Necklace layering has been here for some time now, and it's still taking over summer fashion. The key to pulling off this trend is mixing various lengths and textures to achieve a harmonious, chic appearance.

How to Take Care of Your Summer Jewelry

Depending on your jewelry composition, jewelry can become damaged from sun, saltwater, and sweat in the summer.  Here are a few tips to keep your favorite gold plated pieces looking new:

1. Avoid direct exposure to water – Seawater and chlorine can discolor gold-plated jewelry.

2. Store it properly – Keep your jewelry in a dry location when not being worn to avoid tarnishing.

3. Clean regularly – Wipe your items with a soft cloth after every use.

4. Remove prior to lotion or sunscreen application – Oils can accumulate and tarnish the luster of your jewelry.
