Handmade dainty necklaces—made in Britain by independent jewellery designers

Dainty necklaces are delicate and often minimalist necklaces that are designed to be worn on a daily basis. They are typically made from fine chains and feature small pendants or charms, such as a single diamond, a small gold or silver bar, a tiny initial pendant, or a delicate coloured gemstone.

Dainty necklaces are popular because they are versatile and can be worn with a variety of outfits, from casual to evening-wear. They are also great for layering, so you can wear multiple necklaces at once to create a stylish and unique look.

How to stack dainty necklaces

Stacking dainty necklaces is a fun and versatile way to add a unique and personalised touch to your outfit, as well as injecting style and personality.

Start with a base necklace: Choose a slightly longer and more substantial chain as your base necklace. This will help anchor the rest of your dainty necklaces and create a balanced look.

Mix and match styles: Don't be afraid to mix and match different styles, textures, and metals. For example, you could pair a delicate gold chain with a silver pendant or mix a beaded necklace with a simple chain.

Vary the lengths: To create depth and interest, vary the lengths of your dainty necklaces. Layering necklaces of different lengths can help to create a cascading effect that looks beautiful and balanced.

Play with pendant shapes: If you have multiple dainty necklaces with pendants or charms, try layering them so that the pendants fall at different lengths. This can create a more dynamic and interesting look.
