How to Layer a Stunning Diamond Necklace

August 9th, 2017

Diamond necklaces are a special piece of jewelry to say the least – they fit well with any attire and belong at any event. It is a statement piece that ensures you stand out. Yet as popular as a diamond necklace may be among fine jewelry fans, it’s a piece that comes in countless varieties. A diamond necklace can be a simple piece, dangling from a thin chain of precious metal. It can be a heavy piece, meant to make a statement with gemstones, intricate detail, and significant weight (fashion-wise, of course). It can also be a pendant, meant to sparkle and shine with a single dangling design.

No matter its style, aesthetic, or design, a diamond necklace is meant to stand out. Quality diamonds set against any neckline capture light, shimmering and framing the wearer in a bouquet of sparkle. A diamond necklace is always and forever chic. However, wearing this piece of jewelry can captivate in entirely new ways when worn as a layered set. Here’s how to style multiple gemstone-laden pieces from Merry Richards Jewelers in the Chicago area. 

Add a Longer Necklace

Your next layering step is to choose a necklace that’s longer than your favorite piece. This ensures you’ll have a piece that’s below all others added later on. The longer, or longest, diamond necklace should reach past your shirt’s neckline. An important factor in choosing your longer-length necklaces is delicacy—a longer necklace should be a more delicate piece to be certain not to detract from the central, and first, diamond necklace. Choose a necklace such as the Simon G. Modern Enchantment CH103 or TACORI The Ivy Lane SN214Y to add detail as well as delicacy to your layered diamond necklace look.
