A stylish trend that has staying power is necklace stacking. It is a great way to elevate any wardrobe and switch up everyday style. Learning how to layer necklaces could be the key to updating your look and utilizing jewelry differently. Chains-on-chains assembly isn’t always as effortless as it seems, so we turned to Gorjana Reidel, co-founder of the jewelry brand Gorjana, for her expert tips and advice.
Shoppers can visit Gorjana’s Heights, Montrose, or new Rice Village boutiques for beautiful high-end and fashion-inspired jewelry to mix and match for every season.
According to Reidel, the ideal number of necklaces for a great-looking stack is between two and four. She also notes that many Gorjana stylists and shoppers layer three to four necklaces that vary in length, mixing stones, colors, pendants, and simple chains for a cohesive look. While stacking with simple chains gives an effortless vibe, adding pendants and color into the mix also elevates the look.
“We believe that the jewelry you wear tells a story. And our charms are an easy way to personalize your look and have fun with your layers or wear alone for a strong, solo statement,” said Reidel.
The co-founder thinks everyone should just have fun when it comes to mixing metal. “We love seeing our customers explore the bounds of their style, combining gold and silver into one look. Our jewelry is designed to mix, match, layer, and have a lot of fun with – including mixing metals.”
Step One
Find a base layer: Find a simple and timeless chain, like our 14k Parker Micro Mini Necklace, that will pair seamlessly with any style, including colors, mixed metals, birthstones, and charms.
Step Two
Add a pop of color or pendant: Add a playful pop of color or personal charm to your base design. Our Amour Necklace offers the perfect seasonal touch of red for spring and summer.
Step Three
Mix lengths and textures: Our stylists are experts at finding different chain lengths and textures that complement each other while making each layer stand out. We love pairing two complementing textures that vary in length, like our popular Diamond Alphabet Necklace with our 14k Gold Micro Mini Venice Necklace. To finish the look with a final statement, layer with a personalized pendant design like our Birthstone Coin Necklace.
