Applying this technique can be a little bit chaotic since all the combinations must be balanced and coherent in order to have an attractive result. That’s why, it is important to follow some tips that will help you to choose the best necklaces without losing style.

1. The rule of number “three”
If you are interested in the art of mixing necklaces, we advise you to wear three necklaces so that the choice is easier. You can choose a main necklace that stands out either because of its size or its color. And the other two necklaces should be simpler to maintain the balance and not to overcharge. We recommend you the chains “Slim”, “Reflections” and “Diamonds” to create a flawless look, or our "Petra” necklace.
