How to layer necklaces without a tangle

Three lengths, two weights and one rule: a short guide to layering chains that stay apart.

Start with what you use most

The best piece is the one you reach for without thinking. Think about what you wear most days, and the metal that suits your skin, before you think about the trend.

Look at the details

A clasp that closes with a click, stones set level and a polish that reaches inside the links tell you more than any label.

• Check the length against a chain you already own.
• Look at the clasp and the jump rings.
• Keep the pouch, and use it.

Wear it often

Gold and silver are made to be worn. A piece worn every day keeps its shine better than one left in a drawer.

The best jewellery is the piece you never take off.
