Necklaces

Necklaces made for layering and everyday wear

A great necklace does double duty — it stands on its own and plays well stacked with others. Our collection ranges from fine gold chains to colorful gemstone and silk-cord styles, so you can mix lengths, textures, and metals into a look that's entirely yours.

Necklace styles to shop

Gold chains — Classic chain necklaces and watch-chain styles for everyday layering.

Layering necklaces — Mix lengths and pendants to build a stacked look.

Gemstone & beaded necklaces — Lapis, malachite, and coral strands for color.

Silk-cord necklaces — Thatch Coco cords in rich seasonal shades.

Chokers & collars — Close-fitting styles to anchor a stack.

Charm-enhancer necklaces — Bases built to carry your charms.

Materials

Our necklaces come in solid yellow and white gold, gold-fill, sterling silver, and rhodium, plus beaded gemstones and durable silk and paracord — pieces that range from fine and delicate to everyday-tough.

How to layer necklaces

Start with a shorter piece like a choker or collar, add a mid-length chain, then finish with a longer pendant or charm necklace. Varying the lengths keeps each piece visible. Add a charm and a charm connector to personalize any chain, or pair with earrings to complete the look.
