Layered Necklaces

Layered necklaces are a popular trend that can be a bit pricey when purchased new. Instead, create your own layered necklace using thrift store jewelry! Look for necklaces in varying lengths that complement each other and experiment with mixing and matching. If they don’t quite work together, you can always adjust them with pliers and jump rings. 📿
