Layering jewelry has become more than just a fashion statement—it’s a personal art form. For 2025, gold jewelry continues to dominate everyday and occasion wear, with new styling twists that make each stack unique. Whether you’re into minimalist chic or bold, eye-catching looks, Hermin has you covered. Here’s your complete guide to the top gold layering trends this year.

1. Mixed Chain Textures

Gone are the days of sticking to a single chain style. This year, it’s all about mixing textures—think pairing a sleek snake chain with a bold Cuban link or a delicate rope chain. The contrast adds depth and makes your layering stand out.

➡️ Shop our favorites in the Gold Necklaces Collection.

2. Layering with Pendants

2025 is seeing a rise in pendant layering, where one or two statement pendants are paired with simpler chains. Personal symbols, initials, and gemstone pendants add storytelling to your look.

➡️ Match your pendant with everyday chains from our Gold Vermeil Collection.

3. Choker to Opera Length Stacks

The most stylish stacks use 3 or more lengths—from a 14-inch choker to a 30-inch opera chain. This creates vertical balance and keeps the eye moving.

Pro tip: Follow our Everyday Necklace Length Guide to find your perfect layering base.

4. Mixed Metals, Subtle Gold Base

While gold is the star, mixing in hints of sterling silver or white gold creates a high-fashion “quiet luxury” effect. Keep gold as your dominant tone to maintain harmony.

➡️ Try pairing from our Sterling Silver Collection for balance.

5. Minimalist Personal Touches

Instead of heavy clusters, 2025 trends lean into simplicity. Choose a single meaningful pendant or a subtle accent chain to add personality without overwhelming your stack.

Styling Tips for 2025

• Stick to odd numbers of chains for the most natural balance.

• Mix one bold statement piece with two to three minimal ones.

• Keep proportions in mind—delicate chains should frame heavier ones.
