The Verdict

Gorjana's Venice Layering Set earns a B- ProductScore of 72/100 — a pre-styled three-necklace set that takes the guesswork out of necklace stacking. The curated lengths and complementary styles create an effortlessly polished look, but at $130 for three brass-based necklaces, the per-piece value is a real concern.

What Customers Say

Based on 2,100 mentions across social media and review platforms

The Venice Layering Set dominates Gorjana's 'styled look' content on Instagram and TikTok. Influencers and everyday buyers alike praise the effortless three-chain look without having to individually curate pieces. The biggest criticism is value: at ~$43 per necklace for brass jewelry, budget-conscious buyers find better per-piece pricing elsewhere. Fans argue the curated coordination saves time and delivers a cohesive aesthetic.

"Bought this for a beach vacation and wore it every single day. The three lengths work perfectly together and I got so many compliments. It made getting dressed so easy."

Reddit r/femalefashionadvice

"I used to struggle with layering necklaces — different chains would tangle or look weird together. This set solved that problem completely. Everything is designed to work as a unit."

Google Reviews

"The individual pieces feel a bit thin for the combined price. At $130 you're paying about $43 per necklace, and each one is fairly simple. I think you could build a more interesting set buying individual pieces."

Reddit r/jewelry

"Great gift idea. I bought it for my niece's graduation and she loved it. No guesswork needed — just put all three on and you're styled."

Google Reviews

"Wore these daily for about 6 months. Two of the three held up well but the shortest one started showing plating wear. Customer service offered to replace just that piece, which was nice."

Pros & Cons

Strengths

  • + Pre-curated lengths eliminate the guesswork from necklace layering
  • + Three complementary chain styles create a cohesive, intentional look

  • + Individual necklaces work on their own for simpler days

Trade-offs

  • At ~$43 per piece, individual necklace value is low for brass-based jewelry
  • All three share similar aesthetics — may lack variety for some
  • Plating consistency across three pieces means one may wear faster than others
  • The set format locks you into Gorjana's length choices without customization

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy individual necklaces from the Gorjana Venice Layering Set separately?
The Venice Layering Set is sold as a complete set and the individual necklaces are not available separately. However, Gorjana sells many of the component styles (cable chains, disc pendants, bar pendants) as individual pieces in their wider collection, though the exact styling and lengths may differ.
How do I prevent the Venice Layering Set necklaces from tangling?
The set is designed with staggered lengths (15, 17, 19 inches) specifically to minimize tangling. For best results, put them on in order from shortest to longest, and ensure the clasps are positioned at the back of your neck. When storing, hang them separately or lay them flat. Avoid bunching them together in a pouch.
Is the Gorjana Venice Layering Set a good gift?
Yes, it's one of Gorjana's most popular gift items. The set arrives in a gift-ready box with velvet lining, requiring no additional wrapping. The pre-curated nature means the recipient doesn't need to know anything about necklace layering. It works particularly well for graduations, birthdays, and holidays.
How does the value of the Venice Layering Set compare to buying individual Gorjana necklaces?
At $130 for three necklaces (~$43 each), the set offers a modest discount compared to buying three individual Gorjana necklaces separately, which would typically total $150-180. The savings are real but not dramatic. The primary value is the curation — the lengths and styles are designed to layer perfectly together, which takes trial and error (and returns) out of the equation.

Full Review

Gorjana’s Venice Layering Set is the jewelry equivalent of a capsule wardrobe — a pre-styled collection designed to work as a system. For anyone who’s ever spent 15 minutes trying to layer three random necklaces that kept tangling or looking unbalanced, the appeal is immediately obvious.

Design & Craftsmanship

The three-necklace set is thoughtfully composed. The 15-inch cable chain sits as a simple choker, the 17-inch chain adds a small disc charm at mid-length, and the 19-inch chain drops a textured bar pendant at the lowest point. The staggered lengths create clean visual tiers, and the escalating pendant sizes add dimension without clutter.

Each individual necklace is relatively simple — none would be a conversation piece worn alone. But together, they create a layered look that reads as effortless and intentionally styled. This is the set’s design thesis: the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Value Proposition

This is where the Venice Set faces its toughest critique. At $130 for three brass-based necklaces, the per-piece math works out to roughly $43 — which is fair by Gorjana standards but expensive in the broader market. Each necklace individually would likely sell for $40-60 at Gorjana, so there is a modest set discount, but it’s not a dramatic savings.

The real value proposition isn’t the material cost — it’s the curation. Building a layering set from scratch requires buying individual pieces, testing lengths, returning mismatches, and repeating. The Venice Set eliminates that process entirely.

The Wear Test

The three necklaces layer cleanly with minimal tangling when put on in order (shortest first). Daily wearers report good plating consistency across all three pieces for 6-12 months, though the choker-length piece tends to show wear slightly earlier due to more skin contact. The lobster claw clasps are standard and functional.

Who Should Buy This

Layering beginners, gift shoppers who want a complete look in one box, and travel jewelry buyers who want a versatile set without packing decisions. If you already own multiple chain necklaces and enjoy the curation process, you’ll likely prefer building your own set.
