It’s easy to see why ring stacks are so HUGE right now. Wearing multiple rings is a surefire way to elevate your outfits and even add a burst of colours to your looks (hello, gemstone rings!) But what we love the most about stacking rings is that it allows you to get creative and experimental. It’s a fun way to express yourself, after all!

Having said that, ring stacks can be incredibly tricky to pull off given that you’re supposed to add multiple rings to your hands at a time. If you wear too few, it loses its punch.

Fear not, because we’ve put together our top 7 tips to help you pull off the ring stacking latest trend like a pro. Right from how to pick rings to mixing metals, this article covers it all. And we’re pretty sure that with these tips on hand, you’ll end up creating really cool ring stacks that are worthy of the ‘gram this summer!

Create the Perfect Ring Stack: 7 Rules to Swear By

 1. The More Rings, the Merrier

How many rings are too many rings?

It’s pretty much a you-do-you endeavor, so you can add as many rings to the mix as you want. And while we don’t want to quash your creative vision, we suggest wearing 3-4 rings on one finger at the max to allow easy movement of your fingers.

Pro-tip: Pick a few dainty and delicate stackable rings for your pile as they’ll make your fingers appear longer, and who doesn’t want that? PS: If you’re looking for new additions, you’ll love to shop these stackable jewellery pieces!

 2. Always Begin With a Showstopping Piece

A showstopping piece is essentially a bold, statement ring. This could be your birthstone ring, an oversized cocktail ring or a signet ring. BTW, stacking rings with your engagement ring and wedding ring works too!

Once you’ve picked out your central piece, we recommend you use this as your foundation and build your stack around it. Then add smaller rings with thinner bands to compliment the star of the show.

 3. Mix & Match Metals

Yes, we know that back in the day, we were taught to wear our silver with silver and gold with gold. But we’re here to tell you to throw that rule out of the window and mix your metals up for a nice contrast instead. Yep. In 2024, creating mixed metal ring stacks is the way to go!

There are two things you need to keep in mind to avoid making a fashion faux pas and pull off a mixed metal look successfully. First, stick to only two metal hues at a time – this could be rose gold and silver, yellow gold and silver, yellow gold and white gold, rose gold and yellow gold and so on. Once you pick a dominant metal you can incorporate 2-3 pieces of the second metal colour throughout your stack. Second, when working with mixed metals, ensure that the rings are mixed on the same hand and are dispersed evenly (So, silver on one hand and gold on the other hand, for instance, is a big no-no).

Did you know that we offer gorgeous women’s stackable rings, wedding bands and anniversary rings in a variety of metal options? Yep, besides classic yellow gold, you can take your pick from white gold, rose gold, platinum and silver. This makes customising your stackable rings easy-peasy and also fit within your budget. Neat, huh?

 4. Play With Different Gemstones

A ring stack is meant to be a fun way to tell the world about who you really are. So, if you’re drawn to your birthstone or are simply fond of coloured gemstones and want to incorporate them into your ring stack to personalize it, go for it. After all, 2024 is the era of colour!

Just try to pick gemstones from the same colour palette to up the style quotient and enhance the overall visual impact. For example, emerald, tsavorite and real peridot rings would add uniformity to your stack and hence, work well together. However, if you’re wearing rings of the same metal and colour palette, play around with the ring designs, shapes and widths for an eclectic feel.

PS: We’ve got an amazing assortment of stackable birthstone rings and stackable gemstone rings for those who want to tell their story through coloured gemstones. From blue sapphire and rubies to opals and citrines, you’ll find them all at Angara. But even if you’re looking for stackable diamond rings for that all-out sparkle, we’ve got you covered, boo!

 5. Leave at Least One Finger Bare

Piling on several rings can quickly go from ‘just enough’ to ‘too much’ real quick, and it’s easy to accidentally go overboard. To avoid the cluttered and overwhelming look, we suggest you leave at least one of your fingers (preferably your pinky or thumb) unadorned. This will ensure that your ring stack looks intentional, balanced and cohesive.

 6. Try Stacking the Minimalist Way

Perhaps you aren’t someone who loves a dramatic, all-eyes-on-my-fingers kinda stack or maybe you need to retain the full range of mobility in your knuckles. If that’s the case, go for a single-line or a horizontal stacking look: wearing just one ring on a few fingers. It’s a more nuanced way to try the trend and still packs a punch!

 7. Ease Off on Other Jewellery

Duh! Unless you want your jewellery to compete with each other for attention. While it’s recommended you leave your wrists bare and only wear rings on your fingers for maximum impact, you can still opt for a chic gemstone necklace and throw in a pair of your favourite earrings into the mix.

If you’re feeling extra creative, feel free to match your ring stack’s theme with your other jewels. For instance, if you’re picking a floral theme for your stack, you can pick earrings and/or a necklace with a floral motif—and boom, you’ll be nailing that ring stacking game like a pro!
