Jewelry to wear with turtlenecks

layered gold jewelry with a turtleneck

Turtleneck sweaters are cozy, practical and warm. They have evolved from the era of hiding
a love bite or hickey! Now a sleek turtleneck is a staple in any career woman's wardrobe.

The best jewelry for turtlenecks are long necklaces that aren't focused on your neck. With plenty 
of room to hang long these necklaces definitly add some flair. Imagine her outfit with no jewelry
on? It's all about the details!

Jewelry Trunk show Display at the Village Garden

Displayed jewelry and the designer

As a jewelry designer you never know what kind of store space will be available when doing a show.

When I was invited to set up in this artistic, eclectic outdoor garden space I was over the moon! 
Space for me was tight so I had to pack it all into one table. So..new jewelry display boards
were in order. 

By the way, if you should ever find yourself in Redondo Beach, California I highly recommend you stop by
the Village Garden. It is an enchanting experience  to walk through. Located smack dab in the
middle of the Rivierva Village. Plus it is available to rent out for parties!

Denim vest outfit and a stack of cuff bracelets

sterling cuffs on arm

     If you don't own a denim vest you might need to get one! They are so versatile for any season.

    First off, they can be worn all by themselves as a cute Summer top. Or put one on with an old faded
    tee-shirt and watch the transformation.

    This 3 layered combo is from my very own closet. The first piece is a white tank top. The 2nd is
    the long sleeve striped blouse. Slip on your blue jeans and a stack of whimsically patterened
    sterling cuffs and you'll be comfy with style!

Yes you can layer coin jewelry!

layered coin jewelry being worn

Layering jewelry is all about balance. When in balance each piece will compliment the other.

The top necklace is more petite. The coin is smaller and the brass bars are more on the
delicate side. The second necklace has a much bigger coin. Heavier chain and it hangs down longer.
They compliment rather than compete with each other.

Go ahead, give it a try!
