Mixed Media

In addition to a couple of your favorite simple gold chains, include a necklace that incorporates more than one material for an artful, interesting look. Layer on top of a graphic tee for a fun finish.

Begin your layered look with a plain gold chain base. Then, add in two pendant style necklaces with the last being the longest — the final effect will lay flat but still look dynamic and chic.

Subtle Shell Details

Wear your of-the-moment shell necklace with a couple of simple short strands to translate the warm-weather statement to every day.

Brightly Beaded

Contrast a strand or two of vibrant beads with a simple pendant necklace underneath.

For a combination that will never let you down and can be put together in less than 30 seconds, grab a light chain necklace and team it with a gold pendant hung from a simple strand. Voila!

Relic-Inspired

Whether it's a strand of pearls accentuated by a gemstone or a quirky pendant threaded on a strand of ribbon, the combination of two necklaces that look like they came from an estate sale will serve you and your next outfit rather well.

More Is Better

Why stick to one gold chain (or three) when you can pile them all on top of each other? Play with different widths and lengths and tie them all together with a pendant.
