Is it possible to have different sections of a sprite be on different sprite renderer layers?

Straight to the point, I added an item into a game I began developing earlier today, so there is very little work done on it. The player sprite I have was rigged all from one single png file, and now, with the first item I added in, I can't figure out how to have the handle be behind the hand and the end of it in front of the face. So far, I've gotten the item behind the hand with a smaller sprite renderer order in layer than the player, but I can't get it in front of the face. If possible, I would like to separate the different limbs in the sprite to be on different sprite renderer layers. Thanks!
