Wear organic freshwater pearl drop earrings with beautiful gemstones for a glam organic look for day or night. Layer pearl necklaces of different lengths, color and texture. Finish it off with some big pearl rings. To change the look you can wrap a baroque pearl necklace around your wrist for a beautiful bracelet.

Twist necklaces together into a braid for a new look. Get a Chanel-like look by mixing silver, gold and different color pearl jewelry. Add a little bit of lace with a headband and lariat necklace.

Repurpose a Mesh Necklace as Headband. A mesh necklace looks like a thick beautiful chain but it so light. This knit mesh is a bit stretchy. Try it as a headband for a new look. Finish the look off with CZ or diamond hoop earrings and a stack of sterling silver or white gold bangles.

For a simple day to evening look, layer gemstone necklaces of different lengths. Finish the look off with a cocktail ring.
