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.

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!
