Layering Necklaces 101

Image
 Do you see women with beautiful ensembles of layered necklaces, but when you try it for yourself, feel like it looks all wrong? Well, I’m here to show you how to layer your necklaces like a pro! It seems the layered necklace look has never been so popular. I’m a big fan of the sophisticated layered look over the trendy look and over-styled costume jewelry. But there aren’t really any “rules” for layering, as style is personal for each wearer. The following are my own set of rules for styling my neckline. Other than for jewelry photo shots or events, you’ll rarely see me wearing a ton of necklaces.
