If you only buy one pendant for a stack, make it this one. The 5.5-6mm freshwater pearl in 18k gold vermeil sits right at the collarbone, so a longer chain can hang below it without tangling. It is the piece I reach for when I want a little polish wi...

Layering made foolproof: two chains are already joined into one necklace, a 17 inch and a 19 inch, so the staggered lengths are done for you. The little enamel pops of color keep it from looking too serious on a plain tee. Good starter piece if you a...
