The Art of Layering Necklaces

Layering necklaces is more than just a trend, it’s a way to tell your story through jewellery. Each chain, pendant, and charm you wear says something about who you are, and when they come together, they create a look that’s effortlessly personal.

At ToniMay, we design with this in mind. Many of our pieces are crafted to be layered, with varied chain lengths, unique pendants, and complementary finishes that work in harmony. Whether you’re a minimalist who loves delicate stacks or a maximalist who layers with confidence, there’s an art to creating the perfect combination.

Start with a Hero Piece

Every layered look needs an anchor, the piece that draws the eye first. This could be a statement pendant like our FOB Necklace or a gemstone design such as the Alina Opal Necklace. Your hero piece sets the tone for the rest of your stack, so choose one that feels like “you.”

Play with Lengths

Mix chokers with mid-length chains and longer pendants to create depth. At ToniMay, our adjustable chains, and our handy chain extenders, make it easy to customise your lengths so your layers sit exactly where you want them.

Mix Stones, Colours & Textures

Don’t be afraid to combine different gemstones and hues, it adds depth and personality to your look. Layer vibrant stones with soft neutrals, mix beaded strands with sleek chains, or pair textured elements with smooth finishes for a balanced yet eye-catching stack.
