Trend Spotlight: Chain Necklaces

Join the chain gang.
By Essence · Updated October 29, 2020
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

Rockers and hip-hoppers made layered, chunky jewelry cool. But before you O.D. on accessories, we suggest remixing an old chain belt into a necklace or investing in a couple of new links. Remember, you should be messy chic, so don’t try too hard or your look may be considered the weakest link.

Here are a few of our favorites.

Marciano Cynthia Multi-Layer Cross Necklace, $198.

Forever 21 Multi-Chain Necklace, $6.80.

Betsey Johnson ‘Girlie Charms’ Layered Necklace, $135
