Don’t worry about what tradition says about pairing only gold with gold and silver with silver. Instead, feel free to pair gold with silver or rose gold to create a unique, edgy or classy look.

You can pair strands that are 1 to 2 inches apart in length. So you can start with a strand that is 16 inches, and then the next would be 18 inches. Then to complete the look, add the longer strand that could be 20 inches or even 22 inches. This works well with a few different dainty necklaces.

You can mix and match similar-colored gemstone rings and create a simple ombre look. If you’re worried that your layers aren’t working, you can just start with a metal and two colors like teal, coral and gold. You could also layer one plain chain and then a colorful stone necklace to make it stand out and then another longer plain chain to add length.
