Layering necklaces isn’t just a trend, it’s an art form that allows you to express your personality, elevate your look, and make a bold or subtle statement—whether you’re going to a brunch or a black tie event, a layered necklace can transform your entire outfit.

Why layered necklaces are so popular?

In recent years, necklace layering has become a staple for fashion editorials and everyday wear, and why, because it’s incredibly versatile.
Whether you want a triple-layered necklace look or a double-layered necklace vibe, the secret is to stay stylish without making the inside of your jewelry box seem tangled.

The golden rule of necklace layering

Start with the focal point: Choose an attention-grabbing piece like our Sazenice gold coin pendant necklace If you’re feeling fancy, use our layered pearl necklace for a touch of luxury and elegance.
Different lengths and textures: Combine short and medium-long chains to avoid tangles and add dimension.
Stick to the color palette: Mixing metals is in style, but make sure the pieces feel cohesive, try pairing our silver herringbone chain with a gold bar pendant to contrast, and don’t be afraid to try a gold layer necklace and a 925 sterling silver multi-layer necklace – the mixed metal looks exactly right.
Balance the proportions: If you’re wearing a chunky chain, layer it with finer parts like the Sazenice Fine Pearl Necklace.
Watch out for the neckline: Different tops require different stacking — we’ll guide you below.

A step-by-step guide to layering necklaces

Step 1: Start with a base layer like our minimalist necklace.
Step 2: Add a medium-length pendant like the Sky Moon Necklace.
Step 3: Add drama to it with a long chain on top like our Y-Lasso Necklace.
Step 4: Adjust each piece to lay flat and evenly spaced for editing.
Pro tip: Use extenders or necklace spacers to keep things organized and avoid the “necklace-putting nightmare.”

How to match a necklace with a necklace?

Polo necks: Opt for long, distinctive chains like the Sazenice Bold paper clip necklace Think about it: a Hawaiian necklace, but for colder climates.
Buttoned fit: Layered mid-length pieces that peek between buttons are perfect for subtle Macys Men’s Double Layer Diamond Necklace moments, but more stylish.
V-neck sweaters: Choose V-shaped pendants that echo the neckline.
Necklaces and sweatshirts: Stack necklaces to lasso length for layering.
Tunics and halter tops: Keep it sleek with elaborate layers like our Trio Chain Set.
