Wearing Two Necklaces At Once: A Different Take On Layering

Chances are, you are well acquainted with the idea of layering dainty necklaces: similar and parallel, different and complementary or even a single necklace but with layered charms. And while this trend can make for some dependable and versatile jewellery looks, we feel there is much more to explore in terms of expressivity, boldness and fun!

Wearing Two Necklaces At Once: The Ones You Already Own

The best thing about this styling trick is that it’s doable with pieces you already have, know and love.

Make this approach your own and have fun mix-and-matching!
