How to Layer Them (The Easy Way)

Start simple. You really don’t need a pile of necklaces — that’s usually where it starts to feel like too much.

A good, easy stack usually comes down to a couple of pieces:

• Start with something close to the neck
A shorter strand of softer gemstone tones. I’d go for more muted mixes — they just feel easier to wear day to day.

• Add a bit of structure
Usually a gold chain or something slightly firmer. Otherwise everything can start to feel a bit floaty.

• Finish with something a little longer
A pendant, a pearl, or just a longer chain that sits lower.

That’s usually enough. Two or three layers tends to look the most natural.

If you go beyond that, keep everything finer. Once pieces get chunky, it can feel heavy pretty quickly.
