Necklace Layering Tips
The look for necklaces right now is layered, but this can be tricky to do and I don't think everyone is able to pull it off all the time. Plus, let's face it - it is not always practical either. For example, if you have a fairly conservative work environment, then you don't want to go to work looking like a hippy chic.

Then there's the idea of comfort. If you have a busy lifestyle where you may be picking up children constantly or running around most of the day, lost of necklaces hanging around your neck may just not be that comfortable.

Here is a little helpful advice I found on line from an article entitled "Bling Time:"

The trick is to look as if you threw your jewels on as an afterthought. But just between you and me, it takes careful consideration to pull it off well.
First you need to think about the length of your chains.

No matter how many you layer on they should all fall at different points.
Opt for a heavy, longer chain (like the link chain pictured) and team it with a chokerlinks of your favourite gemstones. Then add another mid- length necklace with one stand-out stone or feature.


If you have a job or lifestyle that doesn't work with loads of necklaces hang off of you, then consider still getting the layered look only toned down a little. For example, here's a set I wear a lot when I work at my library job.

Some times I toss on another longer chain as well depending on the neckline of my shirt, but even just these two pieces - one fairly good sized textured gold chain and a thinner, longer chain with a gemstone pendant - is enough to add a little updated style to even the most conservative outfit.
