But bare in mind these are just helpful tips, no stack or layer is against the rules!
⭐General Layering Tips⭐
Where to start?
Here's a few starting points, some of our tips that will guarantee any stack to steal the show. As long as you remember these three ,you'll be a layering master.
Odd numbers usually look best, for example 5 rings or 3 necklaces. Layered jewellery is meant to look effortless, cool and pinterest worthy. By having odd numbered pieces it doesn’t look too planned or overthought, you’ve just thrown on your favourite statement rings and they made an incredible look
We love mixing textures too. Our delicate pearl necklaces are the epitome of elegance, but paired with one of our stunning pendants it becomes an instant eye catcher. Don’t be afraid to mix and match !
One of the main tips to remember for layering necklaces is varying their length! Each necklace needs it’s own moment amongst the rest and your worst nightmare is getting them all tangled!
Why our Blythe Cross Necklace is the perfect beginner layering piece!
- The stunning aquamarine blue colour makes a statement all on it's own, but pair it with smaller daintier necklaces you may have or even statement rings to make it the true centerpiece of the look
- The length of this necklace is perfect for smaller necklaces to fit within it to avoid any tangling!
- And it's the perfect shade of gold to mix and match with more gold, or if you're feeling brace mix with silver!
Common Mistakes to Try + Avoid!
Try to avoid necklaces all the same length! Like we mentioned earlier the key to layering necklaces is varying lengths for an effortless chic look
Try not to layer your entire jewellery collection! Pieces will compliment each other in the way, just try to avoid wearing everything at once!
Don’t ignore your outfits neckline! If you’re wearing a deep v neck wear long necklaces that will compliment this shape perfectly- this will make a big difference to your look!
Layering Necklaces
Some tips for layering necklaces like a pro
- If in doubt, start with three! A foolproof number which won't be too much or to little, just enough to make that eye catching statement
- Make sure one of those three is one of our bold pendant necklaces, this way you can build around this with more delicate or longer chains!
- Make sure the necklaces are a staggered look so they sit nicely
- Try and use colours that match your outfit already!
