Style Guide: How to Wear Sterling Silver Necklaces

The Solo Statement

A single delicate chain or pendant worn alone is effortlessly chic. Choose a fine chain with a small pendant for a minimal, editorial look that works with any neckline.

The Layered Look

Layering necklaces is one of the biggest jewellery trends — and sterling silver makes it easy. Mix lengths and textures for a curated, intentional look. Try pairing a choker-length piece with a mid-length chain and a longer pendant for a perfectly balanced stack.

Tips for layering:

Vary the lengths — aim for at least 2–3 inches between each piece
Mix fine chains with slightly chunkier styles for contrast
Keep metals consistent — all silver for a clean, cohesive look
Use a layering clasp to keep chains from tangling

Occasion Styling

Everyday wear – Fine chain or simple pendant, worn alone
Work – Minimal layered look, nothing too long or distracting
Evening out – Bolder pendant or a full layered stack
Gifting – A classic pendant necklace in a gift box is always a winner

Necklace Lengths Guide

14–16 inch (choker) – Sits at the collarbone, great for open necklines
18 inch (princess) – The most versatile length, sits just below the collarbone
20–22 inch (matinee) – Ideal for layering or wearing with higher necklines

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your necklaces real silver?

Yes. Every Bellivette necklace is made from genuine 925 sterling silver, hallmarked and certified. No plated base metals or mystery alloys.

Will a sterling silver necklace tarnish?

Our necklaces are rhodium-plated, which significantly slows tarnishing. Store your necklace in a dry place, away from perfume and moisture, to keep it looking its best.

What length necklace should I buy?

The most versatile length is 18 inches (princess length), which sits just below the collarbone and suits most necklines. If you're unsure, this is always a safe choice.

Do your necklaces make good gifts?

Absolutely. All Bellivette necklaces arrive in elegant gift packaging, making them perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's Day, or Christmas. Browse our jewellery sets for the best gifting options.
