Anyone who follows the fashion world at all knows that layered accessories are very popular this year. Whether you layer on a bunch of necklaces or bracelets, you can’t go wrong. It’s a fun trend too, allowing you to pull out 5 or 6 necklaces from your collection, wear them together and be on the edge of fashion! It’s a simple trend too, there really isn’t much you can do to mess up this fashion must-do. Just don’t go overboard- there is such thing as too many – you don’t want to have a hard time holding your head up because your necklaces are too heavy! Fashion and its accessories have a sort of split personality this year. On one end, they are super feminine and soft while the urban, edgy style of the 80′s is making a new impression. Mixing unexpected elements together like metal chains and soft pearls can give you a fantastic look for any time of day. Check out some of these examples I found on the web:

Sarah Jessica Parker

One of my favorite fashion inspirations – Sarah Jessica Parker – went bold on this necklace ensemble. She paired some simple chains in golds and silvers, all different sizes and lengths with a couple chunkier pieces up by her neck. Paired with her simple shimmery outfit, her layered necklaces are the perfect accessory! So, if she can be any example for those of you out there wanting to try out this look – go bold!

Hillary Duff

In this photo, Hillary Duff shows the perfect union of edgy and feminine. She has on an urban, shimmery black mini dress but layered on a bunch of beautiful strands of white pearls in all different sizes and lengths. This adds a classy and feminine touch to a rock star outfit. The lesson here is – don’t be afraid to mix styles, you might be pleased with the result!

Layered Pearls

This is a great example of a necklace you might be able to find in stores or online. This has some beautiful black pearls paired with black beads and a crystal flower detail. This necklace would look great paired with some long metal chains worn with a collared shirt to the office or a simple dress for a night on the town.

Katherine Heigl

The world of pearl jewlry is so diverse and exciting and I am always excited to discover how this classic gem works its way in to modern society. One of the most beautiful pearls out there is definitely the Tahitian pearl. They are dark, gorgeous, attention-grabbing stones. They make great statement jewelry to wear to almost any occasion and even celebrities have discovered their unique beauty. The gorgeous black Tahitian pearls have made appearances on red carpets throughout Hollywood adorning the necks of A-listers like Katherine Heigl and Angelina Jolie.

The necklace that Katherine Heigl is wearing in the picture has a beautiful peacock coloring to it and is the ideal accessory to her neutral gray dress. With her hair up and away from her face the large pearls frame her face perfectly and really stand out against her blonde hair. A Tahitian pearl necklace is a great piece to wear when you want to be unexpected. The dark pearls have a beautiful shine and luster to them that can sparkle under the lights just like any other gemstone.

The great thing about Tahitian pearls is their striking and mysterious beauty will always strike up conversation. Check out the necklace that Angelina Jolie is wearing -

Angelina Jolie

The Tahitian pearls she is wearing are much more uniform in color giving her a very sophisticated style. Like Katherine Heigl, Angelina’s hair is pulled away from her face so the pearls can stand out. Jolie has naturally dark features so the dark black Tahitian pearls are striking against her olive toned skin. To pull the look together she paired a simple pair of single stud Tahitian pearl earrings. Her look says sass and sophistication all at the same time.
