How to layer your necklaces with style

Necklace Layering: How to Style It Right

Necklace layering — also known as "layering" — has become a must in modern jewelry styling. When done right, it adds dimension to your outfit, catches the light, and reflects your personality.
But how do you create a harmonious stack without overdoing it? At Waekura, we’re sharing our best tips for effortless, chic, and well-balanced layering.

1. 💡 Play with lengths
The golden rule: mix different lengths. Start with a subtle choker, add a medium-length necklace (like a medallion), then finish with a longer chain or a pendant.
👉 Example of a Waekura combo:

• Delicate chain necklace

• Engraved medallion

• Freshwater pearl pendant

💛 Pro tip: 3 necklaces are enough. Beyond that, keep the rest of your look minimal for a clean and elegant result.

2. ✨ Mix textures
Combining smooth chains with chunkier links, or adding a natural pearl to a gold stack, creates a subtle and elegant contrast.

👉 At Waekura, we love pairing:

• A simple chain

• A twisted link necklace like Emile, that goes with everything

• A hint of pearl to soften the whole look

💛 This brings rhythm and balance — without going over the top.

3. 🎨 Tell a story
Every piece of jewelry can hold meaning: a memory, a date, an intention.
Layer necklaces that reflect who you are — or make a personalized piece the centerpiece of your stack.

👉 Example:

• A letter or initial necklace

• A symbolic pendant

• A fine chain to tie it all together
