Our Guide to Stacked Necklaces & Layering Jewelry
We love stacking and layering jewelry. Combining pieces in a way that looks both polished and sophisticated takes some practice. There is a lot to consider when stacking pieces with different stones, shapes, and colors, but once you find your flair, the possibilities are endless!
You might want to add new life to old rings by finding the perfect 14k gold stackable ring companion to bring them together, or perhaps you have your eye on stacking necklaces that are designed to complement each other. Whether you already have a collection of sophisticated fine jewelry to mix and match or are looking for inspiration to build upon your favorite Liven collections, we can’t wait to help you take your stacks to the next level with stunning layered looks!
Enhance your everyday and special occasion looks by adding a variety of jewelry textures and sizes for the perfect finishing touch. Layering your fine jewelry allows you to immediately update your everyday outfit into something more fun, interesting, and beautiful. You can achieve a truly “wow” look when you incorporate jewelry in a way that feels fashionable and contemporary, without seeming overdone.
From cute chokers to elongated chains and bold gemstones, there are so many types of necklaces that look fabulous on their own, but layering takes necklaces to a whole new level. Mixing and matching can be the perfect way to add multiple accessories to a basic outfit and create a look that has just the right amount of bling.
We love accessorizing outfits with stacked necklaces, such as statement pendants and sweet, understated adjustable pieces that sparkle. These stunning combinations can accentuate the curves of your neck and collarbone or add highlights of texture and color to your outfit.
Whether you have a flair for the bold and dramatic or a deep appreciation for all things delicate, there are many ways you can layer your necklaces with the utmost style.
We love layering some of our most unique pieces, like the pictured One of a Kind Watermelon Tourmaline Necklace, to draw attention and truly make a statement. The haloed style of this necklace beautifully complements a cascading necklace with diamond drops. Tying these necklaces together with a common geometric theme is an out-of-the-box way to experiment with layering.
You may be familiar with some clothing tricks — like wearing all black or vertical stripes — that flatter your shape. Surprisingly, expertly layering your necklaces can similarly be flattering and even slimming.
If you’re new to layering, start by taking two or three pieces of different lengths and experimenting with various combinations. Many necklaces are adjustable, so you can decide which you prefer to keep shorter and those that should dangle lower to make your stacked necklaces stand out.
A modern, chic piece like our Starburst Circle Necklace, is ideal for layering. We love how the high polish rays and circle of diamond accents make your layering pieces shine. Simple, stunning pieces like these can be worn to dress up your everyday apparel or paired with other fine jewelry that you love for more formal occasions.
All that glitters is gold — or rose gold — if you decide to use this trendy metal as a jumping off point for a modern take on necklace layering. Many of our pieces are offered in yellow, white, and rose gold; so you have the option to choose the prettiest pieces that match your individual sense of style.
When you stick to a single metal theme in your stacked necklaces look, you allow the intricate details of your jewelry stand out. This creates a fresh look that’s classically timeless and doesn’t feel overdone.
This method also gives you more freedom to play with a variety of styles that might not otherwise work together! We adore the sweet look of something like the Heirloom Petite Dangle Necklace that shows off a glistening diamond in a manner that moves with you and looks stunning in any light. Pair it with a lovely diamond bar piece for a mixture of shapes and designs that catches the eye and feels oh so modern.
We believe that your jewelry should tell your story, and stacking rings to showcase your individuality is a perfect way to do that. The ways in which you can stack and mix rings to create gorgeous looks is nearly infinite! Some of our favorites are 14k gold stackable rings that manage to make a statement on their own, but just as seamlessly pair with seemingly completely different styles to emerge as a wholly unique vibe. We love how easy and effortless ring stacking can be while managing to look bold and fashion-forward in the best ways possible.
On their own, some of our favorite modern rings exude elegance and sophistication that makes them a wonderful single accessory to complement a cocktail dress or evening gown. Conversely, stacking a few rings in just the right way can add just a touch of rebellious glamour, while still offering a completely contemporary vibe.
Try taking an intricate piece, like our Sunrise Ring, and stacking it with a textured diamond eternity band. Together, these rings create an understated, elegant, and totally timeless look. They’re beautiful when paired with your favorite dress on vacation, or when you wear them with your beloved distressed jeans and a burnout tee as you head out on a coffee date.
In our opinion, you can never wear too much rose gold! Ring stacking with 14k rose gold is a fitting way to represent this beautiful feminine shade and play up your girliness wherever you are headed. Dive right into this look with our blushing morganite ring that shines beautifully and looks oh-so-pretty when paired with a delicate, yet bold Lace Filigree Ring.
Wearing multiple rose gold pieces that range from brightly-colored stones to dainty smooth bands is a fun way to play with texture while maintaining a singular sense of style. Feeling rebellious? Sneak in some gold among the rose gold to add warmth to your skin tone.
Layered bracelets tend to be the most easygoing look to embrace. You have tons of freedom when it comes to layering these pieces, and can be a little easier than playing with stacked necklace looks.
We love how bracelets add an elegant upgrade to any ensemble and how chic layering delicate and bolder pieces creates a mixed media-type look. A spectacular option like the pictured Triple Bezel Diamond Bracelet, featuring a stylized chain motif set with diamonds, has the perfect blend of timeless appeal and modern style. Complementing it with our One of a Kind Multi Rainbow Moonstone Bracelet, also pictured, adds a sweet organic-shaped look that offsets the delicacy and classic look of the bezel piece perfectly.
Unlike with necklaces, you can layer as many bracelets as you want, without looking overdone. Enjoy experimenting with this fresh look!
