Layering | Delicate Necklaces


One of the things I’ve been drawn to lately is layering delicate necklaces. I played with this trend a bit, but never fully committed to the look- probably because my dainty necklaces don’t lend themselves that well to layering – or perhaps it’s because I just don’t have enough of them!! It’s probably the latter…

Aside from the ones I found on Etsy and other stores above – here are some of my other favorites!!


The biggest question is how many is too many…the general consensus I’ve seen is anything over 4 and you’re pushing it! I really like the ones that hit high on the collar bone and then there is a good chunk of space before the next necklace! I also really like the ones that take the work out of it and just come pre-bundled with three already!! 






Here is my best attempt at layering! 

Apologies for the grainy picture…


Have you tried the layering trend?

    I like no more than 3 though I tend to forget to wear jewelry on most days. Oops!

    I love this this trend. The look you created is perfect. While I admire how delicate and pretty this looks my children are not very gentle with my jewelry…I normally opt for more sturdy pieces lol. XO

    I'm obsessed with dainty layered necklaces! I desperately want an arrowhead one or shark tooth one to add to my collection LOL! I have that Dogeared one and I LOVE it! I actually have it in Ohio and Florida. Love the look you did!

    I love the layered look, it's so pretty and feminine. But, I'm so scared I'll tangle them while wearing them and look like a hot mess. You, my dear, look fabulous!

    LOVE this look. I've been wanting a dainty gold necklace for everyday, but I love dressing it up a notch by layering a few. These are going on my bday wishlist. And you should invest in a few more πŸ™‚

    I love delicate gold necklaces, and I wear mine together all of the time! Sometimes I'll wear two together, or three. The lengths are different too. We also have some really pretty delicate necklaces at work and we layer them there sometimes too. πŸ™‚

    I love layered necklaces, but I don't have enough dainty ones to make it work, I guess its time to go shopping πŸ™‚

    I can’t get enough of the layered look too! For me the magic number is 3. It’s just finding 3 that work well together that’s the hard part..

    Love these layered looks! I've always liked this style, but never knew quite how to put them together. I will definitely have to try this!

    Layering is so pretty – I love all of those pictures! I agree about where do you draw the line. I'm kinda boring so I just stick to two at a time haha, but I think a person could pull off 3 or 4!

    I'm obsessed with this look this summer but I'm also layering challenged. The 2nd and 4th pics are my favorite. I do think the secret is sticking to 3 or 4 necklaces with small charms (or no charms).

    I'm loving these dainty necklaces- the most I've layered is 2. I need some more in my life as well!! xo

    I've been loving the layered look lately as well! I tend to lean more towards the pieces that come together and are all connected since the separate pieces tend to get very tangled and twisted on me!

    I LOVE the layered look!! I agree that anything over 4 is too much, and depending on the necklace 4 can be too much sometimes!

    My coworker can pull this look off so effortlessly. I've honestly never even tried layering (I'm usually more of an earrings girl) but I think you did a great job!

    That fourth image is so perfect, those necklaces are all so pretty! I wear a sterling and diamond heart necklace on a short-ish chain every single day for the past 13 years {it was a Christmas gift from my mom when I was 12 and it never comes off} so whenever I have another necklace I want to wear it has to complement that. I usually go for a much longer chain that hits at the breast bone or so, and it usually makes for a fun look! So layering necklaces gets a big thumbs-up from me.

    I LOVE layering dainty necklaces! This is my go-to most days! I think it is so chic and effortless and timeless! But let's be honest, I started doing it way back in the day because LC was doing it πŸ™

    I absolutely love the layered look. But I know that in all reality anything more than two won't lay so nicely and they'll get all tangled up. Every time I want to try and do it all I can think of are knotted up necklaces!

    I'm not a huge accessories person but I think I would wear all of these necklaces if I had them in my collection! I love more dainty pieces and layering them is so fun! I feel like I never have the right kind of tops when I try and wear certain necklaces!
