In recent years, the layered necklace has become the ‘It’ accessory. From short chains paired with chunky curb chokers, coin pendant necklaces coupled with paperclip links and slinky snake strands mixed with collared charms, the multi-strand necklace is a must have in any contemporary jewelry case.
Celebrities and musicians can’t get enough of creating their own personalized necklace sets. Pop stars like Olivia Rodrigo love layering pieces; the songstress often wears astrological stargirl chokers, alphabet chains and glassy heart pendants overlapped together. Dune star Zendaya has been spotted in Valentino Rockstud layered chains and Bulgari chokers while English actress Florence Pugh can’t resist tennis necklaces clumped together in a medley of metal or a tiered assembly of choker strands.
Not to mention Taylor Swift, who is often found in opal pear pendant accented chains intermixed with yellow gold belcher chokers. Also spotted in the trend: American model Hailey Bieber who has mastered the art of the luxe layered look.
So, it’s no great surprise fashion forward Princess Kate has joined the chorus of those looking for gilded pieces with dimensional flair. Embracing the infinity necklace, Kate utilizes these mixed metals to add interest to her workwear and elevates her regal ensembles into something more memorable.
Here are 5 Times Kate Middleton Wore a Layered Necklace:
1. All the Falling Stars Layered Disc Necklace + Spells of Love Double Strand Necklace
At London’s Battersea Park, the princess looked to be outfitted in her business casual best wearing a Ralph Lauren ribbed cotton top paired with M&S pink trousers and a pair of canvas sneakers.

At the family focused event, Kate opted to play mixmaster and paired her Spells of Love Double Strand Beaded Chain Necklace with an All the Falling Stars Gold Three Layered Disc Necklace.
2. Spells of Love Double Strand Necklace + Asprey London Woodland Charms Necklace
For a visit to the V&A museum in 2021, Kate wore a red and black Alessandra Rich houndstooth drop waist dress.

3. Spells of Love Double Strand Necklace + Astley Clarke Round Lapis Necklace
Stacking necklaces is almost like creating a jewelry recipe. Kate loves to play with ingredients when it comes to making her accessory statements.

To add a little modern edge and contemporary glamour, she wore her Astley Clarke Stilla Lapis Lazuli pendant necklace overlapped with her Spells of Love demi-fine gold double chain.
