How to Layer Necklaces Like a Pro – The City Girl Way

When it comes to jewellery, layering necklaces is a timeless styling trick that instantly elevates your look — whether you're headed to a brunch, a wedding, or just dressing up your favorite white tee. At City Girl Jewellery, we believe accessorizing should be effortless yet impactful. Our wide collection of gold-plated pearl chokers, American diamond pendants, and rhodium-plated sets lets you mix and match like a pro — without breaking the bank.

So, how do you layer necklaces the City Girl way? Here’s your ultimate guide.


1. Start with the Right Base: Chokers or Short Chains

Every great layered look starts with a strong base. A pearl choker necklace or delicate collar-length chain sets the tone. The MANIKYA Adorable Gold Plated Pearl Choker Set is an excellent starting point for both traditional and fusion outfits. It adds sophistication while leaving space for longer pieces.


2. Add a Mid-Length Pendant for Balance

Your second layer should fall below the collarbone. A rhodium or rose gold plated pendant set adds depth without overpowering the look. Try a Manikya American Diamond Brass Rhodium Pendant Set to bring sparkle and elegance into the mix — perfect for Western and Indo-Western attire.


3. Finish with a Longer Necklace or Chain

To complete the layered effect, add a longer necklace that falls closer to your bust line. This creates a balanced “V” shape that flatters most necklines. The City Girl Traditional Long Pendant Chains or statement pieces from our ethnic collection work beautifully here, especially over solid kurtas or high-neck tops.


4. Mix Textures, Metals, and Stones

Don’t be afraid to combine rhodium with gold plating, or American diamonds with pearls and colored hydro CZ stones. For example, layering a pearl choker, a rose gold CZ pendant, and a traditional gold-plated long chain adds richness to your look while reflecting your personality.


5. Know Your Neckline

Styling should work with your outfit, not against it. Here’s a quick cheat sheet:

  • V-neck: Layered V-shaped chains with pendants

  • Crew neck: Chokers and short to mid-length necklaces

  • Deep neckline/blouse: Go bold with all three layers — choker, mid, and long

  • High neck/Kurtis: Focus on statement chokers or long chains only


6. Don't Forget the Earrings

Pairing your layered necklace with subtle studs like the Manikya Brass AD Rhodium-Plated Earrings or Hydro CZ Stone Tops keeps the attention on your neckline. Or go for matching pendant sets with earrings to create a cohesive ensemble.


7. Keep It You: Confidence is Key

The City Girl Way isn’t just about following rules — it’s about owning your style. Whether you're mixing metals or stacking pearls and stones, the key is to feel confident. With jewellery starting from ₹199, you can experiment without limits.
