Necklaces do so much more than complete an outfit—they tell a story, highlight your style, and add a unique touch to any look. Finding the right length and layering them beautifully is an art, but don’t worry—we’re here to make it effortless!

At 314 Studio, we curate beautiful, versatile necklaces that make stacking easy and fun. Whether you love delicate layers or bold combinations, let’s explore how to create the perfect look.

Understanding Necklace Lengths & How to Style Them

Each necklace length has its own character and purpose. Here’s how to make them work for you:

Choker (14-16 inches)

• Sits high on the neck for a sleek, modern touch

• Pairs perfectly with off-shoulder or V-neck tops

• Works great as a base layer, especially when paired with slightly longer chains like 17-19 inches

Such as this sweet Mini Flora Necklace

Princess (16-18 inches)

• Falls just above the collarbone—a classic, versatile length

• Effortlessly complements most necklines

• A perfect foundational piece to layer with shorter chokers or longer matinee styles

Such as this Pavé Diamond Pendant 

Princess/Matinee (18-20 inches)

• Sits on the collarbone, creating a balanced and flattering effect

• A great go-to piece for elevating everyday outfits

• Layers beautifully with both short chokers and longer statement necklaces

Such as this Petal Necklaces 14k Gold 

Matinee (20-24 inches)

• Hangs slightly below the collarbone, adding a bit of drama

• Ideal for layering over high-neck tops or solid-colored turtlenecks

• Adds depth and dimension when styled with shorter, dainty necklaces

            Such as this Stardust Pendant 

Opera/Rope (24-36 inches)

• Falls to the bust or lower, creating an elegant, bold statement

• Perfect for longline silhouettes or stacking with multiple shorter chains

• Can be worn single or doubled up for a versatile look (just ensure it has a clasp for doubling!)

Such as this Deco Necklace 

How to Layer Necklaces Like a Stylist

Layering necklaces is an art that allows you to express your personal style while ensuring each piece complements the others. Here’s how to achieve the perfect stacked look:

✅ Start with a Base: Choose a choker or princess-length necklace as your foundation.

✅ Add Depth: Incorporate a matinee-length chain to create a smooth transition between lengths.

✅ Introduce a Statement Piece: Finish with an opera-length necklace for dramatic flair or mix textures with pendants and charms.

✅ Mix Metals & Textures: Combine different finishes like gold and silver or experiment with smooth and hammered designs for visual interest.

✅ Consider Neckline & Outfit: Make sure your layered look enhances your clothing instead of competing with it.
