Necklace Layering 101

While we embrace a "more is more" philosophy when it comes to our daily jewelry (we want to wear all our favorites, all the time!), the art of the necklace layering is a study in balance.

Follow along to discover how we style our collection of Sunroom necklaces (or as some might say, our "neck mess") as a chic, curated ode to maximalism.

Anchor a necklace with a strong visual impact (a weighty stone, a colorful charm, or a statement-making material) with a more minimal chain or complimentary beaded strand. In general, we like having the most impactful necklace be on the longest chain.

We also suggest investing in a couple go-to chains that you can wear multiple ways, and at different lengths — a necessary tool in the necklace-layering toolkit.

Experiment with a unifying palette or type of metal (ie: rose gold, pops of black, Earth tones, punctuating diamonds...) to add a story to your styling.

Think about it like the grown-up version of your beloved childhood charm bracelet — layer multiple charms onto a single strand, each reflections of personal meaning, experiences, and places you treasure.
