NAIL THE FOUNDATION

The key piece that will act as an anchor for the rest of your look, whatever comes next.

CONTRAST WITH TEXTURE

Take things up a notch by adding some flair and detail, like a double chain or charm choker to take your look to the next level.

FINISH WITH A FOCAL POINT

Complete the look by adding a pendant or charm to draw the eye and create focus.

BREAK THE RULES

Add color, throw in some pearls and beads, or pare it back with a couple of minimalist chains. Layer any way you want to with jewelry that champions self-expression.

Celebrate simplicity by pairing two or three delicate chains together—each one adding just the right touch of sparkle.

MAKE IT A NECKMESS

The ‘beachy hair’ equivalent, pile multiple necklaces on with confidence with different textures, lengths, shapes and colors. Bless this glorious mess.

PERSONALIZE IT

Make your layers meaningful with engravable pendants or coin necklaces—pieces that feel as personal as they look. Add a locket with a photo only you know is there, or go bold with initial charms that let you casually name drop someone you love (including yourself). At Haute Haus, we believe jewelry should tell your story—one charm, chain, or cherished moment at a time. Because the best layers aren't just stylish—they're full of sentiment.
