They key to layering necklaces is simplicity. I will admit I do have those big-jeweled necklaces from Baublebar and J.crew that I have purchased through the years, but those necklaces aren’t the ones you need to layer over each other. This Jennifer Zeuner necklace I paired with a long gold dipped chain with a Fendi heart charm. Something that I didn’t know until I purchased this chain, is that since gold is going up in pricing and in value, you still want a gold chain but without the gold price tag. The best way to do this is to find a gold dipped chain. These chains are usually a sterling silver chain base with the gold dip and they are ½ the price, but they still look like it’s a gold chain. Some necklaces have different chain length options already on the chain, which is one of the reason I love this Jennifer Zeuner necklace. I can make it long or I can make it super short depending on the neckline that I was wearing that day. I never layer more than 3 necklaces at a time. Even if the chains are different lengths, they still all meet on the back of your neck and the last thing you want to deal with at the end of the day is untangling a bunch of chains together. The trick to avoiding that is to take the longest necklace first and unhook it from the front. If you decide to wear all chains the same length pick the necklace with the least amount of charms and pull it to the front to unhook it. This is something that I have done many times and have avoided the dreaded tangled neck chains. Necklace layering isn’t for everyone. Some people I know just aren’t a fan of the look, but I think if there are two pieces you really want to wear at the same time that it is doable you just have to make it look effortless.
