-How To Layer Necklaces-
1) Texture Is Important.
When you’re laying your necklaces it’s important to think about textures. Mix and alternate weights and density to create a nice balance. You could try alternating your statement chains, with the finer, more delicate ones. This creates a more subtle impact and if you get it right, a natural balance. Take a look at some layered chain necklaces that are trending right now.
2) A Statement Piece.
Rather than just layering a few plain chains why not introduce a statement piece to the mix? You could add a pendant or a necklace with a few charms on it. This will create a focal point, and add a little more fun. There are plenty of fun pendants around at the moment.

3) Don’t Forget To Vary Lengths.
When you’re layering your necklaces, you need to vary their lengths otherwise it could easily turn into a big tangled mess! Stagger the lengths to create a logical flow. They don’t need to be all the same distance apart, you can play around with weight and balance.

5) Consistent Theme
Create a theme or pattern. You could have heart-shaped pendants, diamonds or other gemstones throughout. It’s not necessary to wear matching items, but not just a random mix either. When you’re layering your jewelry think about what theme you are trying to go for. Keep it subtle, but justify your choices and combinations.
6) Avoid Overkill.
Don’t overdo it. If you’re unsure about adding the last necklace to the mix, then it’s probably a mistake. Leave a little to the imagination. Subtlety is always more elegant. If you’re worried about going over the top, have a look at some mixed necklaces online. This crystal ginkgo layered necklace combines elegance with a touch of whimsy. It makes a unique addition to any casual look.
