The 3-Layer Formula

Start with a choker or 14-16 inch chain, add a mid-length pendant at 18 inches, finish with a 20-24 inch statement piece. Odd numbers look intentional.

Mind the Length Gap

Keep at least 2 inches between layers so each piece is visible. Equal lengths tangle and visually merge into one.

Mix Textures, Not Just Lengths

Pair a smooth snake chain with a rope chain and a pendant. Texture contrast reads as deliberate styling rather than clutter.
