You’ll need the following tools and materials to make your necklace stacker clasp:
1: Two sterling silver lobster clasps with jump rings attached.

2: Two large jump rings.

3: A pair of flat nose pliers for opening and closing the jump rings.

4: Any necklaces you want to wear stacked. I used this selection of beaded and chain necklaces of different lengths.
Follow these steps to make your game-changing necklace stacker clasp:
1: Take one of the jump rings and attach it to one of the clasp ends. Close it carefully using the flat nose pliers, making sure to get the ends close together.
2: Add the second large jump ring to the end of the second clasp and close it with the pliers.
3: Clip the second clasp to the large jump ring that you attached to the first clasp.
4: Now the clasp is complete and you are ready to start stacking necklaces. The clasp of each necklace is attached to the jump ring end of the clasp, while the other end is attached to the lobster clasp end.
5: Add the first necklace by clipping it onto the jump ring.
6: Then add the other end to the clasp end by opening the clasp and sliding the ring onto it before closing it again.
7: Repeat steps 6 and 7 for the other necklaces, being careful to attach them in the same order on either side.
Once you’ve attached all your necklaces, your new stacked piece is ready to wear. You can use bigger or smaller jump rings depending on how many necklaces you wish to stack. How handy?!
Here’s the finished clasp again.
And here it is with all the necklaces attached.
Here’s how it looks when it is being used.

Here’s how to turn two necklaces into one unique statement piece.
I’ve made a few tutorials that show you how to reuse your existing jewellery to make something new, and this tutorial is another technique to add to your set of jewelry styling skills. This tutorial requires two different necklaces, I used a beaded one and a chain one, that are looped together to make something new. Please note that this tutorial contains affiliate links for which the website may receive a commission.
You will need the following tools and materials to make your looped mixed material necklace:
1: A chain necklace. I used this gold tone chain.
You can get something similar here:
2: A beaded necklace of a similar length. I used this rainbow beaded one I made earlier.
You can make your own by following these instructions (just skip the pearl), or you can buy a similar one here:
Follow these steps to make your new necklace:
1: Undo each of the necklaces and loop them together.
2: Clip the ends of each necklace closed to make two loops.
3: Open one of the clasps and attach it to the other side (without letting go of the loop you just made) to secure it around your neck.
The different materials of these necklaces allows you to create a more sculptural piece that shows off your unique style. I think it looks elegant and edgy at the same time. So cool. Here’s what it looks like on.
