1. Experiment With Lengths

Take your look to new lengths by pairing a longer, lariat-style necklace with a dainty choker in the same colored metal.

2. Layer Meaningful Letters

3. Mix Diamonds & Gemstones

You've heard of mixing metals, but what about mixing stones? Make sure not to pair two loud pieces that compete with each other. A shorter, diamond-bar necklace makes the perfect match to a piece adorned with colorful gemstones.
