From the beadwork of ancient Egypt to the diamonds of French dynasties, necklaces have captured the imagination for centuries. Layering necklaces is nothing new, but you don’t have to follow in the footsteps of pharaohs to get the layered look. Choose a choker for something high up the neckline, then take the plunge with matinee, opera and rope necklaces. Your stacked necklaces won’t look tangled if you pick different lengths and most of all, go with the ones you love. Think classic, understated and ultimately, owned by you.
