Summer Collections: A Guide to Layering
Master the intricate aesthetic of combining chains, pendants, and chokers.
Layering jewelry is an art form. The right combination can elevate a simple white t-shirt, while the wrong mix can feel cluttered and heavy.
Rule 1: Varying Lengths
The cardinal rule of layering is to wear chains of different lengths. Start with a 14-inch choker or a delicate collar. Add an 18-inch chain with a subtle pendant, and finish with a 22-inch statement piece.
Rule 2: Mixing Textures
Combine a flat herringbone chain with a textured rope chain. The contrast catches the light differently, creating depth rather than just bulk.
