Is there a limit to the number of magic necklaces a person can wear or can you get the benefits of ALL of them as long as they are wrapped on your body (made nto a bracelet, wearing 3 necklaces around your neck, etc)?

By the rules, while there's no stacking, there's nothing that stops you from wearing 30 necklaces that all do something different.

Except perhaps sheer physical encumbrance...

Yeah, unless one of those necklaces is a Sphere of Silence generator, your prowl ability just tanked...
Like walking around with a heap of tire chains around your neck...

I am reminded of The Mummy (1999) when Beni meets Imhotep ... and runs through several amulets until he finds one that is useful.
Yes, I have always gone with: you can wear whatever you can wear but those the same type/bonus don't stack. Based on PFRPG:
"Further note that the effects of one such charm is not increased when several of the same item are worn. For example, a character could wear 20 rings or medallions that protect vs spell magic, but is still only +1 to save, the same as wearing one such item. However, the character can wear several different enchanted items, such as a medallion of protection against spell magic, a ring with the powers of chameleon and levitation, and another ring with protection from circles (+2). " PFRPG p253
DnD rules - only two magic rings, or only X number of Y items don't apply to Rifts/Palladium IMHO.

Good observation hup7,
I agree that the same bonus of one necklace should not stack with the same bonus that of another.
Good memory and visual with the Mummy movie too.
