FAQs on Necklace Stack

Can I mix metals in my stack?

Yes, you definitely can! You can stack gold with platinum; honestly, there is no rule book that you need to follow when it comes to jewelry styling. Mixing metals is not something that is not allowed; in fact, it is the new chic in 2025.

How many necklaces can I layer in a stack?

Your style, your rules: the sweet spot actually lies in playing between 3 and 4 necklaces to create a well-balanced necklace stack. You want your stack to scream main character rather than being bulky and all over the place.

Can I wear a necklace stack every day?

Yes, you can. If you are creating a necklace stack for work, go for minimal and dainty pieces that are subtle and sparkling. But if you are going out for a brunch date, simply swap one of the dainty pieces with a statement-worthy tennis necklace, and you will be sorted for the day.

Your Stack, Your Story

Your necklace stack, your story! Each of the necklaces that you choose to layer tells just a little part of who you are; a diamond solitaire necklace will show your grounded side, a tennis necklace will show off your sparkling side. Remember that the initial necklace that was added to the mix is to add a personal touch to the stack.

We get it; some days your stack might be minimal and understated, and on some days it will be bold and unapologetically extra, and honestly that is the beauty of it.

As you are getting ready to layer up in cozy knits and fall coats this season, don’t forget to layer your jewelry too. Because your necklace stack is more than an accessory, it’s your glow-up, captured in diamonds and chains. And honestly? One necklace will never be enough again.
