9 Celeb-Approved Creative Ways To Style The Rings You Already Own

Kate Hudson and other “cool girls” are showing us how to style rings in 2024—and we need to catch up.

Not so long ago, women were skittish about buying jewellery for themselves, especially rings. They’d wait for a man to adorn their hands with sparklers. Thankfully, all that’s changed. Today, we ladies love the idea of treating ourselves to the sparklers we want, when we want.

The result? Endless rings in our jewellery collection!

But they needn’t be locked away in your jewellery box to gather dust. 2024’s jewellery trends call for styling your favourite rings in new, creative ways that’ll make you feel anything but basic. We’re talking multiple rings on multiple hands, ‘cause girl, a solo finger ring is so last decade!

From mixing metals making a comeback to colourful gemstones defining sartorial brilliance, now’s the right time to let the art of ring stacking subtly showcase your personality while experimenting with different trends to elevate your ‘fits.

How To Style Rings?

Having said that, stacking rings can be a little tricky to pull off. Too few, and it loses its punch. Too many or the wrong mix, and you can end up looking like a little girl who raided her grandmother’s jewellery stash.

So, we let our fav cool girls, Kate Hudson, Hailey Bieber, Blake Lively and others show us how to style rings to keep our accessory game on-trend.

Ready to get stacking? Let’s go!

1. Ring In A Theme

Maybe you have multiple similar-themed rings in there.

Then, how about creating a jewellery look that’s “in” this year? Colourful, floral and vintage styles are all trending in 2024. Plus, picking a theme will act as a foundation for your layering game and make stacking so much easier.

For example, if you’re in the mood for floral, you pick something like our cushion-cut emerald and diamond floral ring and then build it up with more nature-inspired rings (read: leaves, branches, flowers).

Or perhaps you have pearlcore on your mind but want to know how to wear pearl rings the cool-girl way? Your best bet here would be to stack on your best pearl ring (or steal one from your mom’s jewel box) with diamond rings in gold or silver to make a statement.

2. Go Wild And Stack Unevenly

Here’s your chance to use every and any type of ring in your stash and look unconventionally stylish. To stack your rings unevenly yet tastefully, pile several rings on one or two fingers and wear only one ring each on the others. Feel free to play around with various shapes and styles to create dimension. And if your stack feels too overwhelming, leave one or two fingers bare.

P.S. Want your ring stack to sparkle with personality? Try heart- and pear-shaped rings. Don’t worry, our lowdown on how to wear pear-shaped rings will have you master this hack in no time!

3. Mix Your Metals And Gemstones

Here, at Angara, we always encourage you to live life in colour, be it through metals or gemstones. Besides, mixing ruby with blue sapphire or diamond with tanzanite is so fun! Now when it comes to mixing metals, it is no longer considered a faux pas.

However, you want to stick to only two metal hues at a time (ex. rose gold and silver or yellow gold and white gold)

Secondly, you want to keep the mixed hues dispersed unevenly. Ergo, stacking silver rings on one hand and golden on the other is a big NO. But layering with one dominant metal hue and sprinkling a couple of pieces of another metal throughout your stack?

Now, that’s what we call a style streak!

Here are a few yellow gold rings, white gold rings and rose gold rings to help you get started!

4. Go Monochrome

Minimalist fashionistas, this one’s for you.

If you’re not down with the mix & match game yet, look at adding multiple rings in the same colour and metal to your stack for a sophisticated look.

This diamond stack in white gold is so wearable that you will never feel like taking it off (workplace included). Feel free to throw in rings of varied styles for a little extra texture and dimension.

5. Make It Personal

Whoever said that your ring stack couldn’t tell your story couldn’t be more wrong. There are so many ways to personalize your look; you could add a birthstone, zodiac or even an initial ring to your stack, just like Hailey Biebs! (Did you spot her JB ring yet?)

When it comes to Angara’s birthstone, zodiac and initials jewellery collection, you get to customise your ring with the metal and gemstone you’re comfortable with to truly reflect your story (we can throw in free ring engraving for you too).

In fact, we’re in awe of how our customers are making milestones out of moments with their personalised pieces.

“This vintage-style garnet ring was a gift for myself after my son recently passed away. Garnet was his birthstone, so I wanted a beautiful ring in remembrance of him. I ordered the white gold band with an heirloom stone, and it didn’t disappoint. It’s perfect and it reached me on the date promised, my birthday.”

6. Tune It In With Your Bracelet And Necklace

Thanks in part to Jenna Ortega’s Golden Globes 2024 jewellery look, matching your rings with your bracelet and necklace (or both) has really taken off. It can tie your entire look together while still making a big impact.

Here are two things to keep in mind if you want to ace this trend: First, wear a few statement-worthy rings so they don’t get overshadowed by your bracelet and necklace layers. Second, coordinate your bracelet/necklace and rings in terms of theme, metals and gemstones for a cohesive yet standout look.

7. Play The Finger Game

Don’t believe that wearing certain ring styles on certain fingers can perk up your entire vibe? You will… with these tricks.

If you’re looking to make heads turn, we recommend wearing a big hero bauble on your middle finger. Whereas, if you’re looking to add a funky twist to your stack, wear a bolder piece (like a signet ring) on your pinky finger.

A gemstone ring, on the other hand, can look quite impactful when worn on the index finger. Complete the set with a few other rings that suit the mix.

Friendly advice: be sure to get your nails done ‘cause a stack like that is bound to grab some eyeballs!

8. Remix Your Engagement Ring Look

A post shared by @angarajewellery

Want to spice up the look of your engagement ring? Consider layering it with rings and bands. A fail-safe hack is to add a complementary band to your engagement ring finger and a couple more rings on other fingers that too not grab too much attention.

Do we hear wedding bells? Say bye-bye to finding your engagement ring a perfect wedding band in a sea of puzzling options and go for Angara’s bridal set instead. They come with engagement rings that are already paired with the perfect matching wedding bands so that you tick this off and focus on other things on your wedding list.

9. Play It Up With Gloves

The ‘opera gloves’ trend has already started trickling down to the masses from red carpets and Bridgerton-like debutant balls, and it’s easy to see why. The visual aesthetic is so impressive. Plus, nothing says “I’m the drama” like sporting opera gloves to your regular coffee shop or a night out on the town. So, whether you wear a single cocktail ring or a bunch of rings over your new elbow-length accessory like Dua Lipa, you can count on it to play up any outfit.
