Of course, there is an “art” to your layers that involves the length and your wardrobe needs. You can find this guide, along with style tips here!
From glamourous to edgy to playful, shop a curation of discerning layering necklaces that reflect your interests and your values…
SHOP LAYERED NECKLACES DESIGNED BY WOMEN!
POLISH AND GRIT: DEBRA NAVARRO
With Debra’s signature “tenda” cut, you can peer into the soul of her gemstones through this single (sometimes two), polished flat facet.
“Tenda” is a Swahili verb, which means “to do good” - and that is exactly what Debra Navarro’s jewels do!
She hand selects her special jewelry “ingredients” from artisanal miners in East Africa.
PILE ON PINK: JFINE
Argyle Pink Diamonds can symbolize the enduring strength and brilliant power of women.
Best of all, Mother Nature’s pink diamond wonders are responsibly sourced. Beyond being traceable, this means protecting people, their skills, and the natural environment.
BOLD CLASSICS: ZAFFIRO
Every jewelry wardrobe needs “classics” that are universal to wear to brunch or the boardroom. Zaffiro’s designs are literally such timeless style staples!
They are hand-fabricated using an ancient technique practiced by the Etruscans 4,000 years ago: granulation!
These delicate gold spheres accent bold gemstones with charisma!
ELEMENTAL LAYERING: KRISTIN HANSON
Air! Fire! Water! Earth!
Our ancient ancestors believed gemstones were imbued with special properties, such as protection, courage, or wisdom.
Kristin’s work interprets nature’s elements of air, fire, water, and earth and celebrates incredible beauty and power within us as women.
ANCIENT MEETS EDGY ELEGANCE: DUBINI JEWELLERY
Dubini Jewellery’s necklaces are layered in history - literally since ancient times!
Benedetta’s beautiful jewels incorporate coins from our great, ancient civilizations (Greek, Persian and Roman, and beyond) and blend Italian jewelry-making techniques with her modern, feminine aesthetic.
Imagine embracing your inner Artemis or the clever power of a sphinx for an epic addition to your collection!
TRACEABLE, ETHICAL, SUSTAINABLE: THESIS GEMS
Cate of Thesis Gems blends old-world techniques, modern design, and responsibly sourced jewelry “ingredients”.
This means her gemstones are traceable, sustainable, and ethically sourced - supporting people, their skills, and preserving the environment.
With her jewelry, you are truly wearing your values.
SPARKLE MEETS SCIENCE: DAOU JEWELLERY
I revel in sharing this STEM Jewel by Daou Jewellery not only because it is inspired by science, but because the woman who designed it is a 3rd generation jeweler with post-graduate and physics degrees!
The wonders of science and the cosmos are infused into Dalia’s modern vision of classic designs!
Conclusion: these jewels are exponentially epic to the nth power.
ELEGANT REBEL: LE STER
Le Ster’s work is supercharged with energy, color, and light. It fuses contrary forces of strong and gentle, graphic and soft in a way that is dynamically wearable.
Aisheen’s work is inspired by sparks, fireworks, and the “thunderflash”: A pyrotechnic device that once activated explodes with a loud bang and a flash.
This moment captured in a jewel symbolizes power, confidence, and determination for the “elegant rebel” who wears it.
LAYER IT ON: TALISWOMEN
Throughout time, gemstones are believed to be imbued with special properties, such as wisdom, courage, or protection.
The TalisWOMEN series was created to remind you who you are and what you are made of.
With delicate layering necklaces or long sautoirs to loop around your neck, you can wear your values and manifest what you aim to achieve!
3 TIPS TO AVOID TANGLED LAYERING NECKLACES!
1. THE POWER OF DIVERSITY
One way to avoid tangles is to choose staking necklaces that are a diversity of lengths, thicknesses, chains, and materials.
Be aware that softer gemstones, such as pearls and opals and will be scratched by harder gemstones and metals.
2. UNITE YOUR LAYERS
Try connecting them together by way of attaching multiple necklaces to the same jump ring. This will make them less likely to tangle, given the clasps are bound together in one place.
Necklace spacers (also referred to as detanglers) can help. That said if the necklaces are the same length, thickness, or material the outcome will be less effective.
3. TO WEAR OR NOT TO WEAR
A universal rule of thumb for fine jewelry is to remove it (and store it in a secure place) before playing sports, bathing, and sleeping.
Avoiding all of these while wearing your layering necklaces will alleviate unfortunate tangles, knots, and damage.
NOTE: Do not apply baby powder or baby oil to your fine jewelry - it will dull the luster.
