HOW TO STACK RINGS LIKE A PRO!

Stacking rings like a pro isn't something that comes naturally - but it is something that can be mastered. So if you're looking to up your accessory game and learn how to stack rings like an absolute pro, then you've come to the right place. Read on for our top tips on how to create the perfect ring stack.

1) KEEP IT SIMPLE

If you are a newbie to ring stacking, it's best to avoid unnecessary ring hassles whenever possible. Opt for thin, delicate ring styles because dainty rings are practically fool-proof when starting out. You can layer as many rings as possible since dainty rings are lightweight, comfortable to stack and blend with virtually no effort compared to chunky ring styles that require a lot of trial and error. As you master simple ring styles and begin to progress, you can play around and add more texture and dimension to your stack.

2) MIXING + MATCHING STACKING RINGS

Mixing metals in your ring stack is absolutely ok, and it can help highlight contrasting colors, which adds depth to your look. For example, let's say you are wearing a yellow gold band with diamonds; mix and match it with the same ring style but in a different metal (silver); this creates a nice contrast while still looking cohesive. Because yellow gold is sometimes too predictable and can feel stale, an unexpected pop of silver can really add some excitement and shimmer to your ring stack.

Likewise, it is also ok to mix and match different widths. However, when combining thin and thick bands, remember it is essential to stack your rings with thinner rings at the base of your finger and complete the digit with thicker bands. Meaning, go thin-to-thick, don't go the other way around. Likewise, your stack of bands should gradually get thinner to avoid looking "squished" together.

3) LEAVE ONE FINGER BARE

Resist the temptation to pile on your stacking rings until all fingers are full. Part of the beauty of stackable rings is playing with negative space, so try to leave at least one finger bare—experiment with 1, 3, and 5 fingers (out of ten).

If you don't just leave one finger bare, your fingers will look weighed down, and your stacked rings will start to blend together visually. Trust us, wearing fewer rings will make your individual pieces stand out more.

4) ADD MIDI RINGS

Midi ring stacking is also a great way to balance out your look and create symmetry. Midi rings are thin, thin bands that are usually worn on the mid-section of the finger (right below your knuckle). This is a great way to add texture to your already existing stack. For increased visual interest, create a mix of gold and silver midi rings for both hands or just one.

5) INCORPORATE VINTAGE PIECES

Inquire about raiding your grandmother's jewelry box. It's the ideal location for a retro-glam find. We adore mixing vintage and art deco treasures with contemporary pieces. The unexpected clash of design elements is just soo alluring in a ring stack.

Vintage finds are perfect for stacking and can add a subtle hint of romance to your ring game. They also make great conversation starters. So, the next time you're out antiquing, keep an eye out for rings that look good stacked together. You never know what treasures you'll find!

6) CHOOSE A STATEMENT RING WISELY

Choose a statement ring with caution! Sometimes one big statement ring can overshadow the rest of your stack if it's too overwhelming. Do your best to find something that stands out but won't overpower the other pieces in your ring stack.

7) INVEST IN ETERNITY BANDS

Eternity bands are perfect for layering, as they provide an elegant balance. Eternity bands feature an unbroken circle of precious stones that wrap around a finger gracefully. Worn alone or stacked with other pieces, these rings will give your ring stack a timeless look and sophistication that's hard to beat.

8) LET YOUR ENGAGEMENT RING TAKE CENTER STAGE

If you're a proud ring stacker but also have an engagement or wedding band, don't fret! The great thing about stacking rings is that your engagement ring can still be the star of the show and take center stage. Simply add complimentary pieces to enhance its beauty and make it stand out even more.

9) BUILD YOUR RING STACK OVER TIME

Nobody begins with rings that are perfectly arranged, mixable, and stackable. Therefore, building up your personal ring collection over time is necessary. Start with a few delicate rings, then gradually add more unique items as you discover what works for you.

WRAPPING UP

We hope we've inspired you to take your ring stacking game up a notch. Remember, practice makes perfect, and don't be afraid to layer more than one metal or design element. Just remember, the key is to keep it simple and play with negative space by leaving at least one finger bare. We guarantee that with these tips, you'll be stacking rings like a pro in no time. Good luck! Happy Ring Stacking! :)
