Trends may come and go, but one timeless style that the fashion girlies always go for is a stacked look, especially layered necklaces and earrings. The art of combining multiple styles to create a cool and personalized look has become a fashion staple. Whether you are a trendsetter or newer to exploring your style, mastering the art of layered jewelry can effortlessly elevate your look. In this guide you'll learn the intricacies of layering jewelry and explore curated layered jewelry sets. Be ready to explore your style! 

How to Layer Jewelry:

Layering jewelry is a creative and personal expression of style. The key is to find the right balance, ensuring that each piece complements the others without overwhelming the overall look. Start by choosing a focal point – this could be a statement necklace, a pendant, or a unique charm. Once you have your centerpiece, build around it with complementary pieces of varying lengths and textures.

Mixing different types of metals, stones, and materials can add depth and interest to your layered look. Consider combining delicate chains with chunkier pieces or introducing a pop of color with gemstone accents. Remember, the goal is to create a cohesive yet dynamic look that reflects your unique style.

How to Layer Necklaces:

Layering necklaces is an art that involves balancing lengths, textures, and styles. Here are our pro tips and tricks to help you master the technique:

Varying Lengths: The key to a well-layered necklace look is to choose necklaces of different lengths. Combine a choker with a mid-length pendant and a longer chain to create a balanced look. A lot of our necklaces come in different sizes to cater to your stacking needs! 

Mixing Styles: Experiment with different necklace styles to add dimension. Pair a dainty chain with a bold statement piece or mix delicate pendants with chunky beads. This contrast adds visual interest and personality to your style.

Consider Neckline: Pay attention to the neckline of your outfit when layering necklaces. V-necklines pair well with longer chains, while crewnecks may benefit from a combination of choker and mid-length necklaces.

Balance is Key: Avoid overcrowding your neck with too many necklaces. Aim for balance by choosing pieces that work together. If one necklace is particularly bold, balance it with simpler, more dainty pieces.

How to Use a Necklace Extender:

Do you ever wish a necklace was just a little bit longer, to stack perfectly with your other necklaces? You are in luck, because we designed the perfect necklace extender to fit that need! The 3 piece set of 3 inch extenders comes in gold, silver and rose gold. The extender easily attaches to any necklace of your choice, whether it's a choker or chain. Once it's attached you can close the clasp on any loop, to find your perfect length. This secret weapon to your style should be a staple in your jewelry box!

Layered Jewelry Sets:

If you are looking for a simple alternative to layering the jewelry you already have, layered jewelry sets are perfect for you! Adina Eden’s layered jewelry sets range from curated earring stacks and necklace stacks, along with ring sets and bracelet sets! Here's why investing in a layered jewelry set can simplify your accessorizing process:

Effortless Coordination: The primary advantage of layered jewelry sets is the ease of coordination. Since each piece is designed to complement the others, you can effortlessly achieve a layered look without thinking about if a certain necklace will match your earrings.

Consistent Aesthetic: Layered jewelry sets often follow a consistent aesthetic, whether it's bold, classic, or dainty. This ensures that every piece contributes to a harmonious overall look, making it easier to achieve a polished and elevated style.

Time-Saving: If you're short on time or prefer a hassle-free approach to accessorizing, a layered jewelry set can be a time-saving solution. With all pieces pre-selected and designed to work together, you can rely on your curated jewelry set without the need for trial and error.

What Earrings Go with Layered Necklaces:

Earrings play a crucial role in completing a layered jewelry look, enhancing the overall balance and harmony. Here's how to choose the right earrings to compliment your layered necklaces:

Studs for Simplicity: If your layered necklaces are already bold and eye-catching, consider going for simple stud earrings. This minimalist choice ensures your neck stack gets all the attention while balancing out your complete look. 

Hoop Earrings for Versatility: Hoop earrings are a versatile choice that can complement a wide range of layered necklace styles. Whether you're rocking a statement look or a more classic style, hoops add a touch of sophistication without overpowering the overall aesthetic.

Statement Earrings for Drama: If your layered necklaces are on the subtler side, consider adding a touch of drama with statement earrings. This can be an opportunity to introduce additional textures or colors, creating a cohesive and polished look.

Match Metals: To maintain a unified look, consider matching the metal tones of your earrings with those of your layered necklaces. This creates a seamless transition between the different elements of your overall look. Don’t get me wrong, mixing metals is a great choice too, but for those who prefer simplicity it’s best to keep it all the same. 

Layering jewelry is an expressive way to showcase your personal style. Whether you're a bold risk taker with statement pieces or lean towards classic elegance, mastering the art of layered jewelry allows you to create unique and eye-catching looks. From experimenting with different necklace lengths and styles to carefully choosing earrings that enhance rather than compete, the possibilities are endless. And for those who prefer a curated and coordinated approach, layered jewelry sets offer a convenient and stylish solution. So, dive into the world of layered jewelry, and let your creativity shine as you elevate your style to new heights.
