2. The Layering Chain

A solid gold or sterling silver chain is the unsung hero of the jewelry box. It fills the negative space of a plunging neckline, adds texture to a chunky knit sweater, and frames your collarbones beautifully.

The beauty of the chain lies in its versatility. You can wear a delicate paperclip chain completely solo for a minimalist vibe, or use it as the anchor for a curated stack of necklaces, mixing lengths and adding meaningful pendants.
