Congratulations! You’ve just got engaged. Now what? Your jewelry shopping does not end once you’ve gotten your engagement ring. It’s time to start searching for a wedding band too. Found more than one that you love? Don’t worry! Here is all you need to know about stackable wedding rings.

Getting Started

So, you’ve seen the stackable wedding ring trend and you’re keen to get started on one of your own. There are some things to keep in mind when you start to create your stack. You should consider the shape and size of your engagement ring, and it’s also best to try them on yourself in person.

How Many Rings?

This is actually up to you. Most people will find that they can fit about three to four rings on their ring finger, but this depends on the shape and size of each individual ring. Odd numbers may also look more pleasing too, but ultimately, stick to what you’re most comfortable with. It may take some time to get used to the weight and sensation of multiple rings on one finger as well.

Should You Mix and Match?

This depends on your personal preference. If you prefer a more put-together and organized look, you can match rings by metal or type of details. If you prefer a more unique mismatched look, you can select several rings that have different metal types, styles, and details. For example, you can even stack a collection of gold, silver, and rose gold rings.

The Ring Style That Works Best

This depends on the type of look you are going for with your stack. If you want to show off the sparkly diamond on your engagement ring, choose an engagement ring with a raised mounting so that it stands out against the other bands. If you prefer a look that is less showy, you could select rings that fit closely against the engagement ring itself. Lastly, if you prefer a more mismatched and unique look, you can combine lower mountings with straight bands.

How to Shop for a Stack

You can either take your time with selecting rings and purchase them individually, to give yourself time and options to choose rings that you really love, or you can look for stackable wedding ring sets that some stores offer. The latter may be more cost effective as you may get a discounted price for purchasing several rings at once from the same store. But if you’re not in a rush to build your stack, taking the time to look for pieces that you genuinely adore may help in creating a stack that you will want to wear for years to come.

Tips to Take Note of

Remember to try on the stack in person. It is best to get a feel for the stack on your finger, and who knows, you might come across a combination that you didn’t expect to love.

Try to ensure that the profile of all your rings in the stack is similar to get a more cohesive and balanced look.

Choose an engagement ring in a solitaire style to make the stacking process very straightforward.
