Layer Guide: How to layer your jewelry

For the perfect layering, start with the shortest chain and then work your way up your décolleté step by step. Short curb chains or subtle chokers are particularly suitable as a basis, as they offer enough space on the neck for further chains. Your chosen necklace should be between 35 and 40 cm long if possible.

In the next step you add a medium-length chain of about 40 to 45 cm. Whether it's a filigree chain or something more eye-catching: You take your layered look to another level if you vary between different structures and metals, because that's how you create beautiful contrasts. So dare and integrate a chunky chain or bicolor chain into your layering.

For your perfect layering, a key piece should not be missing either! Of course, the layering on your décolleté also looks beautiful with simple chains - but the look is only really extraordinary when a striking chain stands out as an eye-catcher. As a highlight of the layering, 45 to 50 cm long chains with a pendant are suitable for this - for example with a symbol, a pearl or a coin. A beautiful gemstone necklace can also make your layering even more exciting.

In order to round off your chain layering optimally, you decide in the last step for the longest chain, which should definitely be longer than 50cm. A subtle Y-chain or basic chains are particularly suitable for this.
