Tip: Add a statement piece, such as a uniquely shaped pendant, as the focal point of your layered look to draw attention.

3. Choose necklaces with different textures

Mixing and matching different textures can add depth and interest to your layering. You might choose a smooth, shiny necklace to pair with a more matte or textured piece. 

Extra Tip: You can also add in semi precious stones of different color gemstones. I love mixing styles to give a very personalized, individualized look. 

 




4. Consider mixing in different tones with metal

It used to be a big no-no to mix silver and gold but today, it really adds dimension and interest. I also love mixing styles- like a polished and refined CZ halo at a shorter length with an initial necklace and then maybe something a little boho and trendy at a slightly longer length.

Extra Tip: Try incorporating rose gold for a soft, romantic contrast that pairs beautifully with both gold and silver.

 

 


 

5. Look for sustainable options

When choosing necklaces for layering, consider looking for pieces that are made from recycled or upcycled materials. This can include recycled metal, repurposed vintage jewelry, or pieces made from upcycled materials like existing jewelry that gets reworked. 

Our company, Reclaimed with Love, repurposes beautiful, designer pieces and gives them new life by including them in jewelry subscription boxes at minimal costs. 

The packaging of these boxes is sustainable and recycled- the ink is even printed with soy ink! It feels so good to be a part of a company invested in fashion mindfully- using sustainable practices daily and building upon them and growing those social missions every day!
