How To Layer Dainty Gold Necklaces

Other than a few key pieces of jewelry I wear everyday (namely my wedding ring and a threadbare thumb ring) I tend to go through phases with my jewelry. (ahem, remember when those super colorful J.Crew bubble statement necklaces were the trend? woof, I had those things in every color).

Anyway, right now I’m loving layering dainty gold necklaces. I’ve been growing a nice little collection over the past year and recently started wearing a few at a time. I love how easy it is to create a unique and custom look and that I can swap them out daily. This simple gold ball has been in my collection for awhile and I recently discovered Simple & Dainty on Etsy for high-quality affordable pieces. They also have a special layering clasp that I just purchased and it is CLUTCH for preventing layered necklaces from tangling throughout the day! They have an option for 2 or 3 necklaces together.

So how can you layer? Start with a shorter length option, maybe just a plain chain or a single stone charm. 14” or 16” is a good starting length. Then, layer on something slightly longer, about 18” inches, like this gold horn. Finally you can add on some longer necklaces, maybe with a gold pendant at the end. 20” or 22” inches (or longer!) should do the trick.
