There’s layering — and then there’s neck-stacking with purpose.
This isn’t about piling on chains like spaghetti. It’s about creating a stack with punch, polish, and personality. Whether you’re clashing textures or keeping it tight with buttery antique gold, a good neck stack doesn’t whisper. It speaks.
In our latest Instagram carousel, we styled four unapologetically different stacks. Here’s the breakdown — and how to steal the look.
16.25” flat curb chain with a dainty lemon agate pendant — a pop of citrus that brings the zing
18” Prince of Wales rope chain with an anchor charm — all texture, all attitude
21.5” sleek box chain with an Albert clasp + vintage cuckoo clock — drama, story, movement
Why it slaps:
Clean structure, punchy pendants, and zero clashing. Warm gold tones keep it cohesive. That cuckoo clock? Just the cherry on top.
16.5” 14ct bi-coloured snake chain with a garnet pendant — sleek, slinky, and deliciously deep red
18.5” knife edge biker chain — crisp and confident
**25.5” serpentine with a ship’s wheel charm — drapey vintage gold with nautical edge
30” multi-gem set chain — basically a disco ball in chain form
Why it works:
This stack lives in contrast. Soft sparkle meets bold edges, and it somehow makes total sense.
16” 18ct bead and bar chain — luxe and low-effort
18.5” Unoaerre wide flat link — liquid gold energy. Pure Italian power
Why it works:
This stack doesn’t try, It doesn’t need to. Two chains. Big presence. Quiet flex.
16” bar link x Prince of Wales with a vintage poodle charm — playful, a little kitsch, a lot of charm
18.5” knife edge biker — yes, she’s back again. She’s a staple
**20” oval belcher with a dog clip + spinel-set mano figa — protective, powerful, and ready to make a point
28” antique hayseed — long, lean, and rich in texture
Why it works:
It’s curated chaos. Every chain adds something different — and somehow, they all belong
Build Your Own Stack Like You Mean It
Want to get stacking? Here’s how to nail it:
Go 3–4 layers deep, from collarbone to mid-chest
Mix your links — round with flat, smooth with textured. Boring isn’t welcome here
Pick your hero charm and layer around it
Stick to one tone or go full clash — just commit
The best stacks aren’t careful. They’re collected. They tell your story — and turn heads doing it.

You bring the neck. We’ll bring the gold.
