How to Create a Ring Stack

Do you know how to create a ring stack? Ring stacking is a fantastic way to curate your signature jewellery style and rotate your collection. However, mixing and matching for a stylish look can be daunting, especially if you have a large collection of rings and are unsure what look you’re going for. 

To address this, we’ve created a guide to building the perfect ring stack from top to bottom. Keep scrolling to become a ring-stacking expert today.

How to Create a Ring Stack: Step-by-Step Guide

Start at the Base

Your base ring is the primary ring, which will be the focal point of your stack, so choose the one you want to define the look with. An all-gold or white gold stack will always look good but never be afraid to mix and match your rings. 

If you’ve started with a gold ring incorporating silver or rose, the gold ring above adds visual interest and rounds the look. A foolproof way of mixing and matching is sticking to two metals, with a dominant colour at the base and two to three rings of a second colour in the stack.

Vary Ring Widths

Your next step in creating a ring stack is to vary your widths if you want to wear a bold, statement ring, like a signet ring or a large jewel, at the base of your stack. Layering with bold, chunky rings will work best if you add a couple of thinner bands to create some contrast. 

The depth and dimension of a statement ring with simple, thin silver or gold bands will complement, not compete with, each other.

Leave One Finger Bare

Once you’ve grown more experienced with ring stacking, it may become tempting to stack every finger. We suggest limiting it to four fingers at a time to avoid going overboard and create a more balanced look. 

Pinkies and thumbs are good options for keeping bare, but it’s up to you. If you have thumb rings you enjoy wearing, you could change the bare finger to your index to avoid an overwhelming finish, for example.

Pick a Balanced Theme

We encourage mixing and matching but aim for a cohesive colour palette. Keeping a colour theme will make matching your ring stack with your other jewellery and outfit colours easier. 

Apply the same balanced look to the distribution of your ring stack. Distributing them evenly on your finger will avoid too much clutter on one side and make wearing them more comfortable.

The Best Ring Styles for a Stack

Signet rings are a great base ring for your stack, as well as chunky jewelled rings. Eternity bands with continuous stones are perfect for adding sparkle and pair well with thin bands. 

For a uniform look, you could start with a gold ring in a cigar band or double ring, followed by a gold jewel ring. For a unique look, you could even go for a knuckle ring higher up on your finger.
