Layering Options - How to layer necklaces

There really are no set rules to layering necklaces. Do you! When it comes to making my necklaces, I keep in mind that I, or my customers may want to wear a few of them together. The things to consider are 1. necklace lengths *vary necklace lengths 2. spacing of the necklaces *pleasing to the eye 3. similar textures 4. complementary textures As to what you should wear, when you want to wear an assortment of necklace 1. keep the clothing simple a. casual outfit is t-shirt & jeans b. dress is a sheath or body hugging *nothing big or oversized 3. type of neckline you're wearing *v-necklines and round necklines are the best for layering necklaces.

I know construction boots aren't the "sexiest" shoes for a woman to wear. But I love my steel toe construction boots! I've had them for at least 10 years They carry a lot of memories for me My ex-boyfriend, who was very kind used to shine them for me because I didn't care if they were dirty or clean I love my boots!     Advantage to wearing construction boots vs high-heeled girly boots are the following comfort can walk for miles without my feet blistering my little toes (size 11 feet) are protected from falling heavy objects can run with no problem     For me, my shoes is not what makes me feel pretty. For me it's the jewelry. Mixing tomboyish style with girly jewelry is fantastic. With my outfit here, I'm wearing MY PEACE of jewelry necklace that I made from reclaimed chains, lucite beads and coins. Love it!     MY PEACE of jewelry on Etsy     Cable knit sweater - thrifted   ...

I am not sure which are better. When I sell, the necklace, I will include both pairs. Luc...
