Ring stacking is a form of self-expression, letting you celebrate milestones, mix heirlooms with new pieces and change your look daily. If you’re new to ring stacks, building one is simple.
Follow these tips to create a stack you’ll love with confidence and explore our picks for the ideal ring-layering pieces.
Start with a meaningful ring
Begin with a ring that means the most. This could be an engagement ring, a family heirloom or a favorite band. By anchoring your stack with a ring that holds meaning, the rest of your rings build around that personal collection.
Add variety
A personal stack blends styles and materials that represent different chapters of your life. For example, combining a family piece with colored diamonds, vibrant gemstones and different gold tones is a perfect way to create a beautiful, wearable narrative.
Achieve different design styles and looks by introducing a piece with a unique element, such as beading or a curved design.

Penny Preville Stardust Criss-Cross Ring: This crossover-style ring adds a striking visual element to a stack with its fluid wrapped design and 0.51 carats of diamonds. It breaks up straight bands and makes the stack feel more layered.
Sethi Couture Rosée White Gold Diamond Bow Band: This 18k white gold geometric band, featuring 0.37 carats of diamonds, stands out for its repeating pattern of round and kite-shaped stations, adding dimension and flow when paired with simpler bands or solitaire rings.
Sethi Couture Channel Rope Stacking Band: This 18k yellow band, with its rope-like design, brings spacing in between other rings, creating an intentional, balanced look.
Play with texture and proportion
Create visual interest by mixing different shapes and finishes. Pair a thick, smooth band with a delicate, diamond-dusted one or a twisted ring beside a polished, classic. These contrasts give a stack depth and personality, preventing it from appearing uniform.

Mix metals and colors
Today’s trend of mixing metals also extends to ring stacking. A combination of platinum, yellow, white and rose gold creates a warm and modern look.
To begin, choose a dominant metal color and then weave in other tones, colored gemstones and diamonds for pops of personality, such as:
Sethi Couture Petite Bubble Band with Rainbow Sapphires: This 18k yellow gold petite band adds playfulness and color to any stack with its 13 brilliant-cut multi-color sapphires.
Sethi Couture Yin and Yang Band: The contrast of 17 white and 17 black diamonds adds an interesting edge to a stack.
Lagos Embrace Two-Tone X Caviar Diamond Ring: This ring adds textural depth to a ring stack through its intentional mix of metals: 18K yellow gold and sterling silver. It introduces layers of color that play beautifully against single-metal bands.
Let it evolve over time
You can add new rings to celebrate milestones or memorable moments. You can also switch out bands depending on your mood, outfit or the occasion. Give yourself the freedom to play and let your collection grow and change with you.

Your stack, your story
