The Art of Layering: Tips for Styling Your JewelryOctober 6, 2023
Introduction: Embracing the Art of Jewelry Layering
With the seasons changing, so do the jewelry trends. There is always a new jewelry trend to follow, so it can be difficult to know what’s trending right now. But there is one trend that has always been in style: layering. Layering is a timeless trend that allows us to express ourselves in a bold and stylish way. Whether you want to add your outfit a touch of elegance with thin gold bracelets, or make a statement with chunky gold chains, we have everything you need at Bayam.
But layering isn’t just about wearing everything you have together, there are a few things to consider. In this blog post, we will talk about how to create the perfect layered look, including which pieces work well together, and how to balance lengths and proportions.
Choosing Complementary Pieces: Creating Harmony in Layers
When layering jewelry, it is important to choose complementary pieces to ensure that your jewelry enhances your look rather than overpowering it. Here are some things to consider to help you pick the best jewelry to layer:
Metal Color
The best way to create a harmonious blend of jewelry is to wear the same colored metals. For example, if you prefer rose gold, stick to rose gold for all your pieces to ensure consistency.
Or you can wear complementary colors together. For example, you can layer a White Gold Rope Chain Bracelet with a Diamond-Cut Last Supper Jesus Bracelet in Yellow White Gold. The white gold Rope Chain Bracelet complements the smaller white design of the Diamond-Cut Last Supper Jesus Bracelet beautifully, and creates a striking look. For tri-color designs like the Valentino Link Chain Necklace and Valentino Link Chain Bracelet, you can layer them with yellow, white, or rose gold as the Valentino Link Chain design itself has all three colors.
Size
Size is also important when it comes to layering. Wearing same-sized gold chains, like two thin Round Box Chains, creates an elegant look that is guaranteed to complement any outfit.
Style
You should also be consistent with your style. Certain gold chains and gold bracelets are dainty and elegant while others are chunky and bold, so you should choose your pieces depending on the overall look you want to achieve.
Balancing Lengths and Proportions: Building Dimension and Depth
But your jewelry doesn’t have to be the same size and length for it to be stylish. You can layer different sizes and lengths to add dimension and depth to your style.
So instead of wearing two same-size gold chains, you can layer one short chain with a longer chain to create a more visually appealing look. In terms of size, wearing two thick chains doesn’t always have the same effect as wearing one thick chain with a thinner chain, as pairing elegant pieces with bold ones creates a more striking look.
For example, you can layer a short, thick Miami Cuban Link Chain with a long, thin Figaro Link Chain. And if you want to elevate your style even further, you can add a small pendant to your Figaro Link Chain, like our Diamond Cut Last Supper Charm Pendant, to even out the thickness of the Cuban Link Chain.

Mixing Metals and Styles: Adding Contrast and Personality
For those who prefer a unique look, layering different colors and styles is a great way to achieve this. For example, you can layer a short Herringbone Chain with a longer White Gold Rope Chain to create a truly unique and luxurious look. For gold bracelets, you can layer a yellow gold Paperclip Bracelet with a White Gold Bead Bracelet. Even though they are different styles and colors, they complement each other well, so what’s important is to find styles that go well together.
