Necklace Layering - Combine several necklaces with each other

When it comes to trends, we at Maren Jewellery find them a little difficult. We already mentioned it in our journal on  ring stacking : as a company focused on longevity and timeless design, we are enthusiastic about ideas that outlast trends instead of merely attracting attention in the short term. Even so, we do pay attention to necklace layering. On the one hand, because this jewelry trend can easily be created using pieces you already own, and on the other, because it allows you to wear several necklaces at the same time. As a jewelry brand, we can hardly get enough of seeing different pieces of jewelry come together in truly individual combinations.

That is why this journal will explore the many different ways to layer necklaces. We want to show you which necklaces you can use and how best to wear several necklaces together. We will also share a little tip on how necklaces that were originally the same length can also be used as layering necklaces.

In fact, chain layering is not a new trend. Although wearing multiple necklaces has recently become more popular among fashion and style enthusiasts, the idea originally came from a completely different time. In fact, it was punks in the early 80s who started wearing a wide variety of necklaces together. Of course, the creative combinations of that time differ significantly from ours today. Last but not least, this fact proves how versatile and yet also timeless this trend actually is and can be interpreted.

Basically, it's very simple: Whatever you like! This applies to layering chains, but also to all other (styling) areas. Trust your taste and get creative. At the same time, there are still some timeless tips that can make following the trend a little easier. And occasionally one or the other of our inspirations might help you to find a feel for your own style.

It’s obvious: the be-all and end-all of necklace layering is necklaces of different lengths. Only when you play with different chain lengths does each individual necklace come into its own. Also, the greater the difference in lengths, the more you minimize the risk of the necklaces getting tangled with each other. Untangling them not only tests your patience, but also carries the risk of damaging your necklaces and should therefore definitely be avoided.

Put both necklaces on and turn both clasps to the front.

2 > 
Now simply swap the clasps. This means fastening the clasp of the first necklace to the end of the second, and vice versa.

3 > 
Then turn the clasps back to the rear and voilà: by pulling on one necklace, the other becomes shorter, allowing you to vary the lengths as you like.

The process may sound a little abstract in theory, but just give it a try. It works and makes it much easier to create this jewelry trend with the necklaces you already own.

Are you still looking for something new to bring fresh life to your jewelry box ? Our necklaces are ideal for your necklace layering. Whether minimalist with our Essential Necklace available in different lengths, or the slightly wider Bold Essential Necklace, or you can make a statement, for example, with our Wild Flowers pendant. It is important to us that our necklaces are easy to combine and designed to be timeless, so that they can accompany you for many years.

Although it is still claimed otherwise, gold and silver can and may be worn together without hesitation. If you mix your favorite golden and silver chains together, completely new variations are created that additionally loosen up your chain layering and create a completely new look.

There are no limits to your creativity, not only with the materials. When selecting the different designs for your personal chain layering, you can also put together very individual duos, trios or even quartets and quintets. Decorate your neck and décolleté as minimalistically or diversely as you like. Three simple chains of different lengths are just as suitable as three completely different ones. For example, we really like the mix of large chains like ours sunray chain and more delicate necklaces with pendants like ours Sunbeam trailer. The best thing to do is try it out in front of the mirror to see whether you prefer filigree combinations or material mixes with heavy chains, diamonds or pearls.
