The Art of Layering Necklaces Like a Parisian

Because Minimalism Is Overrated

French women don’t follow trends. They set them—quietly, confidently, and always with a touch of elegance. When it comes to jewellery, they understand something many don’t: layering necklaces isn’t about excess, it’s about intention.

Just in time for Black Friday, let’s uncover the secrets of styling multiple necklaces the way Parisians do, using the dreamy pieces from the Les Néréides Black Friday necklaces collection.

1. Start with a Story, Not a Statement

Layering doesn’t mean chaos. The French approach it like building a narrative. Begin with a subtle, delicate chain—something enamelled or nature-inspired from our floral line.

💡 Think of your base layer as the opening line in a romantic novel.

2. Vary the Lengths

The golden rule? Never let your necklaces compete. Let them cascade naturally by mixing:

• Short choker-style pieces
• Mid-length pendant necklaces
• Longer, lightweight chains

🎯 Try this: Pair a ballerina pendant close to the collarbone with a mid-drop bee design, then finish with a whimsical nature-inspired piece.

3. Balance the Bold and the Bare

Statement necklaces love minimal companions. If you're wearing one of our bolder handmade necklaces, add in finer, subtler chains to let it shine without overwhelming your neckline.

🖼 Like curating a gallery wall—not every frame has to scream.

4. Stick to a Theme (But Break the Rules Gently)

French styling isn’t rigid. It’s intuitive. That said, it helps to pick a theme: florals, pastels, or a specific palette. But if your heart says mix a coral charm with a golden swan—do it.

🎨 After all, you’re the artist here.

5. Use Necklaces to Frame the Face

Hair up? Wear your shorter chains to draw the eye up. Wearing a deep neckline? Let the longest necklace be the star.

✨ Tip: Pair your layers with matching Black Friday earrings for a complete Parisian-inspired look.

Black Friday Is the Perfect Time to Start

If you’ve ever wanted to try necklace layering, there’s no better time. The Black Friday necklaces are limited, unique, and exquisitely handcrafted—just like the French muse inside you.

🎁 They also make beautiful gifts (especially when you layer 2–3 for someone special).

Final Word

Layering necklaces isn’t just a style. It’s an attitude. Let each piece whisper a little something about you—your travels, your stories, your eye for beauty.

So, which story will you wear first?
