Fall is the perfect time to layer up—and that includes your jewelry. As the temps drop and the sweaters come out, mix chains, textures, and pops of color for a look that feels effortless and elevated. Here's how the pros do it:
✦ Start with a base chain
A solid gold paperclip or snake chain is the perfect foundation. Keep it at collarbone length for easy layering with pendants or lariats.
✦ Add contrast in shape or texture
Follow your base with something visually different—think a delicate rope, enamel accent, or gem station chain. Varying widths is key.
✦ Introduce color
Try one bold gem per stack: sapphire, garnet, or citrine all play beautifully with fall fashion. Bonus: they glow under candlelight.
✦ Mix your metals (yes, it works!)
Pair yellow and white gold for a curated, intentional look. Throw in a rose gold charm if you're feeling adventurous.
