Quick answer: The best dainty layering necklaces are fine chains with one small charm. Layer two or three at different lengths so each one shows, and start with the shortest.
Some necklaces are for big nights. Others are for every day. Dainty necklaces are the ones you never take off. They look good alone and even better layered. Meet Noa, Mia and Ava.
What Is a Good Everyday Necklace?
A good everyday necklace is light, easy and goes with everything. It works with a white tee and a blazer. It is small enough to layer but special enough to wear alone.
Mia: The Small Charm
The Mia Necklace is the smallest of the three. One charm with turquoise detail. Turquoise is tied to balance and clarity. It comes dipped in gold or in silver, and costs $175. Start here.
Noa: Two Looks in One
The Noa Necklace ($215) has pavé charms and a bead. Gold comes with rose quartz. Silver comes with turquoise. Each one comes with a second bead as a gift, so you can swap the look.
One necklace, two ways to wear it.
Ava: A Stack in One Piece
The Ava Necklace ($245) has three beads and two charms, including our signature evil eye. Gold has rose quartz. Silver has turquoise. It looks like a full stack, but it is just one necklace. A modern talisman.
How Do You Layer Necklaces Without Tangling?
Use different lengths so they do not tangle. Put the smallest one, like Mia, on top. Add Noa or Ava lower down. A Chain Extender ($19) helps you get the spacing right. Read our Layering Jewelry Guide.
Can You Mix Gold and Silver Necklaces?
Yes. Try Mia in silver with Noa in gold. See Can You Mix Gold and Silver?.
Which One Should You Choose?
Want simple? Choose Mia. Want to switch your look? Choose Noa and its extra bead. Want the full layered look with one clasp? Choose Ava. All three come in gold and silver, so you can match the metal you already wear. Buy one now and add another later to build your own layered look.
Everyday Necklace Care
Put your necklace on last, after lotion and perfume. Take it off before you swim or work out. Store each necklace on its own so the chains do not tangle. A soft cloth keeps the shine. A little care helps your favorite dainty necklace look new for a long time.
