Titanium Steel Double-Layered Necklace | 101300948193698

How to Measure Your Necklace

Use a soft measuring tape or a piece of string and a ruler. Record all measurements in inches or centimeters.

• 1) Measure your neck: Wrap the tape where a choker would sit. Add 2–3 cm (about 1 in) for comfort to find your ideal inner layer length.
• 2) Set the inner layer length: Common inner lengths for a double-layered look:
  • 14–16 in (35–40 cm): choker/collarbone
  • 16–18 in (40–45 cm): collarbone
• 3) Set the outer layer length: For clean separation, choose the outer layer 2–4 in (5–10 cm) longer than the inner. Example: 16 in inner + 18–20 in outer.
• 4) Extender length: If the necklace includes an extender, measure from the first to the last ring. A 2 in (5 cm) extender offers the most versatility across necklines.
• 5) Pendant size (if applicable): Measure the height (including bail), width, and thickness. Note that a longer pendant may require an extra 1–2 in (2.5–5 cm) on the outer layer for ideal spacing.
• 6) Chain thickness: Measure the chain width in millimeters. Most layered necklaces use 1.2–3 mm for a refined look.
• 7) End-to-end length: When measuring an existing necklace, lay it flat and measure from clasp end to jump ring end (include the clasp).

Fit tip: For fuller necks or high necklines, increase each layer by 2–4 in (5–10 cm). Aim for at least 2 in (5 cm) difference between layers to reduce tangling and keep a clear visual break.

Materials & What They Mean

Base: Titanium steel (commonly used in jewelry to refer to 316L stainless steel or stainless steel with titanium ion plating).

• Durability: Highly resistant to scratches, corrosion, and everyday wear; ideal for daily use.
• Tarnish resistance: Does not oxidize like silver and resists rust; retains shine with minimal upkeep.
• Skin-friendly: 316L is considered hypoallergenic for most wearers due to low nickel release. If you have a severe nickel sensitivity, patch-test or consult brand-specific allergy details.
• Finish/Color: Often polished steel (silver tone) or PVD/IP plated for gold/black hues. PVD plating is durable but can wear over time with heavy abrasion or chemical exposure.
• Weight: Slightly heavier than aluminum or brass, giving a quality feel without being cumbersome.
• Sustainability: Stainless steel is fully recyclable and long-lasting, reducing frequent replacement.

Note: Exact composition and plating color can vary by batch or style. If you require precise specs (e.g., 316L designation, nickel release compliance), refer to the product’s technical sheet or certification details.

Model & Fit Reference

To help you visualize the layers, here’s a general fit guide commonly used for double-layered necklaces.

• On a small/medium neck (33–36 cm): Inner 16 in (40 cm) rests at the collarbone; outer 18 in (45 cm) sits just below.
• On a medium/full neck (37–41 cm): Inner 18 in (45 cm); outer 20 in (50 cm) for clear separation.
• With pendants or chunkier chains: Add 1–2 in (2.5–5 cm) to the outer layer for balance.

Tip: If replicating a photographed look, measure around your neck, then match the inner layer to where the first chain sits in the photo. Set the outer layer 2–4 in (5–10 cm) longer.

Care Guide — Keep It Lovely Longer

• After each wear: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove sweat, sunscreen, or lotions.
• Avoid harsh exposure: Remove before swimming, exercising, showering, or using perfumes/hairsprays directly on the jewelry. Chlorine, saltwater, and chemicals can reduce plating life.
• Clean gently: Wash occasionally with mild soap and lukewarm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners, silver dips, and ultrasonic machines on plated finishes.
• Store smart: Fasten the clasp and store flat or hang to prevent tangles. Keep pieces separate in a pouch or compartment to avoid scratches.
• Tangle prevention for layers: Use a layered necklace clasp/connector or clasp the two chains together behind the neck to reduce twisting.
• Polish: Use a microfiber cloth. Avoid aggressive polishing compounds that can dull plating.
• Repairs/adjustments: Stainless steel is tough; sizing often requires adding/removing jump rings rather than cutting the chain. Consult a jeweler familiar with steel if needed.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimal: Wear the inner chain at 16–17 in for the collarbone and the outer at 18–19 in. Pair with small hoops or studs.
• Neckline pairing:
  • V-neck: match the outer layer length to mirror the V shape.
  • Crew or scoop: keep the inner layer just above the neckline for a clean frame.
  • Turtleneck: extend both layers by 2–4 in for visibility over knitwear.
• Mix or match metals: Titanium steel’s neutral tone plays well with silver. If your piece is PVD gold, add warm accents (beige, camel, chocolate). For silver tone, pair with cool hues (navy, charcoal, white).
• Balance with pendants: Keep the inner chain minimal and showcase a pendant on the outer layer for focal depth.
• Layer control: Maintain a 2–4 in gap between chains to keep a defined, tangle-resistant stack.
• Desk-to-dinner: Start with inner layer only for day; add the outer chain and a bold lip for evening.
