Layer Pearl Necklaces Without Tangles

Freshwater pearls symbolize loyalty, shared memories, and integrity, making them the perfect gift for yourself or a loved one. While these pearls are elegant and dainty, they can become a problem when they get tangled with other necklaces.

Before you can start layering pearl necklaces, you want to learn how to keep your necklaces separated to avoid tangling and damage. It can take a little trial and error to find the best solution, but there are several tips you can try to keep your chains secure.

Layer your pearl necklaces by length and choose different lengths to prevent them from overlapping. Three necklaces are usually the ideal amount for layering, with one necklace taking center stage. Our ‘Sparkling Eyes’ pearl necklace is an elegant choice to layer with smaller pendants and delicate chains.
