The necklace under the necklace.
The name
Lume is the shortened form of lumière — French for light. One syllable. Quick. Soft. The chain is fine, layerable, almost invisible — it catches light rather than commanding it. Lume names that quality: the trace of light, not the source.

The story
Layering two necklaces well is harder than it looks. The chains tangle. The clasps fight each other. The lengths don't sit cleanly. Most women give up and wear one.
The Lume Chain is built for layering. It is a 16-inch solid 14K yellow gold cable chain with a fine 0.8mm gauge — thin enough to disappear under a heavier piece, present enough to wear alone. The clasp is titanium, which solves the most common reason women take necklaces off: a metal clasp that irritates the back of the neck after a few hours.
Wear it alone with a low neckline. Wear it under the Permission Pendant for a clean two-tier look — the Lume Chain at 16 inches, the Permission Pendant at 18 inches, a 2-inch breathing space between them. Wear it with a longer chain for a three-tier stack.
Most layered-necklace looks fail because the chains aren't designed to layer. This one is.
