Alicia's Diary Necklaces: Delicate, understated, and perfect for stacking and individual styling

How can I layer necklaces?

Layering necklaces isn't an art, but it always looks really good! For the perfect look, simply combine different lengths and textures for a harmonious overall impression. Here's an example: Start with a short chain, add a medium-length link chainand finish the set with a longer pendant necklace. The mix of different structures – like a delicate snake chaincombined with a slightly chunkier chain – creates an interesting eye-catcher. And here's another tip: Bi-color combinations of gold and silver are absolutely on-trend and give your outfit a modern twist!

How do I find the right chain length for me?

The choice of length depends entirely on your neckline and your personal style. A standard length of 40 to 45 cmusually sits just below the collarbone and suits almost every top.

* Tip:You can easily test the ideal length with a piece of string around your neck and then measure it with a ruler. Many of our Alicia's Diary necklaces also have extension chains so you can flexibly adjust them to your outfit.

How do I care for my necklaces to keep them shiny?

To ensure your gold-plated necklaces retain their radiance, you should protect them from moisture. We recommend putting on your jewelry only after applying perfume, hairspray, and lotion, as the ingredients can attack the plating. It's best to store your chains individually and lying flat in a jewelry box – this prevents unsightly knots in the delicate links and avoids micro-scratches from rubbing against other pieces of jewelry.

Which necklace suits which neckline?

The right jewelry frames your face perfectly! A chain that echoes the shape of the neckline, such as a pendant necklace, looks great with a V-neck. For a round neckline, shorter statement pieces or layered looks work wonderfully. If you're wearing a blouse, you can subtly let a delicate chain peek out of the neckline or boldly wear a striking chain over a closed collar.

Are Alicia's Diary necklaces suitable for sensitive skin?

Absolutely! Like our entire range, our necklaces are also nickel-free and skin-friendly. We use high-quality base materials such as stainless steel or 925 sterling silver with robust gold plating, so you can wear your jewelry all day long without irritation. If you tend to have very sensitive skin, we particularly recommend our fine necklaces and smooth snake chains, as these lie especially gently on the skin and prevent purely mechanical irritation.
