One of the many reasons we love layering necklaces is the chance for personal expression. One of the 2019 big trends in jewelry is layering. Let’s face it, it’s not exactly a new trend, it is a comeback, but today the layered jewelry trend has become more of an art, it is architectural, not just a bunch of necklaces put together. A lot of thought goes into color schemes, design features, elements, length of necklaces and more while layering. Layered necklaces make a powerful fashion statement.
Today- instead of the focus on one large piece what is really trending is layering different strands of jewelry in varied textures. There’s so much to love about it – it’s a creative way to add more detail, and layering makes any outfit look unique and glamorous. For a bride to be, your wedding is the perfect event to go all out with your love for jewelry and look like royalty with layered necklaces. You can either opt to make a subtle statement with a delicate layered necklace or a bold look with a stack of chunky necklaces. Layering necklaces has become an art that's our favorite!
Let's get inspired by some of the best necklace pairings spotted on Bollywood divas and build your own layered look that speaks for itself this season. Here we discuss 5 different styles of layering necklaces for a brand-new look.

5. Layering with Chunky Necklaces and Different Colors-
This layering style can get tricky, but if done right, this is vital to making any outfit look highly fashion-forward. Let's take a peek at Tina Khanna and Dimple Kapadia- both have opted for heavy, chunky necklace layering, but still manage to look stunning. Notice they both have chosen plain bright color outfits without any embroidery or distraction at the neckline or other places in their outfit because that can interfere with the play of layering. This layering style will work well on solid color outfits and clean neck lines such that only the chunky jewelry layering stands out without looking overwhelming or too much.
