Your Guide to Layering Necklaces: Tips and Tricks to Nail the Look

When it comes to necklaces, sometimes more is more. Mixing & matching can be intimidating, maybe you think you can’t pull off the look or you’re just not sure where to begin. Needs some inspiration to get you started? Let’s discuss the art of necklace layering.

Mixing, matching & wearing multiple necklaces at once isn’t a new trend, but it’s definitely one that we’re loving right now. Allowing necklaces to be the focal point is a great way to build on a minimalist look or add to a pared-down outfit. Layering on different styles and pieces allows you to express your unique style and personality.

Mixed Metals & Multi-Tone Necklaces
