5 Ways to Style a Stainless Steel Necklace

Stainless steel necklaces are the quiet workhorses of a jewelry box. Here are five ways to get more from them.

1. Layer different lengths

Pair a short chain with a longer pendant for depth. Because steel does not tarnish, you can layer freely without worrying about maintenance.

2. Mix gold and silver tones

Mixing a gold-plated piece with a silver-tone one is modern and intentional — not a mistake.

3. Go minimal for work

A single fine chain reads polished and professional.

4. Stack pendants with meaning

Initials, stars, hearts — steel keeps small pendants crisp for years.

5. Wear it everywhere

Shower, gym, pool: a good piece such as those in the stainless steel necklaces at Gemzara handles it all without dulling.
