5 Ways to Wear Layered Necklaces

• Pick Your Magic Number

Don’t forget to consider the lengths of your stunners. You don’t want the clutter. Two or more, every piece deserves its own spotlight. So, start with a choker, slightly increasing the length of every piece, and complete that stack with a long necklace design.

This is it; layered gemstone necklaces will definitely get you on top of the stack-it-like-you-mean-it trend. Choose a coloured gemstone of your choice and go wild. Or you could just play with different coloured gemstone necklaces to give your stack a contrasting upgrade.
