How to Stack Necklaces Like a Pro | Legacy Charm’s Styling Guide

Intro:

Necklace stacking is the ultimate way to elevate any outfit—whether you’re rocking a casual tee or dressing up for date night. At Legacy Charm, we believe in timeless style with a modern twist, and necklace layering is one of our favorite ways to express it. Not sure where to start? Here’s your go-to guide on how to stack necklaces like a pro.

1. 

Start with Three Layers

A classic stack includes three layers:

·  A choker or short chain (14-16”) for the base

·  A mid-length necklace (18-20”) for balance

·  A longer pendant (22” and up) for drama

This combo gives your look depth without overwhelming your neckline.

2. 

Mix Different Textures & Styles

Don’t be afraid to mix:

·  Chains with pendants

·  Beaded necklaces with sleek metals

·  Dainty pieces with chunkier styles

The contrast adds visual interest and personality to your stack. Think: a dainty gold chain paired with a bold medallion and a gemstone drop.

3. 

Play with Metals (But Keep It Cohesive)

Mixing metals is trendy and totally doable—just keep it intentional. For example:

·  Pair silver and gold with a two-tone piece to tie the look together.

·  Stick to a common theme (like celestial, vintage, or minimalist) to keep the stack cohesive.

4. 

Use Layering Clasps or Extenders

Avoid tangles and keep everything in place by using necklace layering clasps or adjustable extenders. At Legacy Charm, several of our necklaces come with built-in extenders so you can easily switch up your layers.

5. 

Let One Piece Shine

Every great stack has a hero piece—a pendant or charm that stands out. Use your other layers to frame and complement it. If you’re wearing a Legacy Charm signature pendant, let it take center stage and build around it.

6. 

Personalize Your Stack

Layering is a perfect way to tell your story:

·  Add a charm with your initials or birthstone

·  Incorporate a vintage heirloom piece

·  Celebrate a milestone with a symbolic pendant

Jewelry is personal, and your stack should feel like you.
