How to Layer Necklaces – The Foolproof Way!

Jewelry· Jewelry Making Basics· Necklaces

Hey friends, I’ve got a really fun and ultra-easy jewelry project for you to try today! Do you love layered necklaces but don’t know how to create that look? I’ll show you how to layer necklaces with the new Layered Looks jewelry collection. The sets are perfect for beginners, with everything you need to make matched necklaces all included!  You just need a couple of basic jewelry-making tools, and you can make a whole set of layering necklaces in minutes.

Layered-Looks-How-to-layer-necklaces-Crafts-UnleashedI’ll share the basic how to layer necklaces instructions today, and I’m also including a video tutorial walking you through how easy it is to make this great layered set of charm necklaces.

First  things first: choose a set you love.  Which could be tough, because there are SO many different styles and themes to choose from!  I’ll be showing you photos of the silver chevron kit in today’s photo step-by-step.

Layered-Looks-How-to-layer-necklaces-Crafts-Unleashed-3Then, gather your tools.  You will only need basic jewelry tools for this project.

How to layer necklaces supplies:supply-list

  • Layered Looks Jewelry Making Kit
  • Jewelry Pliers & Wire Cutters (I recommend getting the 5-piece jewelry tool set if you’re just starting out)
  • Ruler

Layered-Looks-How-to-layer-necklaces-Crafts-Unleashed- 4You will notice that two pairs of pliers are shown here, which isn’t absolutely necessary, though if you have two pairs, it can be helpful to open and close jump rings when you use pliers on both sides of the opening.

Layered-Looks-How-to-layer-necklaces-Crafts-Unleashed-5The kit comes with 20 inches of chain already attached to the charms, and the jump rings and clasps you will need to complete your layered necklaces.

Layered-Looks-How-to-layer-necklaces-Crafts-Unleashed-6Just measure the chain to your desired length, and cut off the excess.

Layered-Looks-How-to-layer-necklaces-Crafts-Unleashed-7Finally, twist open a jump ring to finish each end.  Before twisting it closed again, add a lobster clasp to one side (typically the right side as you’d put it on, if you’re right handed).

Repeat to additional necklaces, varying the length of the chain to make a great coordinated set!

Layered-Looks-How-to-layer-necklaces-Crafts-Unleashed-0If you’re a fan of YouTube videos to learn new techniques, I’ve also got you covered today!  I’m also sharing this how to layer necklaces video with you that shows you how I made all three necklaces in the river crystal kit in about 5 minutes!

Layered-Looks-How-to-layer-necklaces-Crafts-Unleashed-1I love making jewelry, and I love the simplicity of these charm necklaces, so I hope that if you’re considering getting started, you try out one (or a few!) of these kits for yourself, because it really doesn’t get any easier than the Layered Looks line.  Happy crafting!

    You’re right about saying that I should choose a pendant set that I love if I’m going to layer them. I think that since Bohemian fashion is trendy nowadays, I should choose pendants that have that theme to layer them on my clothes. I’ve seen that many Coachella festivals incorporate Bohemian clothes to them as well, so if I’m going to one, I might get in with that trend as well.

    You can connect them at the closure, if you prefer, but I added separate clasps to all my chains so that I could mix and match!
