How to layer jewellery by Amy Elson of Chambers & Beau

Amy Elson is the creative genius behind cult jewellery brand Chambers & Beau. Her stunning range of pieces span earrings, bracelets, rings and of course, necklaces, of which, she is the queen of layering. Here are her tips on how layer them.

Mix textures, metals, chain weights for a real boho look. If you want all pieces to be seen then allow a couple of inches between layers but if you are after more of a neck mess then just whack it all on. Keep away from really fine chains as these are the ones that tend to tangle. Add some colour with some beads especially in the summer. Aim for your bottom layer to end in a V as an obvious finish to your stack.

Same thing goes really. I love a mix of bangles with chain and beads. there are no rules in my book!

This summer beads are a big trend. Statement, colourful jewellery with oversized shells and charms will be everywhere. You can mix rope and cord in with your chains too to add colour and contrast. Gold is still 'in' but if you suit silver better stick with that. Or go for a mix - that never dates!
