Delicate Layers

I am notorious among my friends & family as a jewelry junkie. It’s always been a passion of mine & managed to turn my love of jewelry into a working reality. I landed a job as an accessory buyer in NYC. Talk about a fun experience! Looking for the latest trends in showrooms & at trade shows was a dream come true. But all good things come to an end and my umm…let’s just say interesting… boss coupled with the need for a larger pay check forced me to move on to another aspect of the jewelry industry – manufacturing. During this position, I got to visit casting houses in the diamond district, watched liquid gold being poured at our in-house factory & learn how jewelry gets made, sorted & shipped. My daily tasks were much more boring, but those were some of the cool things I got to witness while working there. So even though my style & tastes have changed a lot over the years, my love of jewelry has never wavered.

 Lately, I have been gravitating towards delicate jewelry pieces. Small charms & thin chains draw me in and I can’t seem to get enough of them. If I love a piece enough, I will buy them in multiple metals to double my layering options. My husband thinks I have a problem 🙂

Even though simple jewelry is my jam, I really enjoying layering several pieces for a unique look. I don’t mind mixing metals, but usually I stick to either the majority gold or silver when stacking necklaces. In this post, I am wearing Lulu’s small black rhinestone choker, the Stella & Dot Aurora necklace (it’s reversible!) and the Stella & Dot Luna pendant necklace. I really like to keep the largest pendant/charm on the bottom layer and the necklaces decrease in size as you move up the neck. Space between the charms help the individual piece stand out as well.

Happy Layering!
