INTRODUCTION:

THE SIMPLE START:

Simple Chain with a Pendant Necklace:

The easiest look to create, use a simple cable chain and a vertical pendant necklace. I've layered a simple gold-filled paper clip chain with the gold nexus vertical circles necklace.

Double Horizontal Centerpiece Necklaces:

This look includes two necklaces with the same type of centerpieces that compliment each other. Experiment with which should be the top necklace. If the length isn't right for the look you want, get a necklace extender. I've combined two sterling silver necklaces here, the mystic circles necklace and the linked necklace.

LEVEL UP:

Double Pendant Chain:
This is the most common way to layer necklaces. It's a really nice look and you can include different types of pendants to showcase your very own style. Make sure that the smaller pendant is the top layer and that the shapes compliment each other. Again, if your necklace isn't the correct length, use an extender. This combo includes the joy tiny circle necklace and the wayfarer vertical pendant necklace.
