Stacking rings, or stackers, are a jewellery trend that works for everyone. They let you dress your look up or down, by adding, removing and recombining pieces for an effect that’s as luxe or as playful as you like.
A well-curated set of stacking rings offers countless styling options.
How to wear stackers
A well-curated set of stacking rings offers countless styling options. In fact, one of the great things about stackers is that there’s no wrong way to wear them. Rock a group of thin, delicate rings on one finger for a single burst of sparkle, or spread more substantial bands across several fingers for a look that’s a little more bohemian. The shapes of your stackers don’t have to fit together; in fact, the negative space that results when you pair two very different rings on one finger can add its own visual interest.
Offset your larger, more elaborate rings with simpler, even minimalist pieces. You might decide to keep things simple with rings that coordinate perfectly, or experiment with combining different widths, proportions and even metals. When pairing rings of different colours - for example, platinum and yellow gold - look for design elements or motifs they have in common, like detailing or diamond placement.
Starting your stacker collection
If you’re already wearing an engagement ring or wedding set, you’re off to a flying start. Treat it as the centrepiece of your stacker collection, and search out pieces that complement or contrast with it, building the collection over time. Alternatively, if you’re starting a stacker collection from scratch, you might try starting with two bands that you like, and building from there as your confidence grows.
Finally, just a hint: practical, beautiful stackers make amazing gifts. So if you’re ready to give the stacker look a try, make sure that special somebody knows you’re starting a collection, and provide them with one or two guidelines.
