Best multi chain necklaces for everyday wear

Top pick: the Sterling Forever Brenna triple layered chain — three fine chains already spaced for you, so it looks styled without any fuss, and it's the one I'd wear daily.

Who the others suit:

• LYNX stainless steel multistrand — the everyday workhorse: steel won't tarnish from sweat or showers, so it survives real life.
• Juvell two-tone gold-plated multi-strand — if you like mixing metals; the two-tone finish goes with gold and silver jewelry alike.
• Bellaforma multi chain with tiger-eye beads — a warmer, more dressed-up version for days you want a bit of color.
• BloomChic multi layered chain — a light, low-commitment way to try the layered look.

Skip plated base-metal if you'll never take it off; stainless steel holds up best.
