How to Layer Necklaces: A Style Guide

Layering necklaces isn’t just a trend — it’s a modern styling technique that allows you to tell your story through jewellery. Whether you’re dressing for a casual day out or an elegant evening event, necklace stacking lets you play with textures, lengths, and sparkle to create a look that’s uniquely yours.

In this guide to layering necklaces, we’ll show you how to style multiple necklaces with confidence. From minimalist pairings to glamorous combinations, Love & Co.’s necklace collections offer versatile pieces that make stacking effortless and elegant.

The Basics of Necklace Layering

Before you start layering, keep these key principles in mind:

Start with a Focal Point

Choose one standout piece — like a pendant necklace or statement chain —as your anchor. This creates structure and focus, making it easier to build around.

Mix Lengths for Dimension

A layered look should have depth. Combine a choker or collar-length chain like the LVC MOD22 Curb Accent Gold Necklace with a mid-length and a long necklace to create visual balance and movement.

Balance Textures and Thickness

Layering isn’t just about stacking the same style. Pair delicate chains with chunkier ones, or combine a diamond pendant like the LVC Promise Signature Diamond Pendant with a smooth gold piece such as the LVC MOD22 Hellenic Heart Gold Pendant for contrast. The mix adds personality and sophistication.

Styling Tips for Different Occasions

1. Everyday Minimalist Layering

Keep it simple with 2–3 fine chains featuring subtle accents. Try pairing the LVC MOD22 Serenity Curve Gold Necklace with a slightly longer necklace like the LVC MOD22 Soul Embrace Gold Necklace for a polished look that transitions easily from morning meetings to dinner dates.

Try:

• Plain gold chains
• Petite pendants or bar necklaces such as the LVC MOD22 Knot & Bar Gold Necklace, which adds a refined geometric element to your stack. 
• A consistent gold tone for cohesion — explore stackable designs from the LVC 9IN collection, crafted in pure 999 gold for timeless elegance.

2. Date Night Glam

Turn heads with bold centrepieces paired with dainty accents. Layer a diamond cross pendant like the LVC Charmes Elegance Cross Diamond Necklace over a structured collar necklace for added sparkle and romance.

Try:

• A bold motif like a heart or floral design — the LVC Charmes Heart of Diamonds Pendant or the LVC 9IN Floral Filigree 999 Gold Necklace add meaningful charm to your stack. 
• Fine gold chains with shimmering accents
• A touch of asymmetry for visual intrigue — the LVC MOD22 Snow Horizon Gold Necklace brings a unique, contemporary twist to any layered look

3. Special Occasions or Weddings

Create a refined and romantic necklace stack by combining shapes and motifs. Consider matching tones and metals to maintain an elevated, cohesive style.

Try:

• Diamond pendants or intricate gold designs
• Statement pieces like the LVC Eterno Noeud Diamond Necklace

Pro Tips for a Flawless Stack

• Layer by neckline: Adapt your necklace lengths to suit your outfit — chokers for strapless, longer pendants for boat necks. (Explore our necklace and neckline guide for more tips.)
• Avoid tangles: Use necklace spacers or choose chains with different thicknesses to reduce overlap.
• Stick to a palette: Mixing metals is bold, but if you’re unsure, keep all your pieces in a similar tone like yellow gold for a chic, seamless look.
