Bring me a ring that blows away my heartstrings! 
And off we go to a magical land of spring
Where swings are adorned with bling…
And my king sings melodies that cling to my heart like stacking rings!

Oh my Heavens, never thought ring stacking could be such a romantic thing. And why not if it’s coming from your beloved as a promise of love and togetherness year after year? But hey, wait. We never said that these are only for the romantics. It’s a hot fashion jewelry trend that has sent all the jewelry admirers into a frenzy. Want to know more about this stacking game, here we go! 

What’s It All About? 

Before that, let’s first discuss what a stack is. A stack is a vertical arrangement of items following the principle of LIFO (Last-In-First-Out). Simply put, the item placed last also comes out first in a stack. Coming back to ring stacking, it is the art of styling several rings together on the same finger. And now you could relate to why we call it a stack. It’s because the last or the topmost ring in the stack is the first one to be removed. 

Why Should I Stack Rings?

When we talk about ring stacking, stacked wedding rings come first to the mind. But you can also create a stack for commemorating other meaningful occasions, such as anniversaries or birthdays. Alternatively, you can always stack rings just for fun to flaunt your personal choices and preferences.  For instance, if you’re into engraved or cocktail rings, incorporate one in your stack to tickle your funky self.

Guide to Stacking Rings

A ring can be modest or embellished, depending on its design but stacked rings are 200% a fantastic deal. These dramatic accessories can take several forms and each assortment carries the potential to reinvent the wearer’s overall style. Though stacking rings is not as easy as it sounds, with GemsNY as your guide, it will be a cakewalk. So, are you all set to elevate your ring stack from better to the best?

1. What’s Your Ring Size?

Fingers differ in size. So, before going for ring stacking, determine the number of rings and the width of each ring for the stack. To do so, first select your rings and wear them on different fingers to check the fitting. 

Mix and match the rings with different band-widths for a comfortable and cozy look. Planning on stacking multiple thinner bands? They can be of the same size. However, if the bands are thick or the stack becomes wide enough to reach the knuckle of the finger, consider resizing. 

2. To Begin With…

If you’re new to this game, don’t bother initially with intricate details. Here’s what you can begin with – pick a faux ring stack for yourself. It’s a preset ring with different rows of metal, each embellished with a gemstone(s). The catch here is that a faux ring relieves you from the burden of mixing and matching. Initially, these rings can be your guide to building your one-of-a-kind stack. 

Alternatively, you can pick a common theme for your rings. This can include styling rings of the same gemstones or the same metal color. Once you think you’ve aced the art, go with experimenting with new styles.

3. Is There A Minimum Number?

There’s no specified rule for styling any fixed number of rings for a ring stack. You’re good to go with any number as long as the combination looks balanced. The golden rule says – don’t create clutter or keep your fingers too bare. 

Focus on creating a symmetrical appearance by adopting some simple tips. First, don’t wear rings on every finger. Second, build sets of different heights. Third, create simpler and smaller stacks beside higher ring stacks. And fourth, prioritize your comfort level over showing off.

4. Which Rings Are Good For Stacking?

Though you can use as many rings as you want, here’s what your set must cooperate with- the ring style.  It’s because not all rings are meant to be stacked. For instance, you shouldn’t stack solitaire rings having large centerstones because it may cause the gems to chip due to friction.  Also, antique-style rings with embellished designs and heavy metalwork can cause metals to scratch. 

So, before getting into which rings are suitable for stacking, you must know one thing. There is a primary or base ring around which everything else is set. Once you’ve identified this, you can then pair multiple accent rings with this base ring to create a beautiful combination. In general, most stacks feature plain metal bands, eternity rings and even bypass bands in different styles as accents.  Wedding rings and solitaire engagement rings are often paired with curved or contoured wedding accents. 

5. Experimenting with Different Gemstone & Metal Colors

When stacking rings, prefer a metal & gemstone color that goes well with your skin tone or attire. Picking similar hues will save you from mismatching. However, experimenting with complementary metal and gemstone hues in the ring stack is the new vogue. Nonetheless, it is better to understand the basics of ring stacking before following any fashion trend.

Here are a few tips you should remember. First, avoid using too many colorful gemstones; stick to white or neutral colors only. Second, refrain from using metal colors that clash with your skin or dress tone. Third, don’t contrast metal colors on different stacks; do it on the same. Fourth, avoid stacking rings made of different karats of gold since the harder ones can scratch the softer ones. Instead, pick rings with the same karat gold in different color variations. In the case of platinum, stick to this one metal only.

Whether you pick monochrome or go with a polychrome arrangement, follow your instincts for an effortless look. This is because what pleases your eyes and suits your skin tone and type will come out most beautifully.
