If your Instagram Discover page is flooded with dainty gold chains, meaningful pendants, and perfectly styled necklace stacks, you’re not alone—and Oak & Luna is probably behind many of those looks. We previously explored what sets this brand apart in our in-depth Oak & Luna review. Recently, we took a closer look at how their pieces stack (literally) when layered. Spoiler alert: They nailed the “effortless yet intentional” vibe.

✨ Why Oak & Luna Nails the Layering Game

Oak & Luna makes matching pieces child’s play, as their pieces seem to be made to mix and match. From simple initials to chunky paperclip necklaces, everything harmonizes. Each necklace stands on its own without overpowering the others—this is crucial for a chic, yet not overly sophisticated look.

We experimented with some outstanding pieces:

The Initial Necklace (Gold Vermeil)
A short, close-to-the-neck layer that adds subtle personalization.
Ivy Paperclip Name Chain
The stack’s star: bold, sculpted, and undeniably eye-catching.
Tyra Star Pendant
Adds symbolism and charm while breaking up the chain-heavy feel.
Pixie Bold Chain
Anchors the entire look with visual weight and structure.

Together, these pieces created a look that felt curated—not chaotic. Whether worn over a crisp white blouse or a simple T-shirt, the stack lent personality and elegance.

🧷 Our Favorite Layering Tips

Even with great jewelry, layering is part art, part strategy. Here’s what worked best for Oak & Luna’s styling:

📏Vary the lengths
Use a 14–16" piece as a base, then layer 18" and 20" styles underneath for balance.
🔗Mix textures
Alternate between flat, delicate chains and chunkier links to keep things dynamic.
Add a focal piece
A nameplate or meaningful charm makes the whole stack feel personal.
🧵Use extenders
They’re great for adjusting spacing and preventing overlap or tangling.

🔄 How They Hold Up IRL

After wearing these pieces for several days, I noticed the following:

  • No tarnishing or fading (even with daily wear)
  • Clasps and extenders are durable and easy to adjust.
  • Light enough for all-day, uncomfortable layering.
  • Minimal tangling – even with up to four layers.

These aren’t necklaces you take off after a night of partying, but ones you forget you’re wearing—and that’s a good thing.

✅ Pros

  • Beautifully designed for layering
  • Meaningful customization options (initials, names, stars)
  • High-quality finish and comfortable for daily wear
  • Perfect for everyday glam or elevated basics

❌ Cons

  • Custom pieces take longer to ship
  • No returns on engraved items
  • Fine chains require gentle handling and flat storage
  • Slightly premium pricing — but fair for the quality

💬 Final Take

If you’re looking to expand your necklace collection, you should definitely consider Oak & Luna. The pieces are beautifully stackable, durable, and offer the perfect balance between personalization and elegance. Jewelry tells a story – layer by layer.
