4 Layered Looks: How to Stack Your Necklaces Like a Pro
If you’re looking for a more laid-back yet ultra chic approach to everyday jewelry, stacking multiple necklaces of varying lengths is a jewelry trend that’s here to stay. From chunky chain links and medallion pendants to chokers and monogrammed bars, the phenomenon you’ve seen celebrities and fashion-forward influencers touting on social media gives all of us the opportunity to flex our personalities. And collecting pieces for a layered look is also a great option for gifting to commemorate an upcoming event. But with endless examples and countless stackable necklace combos, where do you even start to get these sensational stacked looks? At Padis Jewelry, we always suggest starting small with two necklaces and then building from there. You can stack necklaces of similar metals or thickness, or you might want to choose necklaces that both complement and contrast, for example, pairing simple and bold pieces. If you want some extra inspiration, read on for our top tips on how to stack necklaces with the best of them and check out our favorite layered looks with wow power.
Best Layering Necklaces for Women
-
Mixing it Up is a Must. If you don’t have different lengths to your necklaces, you haven’t really captured the layered look. The idea is to let each piece stand out by cascading down your neck and chest. You can start with a necklace length close to your neck and build from there. And if most of your necklaces are similar lengths, consider extenders to make the chains different lengths or ask us to shorten the chain.

Avoiding the Common with Customization. Whether your layered necklace look comes in platinum, gold or silver, adding some custom pieces offers your own flair. Engraved bar necklaces, initial necklaces and lockets are all perfect elements to personalize your stack.
-
Teasing with Textures. One of the best ways to create an eye-catching necklace stack is by mixing up textures. And we have plenty to choose from at Padis like herringbone, pavé, gemstones, pearls, filigree and hand-etched chains. One of our favorite multi-textured layered necklace looks is a smooth chain paired with a diamond tennis necklace.

Choosing a Centerpiece. Who says the stacked look has to sacrifice the statement look? Including a statement piece with your layered necklace vibe is a power move that everybody can pull off. We love a diamond solitaire necklace, diamond encrusted initial or an intricate chain as the perfect centerpiece to your layered necklace stack.
