The Inside Stack: The Why, How and Where of Ring Stacking

While newlywed women have been ceremoniously stacking wedding bands for generations, ring stacking as a fashion statement is relatively new on the scene. Yet, the personality that it brings to an ensemble makes this a welcomed accessory trend and a great way to style up any type of look.

The Why

Let’s be honest, people are pretty used to seeing outfits styled with necklaces, bracelets, earrings and even larger-than-life cocktail rings. But smaller rings stacked along the fingers are a bit more unexpected. Plus, this one trend can be accomplished in a number of different ways, making it even more exciting. Then, of course, there’s the added bonus of subtly bringing attention to your fresh mani that makes this style a win-win.

The How

There are many factors that can contribute to a successful ring stack, but here are a few quick tips to keep in mind as you build your own:

• Go with round. While some unusual shapes could help create unique stacks, round rings offer the easiest and most flexible stacking options.
• The number of stacked fingers is up to you! Go for one accent finger or a couple with different ring styles.
• Stacking doesn’t have to start at the base of your finger. Consider wearing smaller or expandable rings as midis that rest above your second knuckle.
• Rings of different styles add variety to your look. Choose some rings with simpler details and some that are more bold styles.
• Keep metals coordinated, or mix it up. Stacked rings in the same metal will give a more unified look, while mixed metals gives a modern take on accessorizing.
• Create stacks of significance. Each of our rings has a special meaning. Purposefully stack them together to create your own empowering messages.

The Where

Ring stacks can fit in almost anywhere, just be sure to tailor the stack personality to the occasion or environment you’ll be wearing it in.

• Formal or professional settings: Opt for shorter stacks of rings in simpler styles. Our Skeleton Key or Feather expandable rings are more understated designs that can be subtly stacked.
• A big event: Create ring stacks of meaning. For example, the LOTUS PEACE PETALS ring paired with the PATH OF LIFE expandable ring can channel positivity and motivation for you.
• A night out on the town: Mix in a little bit of everything! Try combining smaller charms with larger ones and even mix taller ring stacks or midis with shorter ring stacks to complement your ensemble.

Whether you start low and stack high or choose to stack on midi rings, the possibilities are virtually endless to build successful ring stacks. Get started now by checking out our Rings Page and be sure to share your stacks with #charmedfingers – THAT is The Inside Stack!
