Double-Layered Stainless Steel Necklace | 100100913623028

How to Measure

Confirm your preferred fit before ordering or styling by measuring the following:

• Short layer length: Measure end-to-end including clasp (exclude the extender unless you plan to use it). Typical: 14–16 in (35–40 cm).
• Long layer length: Measure end-to-end including clasp. Typical: 18–20 in (45–50 cm).
• Layer spacing (gap): Aim for a 2–3 in (5–8 cm) difference between layers to reduce tangling and define tiers.
• Extender length (if included): Commonly 2 in (5 cm) for fine-tuning.
• Chain thickness: Measure the width in millimeters (e.g., 1.5–3 mm) for visual weight.
• Pendant size (if any): Measure height from the top of the bail to the bottom of the pendant and note the width.

1. Wrap a soft measuring tape around your neck at the point you want the shorter layer to sit. Note the number; add 0.5–1 in (1–2 cm) for comfortable ease.
2. No tape? Use a string: mark where it meets, then measure the string against a ruler.
3. Pick the longer layer length 2–3 in (5–8 cm) below the short layer so the tiers don’t overlap.
4. If your necklace has an extender, set the short layer first, then adjust the long layer to achieve your ideal spacing.

Typical positions for reference: Choker 14–15 in (35–38 cm), Princess 16–18 in (40–46 cm), Matinee 20–24 in (50–61 cm). Allow a small tolerance of ±5 mm due to finishing.

Materials & Features

• Stainless steel (commonly 304 or 316L grade): Known for high corrosion resistance, durability, and long-lasting shine.
• Skin-friendly: 316L is low‑maintenance with low nickel release; many with sensitive skin find it comfortable. If you have severe nickel sensitivities, patch-test first.
• Water and sweat resistant: Stainless steel does not tarnish or turn skin green. Rinse and dry after saltwater or chlorinated water.
• Color finishes: Gold-tone versions are often PVD (ion) plated, which is more durable than standard electroplating when cared for properly.
• Low maintenance: Retains luster with simple soap-and-water cleaning; no frequent polishing required.

Model & Fit Notes

Use these guides to visualize where the layers typically sit on most adults:

• Short layer at 16 in (40 cm): Sits near the base of the neck.
• Long layer at 18–20 in (45–50 cm): Falls at or just below the collarbone.
• Layer gap: Keep 2–3 in (5–8 cm) between tiers for a clean, tangle-minimizing stack.
• Neck circumference tips: On a 13 in (33 cm) neck, 16 in sits slightly lower; on a 15 in (38 cm) neck, consider 18 in for a similar look.
• High necklines: Choose 20–22 in (50–56 cm) for the longer layer to show over crew necks or light knits.

If your piece includes an extender, fine-tune each layer so pendants or charms don’t overlap.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• After wear: Wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and sweat.
• Clean: Wash with mild soap and warm water; rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh polishes—especially on plated finishes.
• Chemicals: Put jewelry on last. Keep away from perfume, sunscreen, hairspray, and household cleaners.
• Water: Stainless steel tolerates water; after salt or chlorine exposure, rinse and pat dry.
• Storage: Store separately in a pouch or compartment; clasp the necklace to prevent tangles.
• Anti-tangle tip: Use a layering clasp or connect both chains to a multi-clasp to keep tiers aligned.
• Travel: Coil each layer and secure with a small paper strip or wrap around a card before placing in a pouch.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimal: Pair a plain short chain with a delicate pendant on the longer layer.
• Necklines: V-necks and scoops highlight the tiers; for crew necks, opt for a longer second layer (20–22 in).
• Mix metals: Stainless steel complements silver, white gold, and titanium; choose gold-tone if you prefer warmer palettes.
• Third layer option: Add a 20–22 in strand for a statement stack while keeping 2–3 in gaps between lengths.
• Balance: If earrings are bold, keep layers simple; with studs, let the necklace be the focal point.
• Personalize: Add an initial, birthstone, or charm to the longer layer for a custom touch.
