How To Layer Necklaces That Are The Same Length?

If you love mixing textures, metals, and pendants, layered necklace sets are a great accessory to have. But what happens when you want to layer two necklaces that are the same length?

It gets tricky to combine jewelry that is prone to tangles. The good news? With a few simple adjustments, you can mix and match without worry and make the most of your favorite pieces.

Step 1. Unhook both necklaces

When figuring out how to layer necklaces without tangling, the first step is to unclasp both chains and lay them flat. Doing this makes it easier to work out the layout and avoids frustrating tangles.
