We get it. Some necklace stacks look so perfectly curated, they can feel a little intimidating. Ever tried layering necklaces and thought, hmm, something feels off? Believe it or not, there’s a subtle art to getting the perfect stack…
But here’s the key: it’s meant to be fun. Like most things in life, if it makes you happy, you’re doing it right. The mission here? JOY. ✨ However, if you're looking for a little help getting started, here are some tips to guide you.
STEP ONE
Categorise necklaces by length
What you’re wearing will help dictate your stack. A deep V or plunging neckline? Go for a longer chain and pendant. A crew neck tee? Mid-lengths and chokers that sit neatly above the neckline work beautifully. Of course, a simple tee can still be dressed up for a night out, which brings us nicely to…

STEP THREE
Define your style
Are you looking to keep it simple or make a statement? Is this a casual, everyday stack or something bolder for an evening look?
You’ll naturally know the vibe you’re going for: brunch with friends, a holiday glow, a lively night out. Once you’ve got that in mind, you can start building a stack that feels just right for the moment.
STEP FOUR
Find your focal piece
Considering all the steps so far, start with a piece which feels special to you. You’ll naturally be drawn to one: maybe it holds meaning, or just feels right for your mood or the moment. Trust your gut ~ it’s calling you for a reason. Begin here, then build your stack around it.

STEP FIVE
Get layering
Layer additional necklaces around your focal piece, varying lengths and textures.
+ Mix different chain styles: Combine delicate chains with chunkier ones to add dimension.
+ Incorporate various materials: Blend metals, beads or gemstones for a rich, eclectic feel.
Simple as that! Some final things to consider…
- Have fun with it! We said it at the start, and we’ll say it again - this stack is for you. If you find a combo that makes you smile, job done. You’ve smashed it.
- How many necklaces do I need? Technically, a stack means multiple necklaces together, so let’s say 2+. But how many is too many? There’s no right or wrong. We’ve seen a mighty 5-piece stack that just worked!
- That said, if you're after an easy, effortless balance, 2-3 layers is often the sweet spot: enough to feel curated, without overwhelming your neckline.
Remember, the ultimate goal is to express your individuality and enjoy the process. Experiment with different combinations, trust your instincts, and let your necklace stack reflect your unique style.
