The Maximalist Den: Layered Necklaces

By now you must know: the more layered necklaces, the more impact. Aligning necklaces together is all about proportions, material and placement to create a statement-making rendition of layers. From the interchange of different-length necklace chains to the contrast of mixed metal to the expression exuded through charms, a lot comes into play to create the perfect necklace stack.

Opt for the delicate glint of a Chanel layered pearl necklace cascading gracefully alongside a dainty gold chain. It's a study in contrast and elegance that captures the essence of modern luxury. And to add a touch of rebellion to your stack, mix in a chunky chain necklace for an unexpected twist that commands attention. Balance chunky bold links with slim chains, or throw in some equally sized chains with multicolor stones for a greater influence.

We love the allure of a statement choker like the Dior Rasta choker stacked with a set of layered necklaces in gold for an eye-catching look.
