Ring stacking is an excellent way to mix things up by layering your thin rings to create an astounding statement. Stacking rings is traditionally done by wearing one's engagement ring and wedding band together. When done right, ring stacking can be stylish and balanced. When done wrong, your fingers would look overcrowded and bulky. Read and learn more about the basics on how you can accent your rings: -
Always Wear the Right Size
When it comes to wearing rings, sizing is always important so that the ring fits your finger snugly. If your base ring fits properly but the other rings stacked above or beneath don’t fit, the entire ring stack will feel uncomfortable to wear. Wearing ill-fitting rings increases the chance of your rings falling off or getting damaged if they don’t stay in place on your finger. If your ring takes up a lot of space, opt for a band that allows your rings to fit comfortably.

Focus on Only One Centerpiece Bling
Each ring stack will need an eye-catching centerpiece with an equally dazzling embellishment. Your base ring may feature a sparkling centerstone and should be the main focus of your ring stack. Avoid layering an already shiny gemstone ring with other bejeweled stacking rings or else it will take up too much attention. Pave ring bands are an elegant way to add some shine to your ring stack without being over the top. You could also consider smaller cluster gemstone rings or rings ornamented with smaller gems to complement your main centerpiece.
Avoid Accenting Every Finger
Accessorizing is all about trial and error. When it comes to layering your rings, one of the biggest mistakes you can make is wearing rings on all of your fingers. Ring stacking is all about mixing and matching various textures to see what fits best for you. Wearing too many rings on your hands can be quite overwhelming and flashy. Therefore, be sure to leave a finger (such as your thumb or your pinkie) bare when experimenting with your ring stacking.
Mix Metal Medley
If you’re new to stacking rings, there’s nothing wrong with sticking to a single metal for a more unified finishing touch. But for the more experienced fashionista, it is fine to incorporate different tone metals into your ring stack. A multi-toned ring stack never fails to impress: romantic rose gold tones tend to bridge and blend well with any complexion. When you blend rose gold hues with luxurious warm-toned metals and sophisticated cool-toned metals, it creates a unique harmony.
While stacking different rings will not damage your rings, it is not recommended to stay with the same karat or metal content so that your rings will not rub down on one another. For example, when you wear a sterling silver ring with a pure silver ring together, the pure silver ring may get scratched since pure silver is softer.
Overall, the main point of stacking rings is a way to express your fashion sense. Accessorizing is all about self-expression through what you wear and making yourself feel comfortable in your own skin. Ring stacking is all about experimenting with different combinations and styles to find what works best for you.
