SKYDOG Style: Layering Necklaces (tips, how to)
SKYDOG Style
We believe jewelry should be an individual expression of style, so SKYDOG is designed for you to wear and style your way.
For this, we love necklace layering; an effective and popular way to create a personalized jewelry look. Here’s our take on this now long-standing trend.
Make it Personal
The popularity of the layering trend means it is now possible to pick up ready-made necklace stacks. But we think the magic of this look is in how personal it can be, and that’s why we suggest a more curated approach.
Style your SKYDOG with each other and with your existing collection. If you have meaningful and vintage pieces, pairing them with something sleek and modern, such as the Zoe necklace, updates your look and makes your heirloom pieces feel fresh.
Combining different color and textures makes for an immediately individual look. Choose to coordinate or clash your gemstones and even metal color
If your stack already features color gems, the Electra necklace is a chic way to add a little diamond sparkle. A collection of traditional necklaces in plain metal or diamond will benefit from a pop of color – even the simplest gemstone piece (such as our Callie Solitaire creates an immediate focus and contrast.
If you favor a cohesive color palette, try pairing faceted stones with cabochon or inlay as a subtle way to vary the textures in your layered look.
Avoiding Necklace Tangles
If there’s one thing that puts people off layering necklaces, it’s fear of tangles. The simplest way to avoid this problem is to ensure variety in your stack.
First, wear your necklaces at different lengths; a 16 inch chain with a 18 inch pendant, for instance.
Second, vary your pieces, combining necklaces and chains with pendants. Pendants are a great addition to your stack as the weight of the piece helps keep the chain separate from others.
Finally, contrast the type and gauge of chain in your stack. Our modern belcher chains pair beautifully with your vintage gold chains, and the greater the difference in weight the less likely they are to tangle.
