The Dos & Don’ts of Building Your Engagement Ring Stack

Beautiful engagement ring stacks are definitely taking center stage in our social media feeds and it’s only fitting that we are seeing more and more ways you can pair your engagement rings with other statement pieces. Your engagement ring may need an upgrade and a ring stack collection is exactly the new look you need. 

RING STACK DEFINITION – A ring stack is a set of multiple rings that sit or nest together in a grouping. This can include the engagement ring, wedding band, and other additional rings. The wearer can add or switch bands to express personal style or mark special occasions.

Here’s a quick guide on how to go about building your engagement ring stack; the dos and don’ts you need to learn before shopping for your ring stack pieces.  

Do find the perfect fit

Comfort, above all else, is so important when it comes to your engagement ring stack. You want to be able to wear your rings comfortably on a daily. Finding perfectly fitting rings to add to your stack is the best way to do so. 

How to find the perfect fitting rings for your ring stack:

  • Consider the shape of the center diamond of your ring

If you have a particularly larger center diamond or a design that takes up a lot of space such as a halo diamond ring, you’ll need a ring band that’s designed specifically to fit comfortably with this. 

  • Balance Proportions

If your current engagement ring has a thin ring band, you can match this with thicker styles for your stack (and vice versa).

  • Make sure the rings you choose are the same ring size as your engagement ring

If one ring in your stack is larger than another, it will not feel comfortable to wear. It’s also possible that a larger ring can easily slip off of your finger when stacked with a smaller-sized one. 

The fit makes the biggest difference when you want to wear your ring stack on a daily basis. The fit is also particularly important if you’re planning to mix and match different ring styles.

Engagement Ring Stack Guide

Don’t pair bulky with bulky

Everyone loves a statement piece, but it can get a little overcrowded with multiple statement pieces in your ring stack. It may also start to feel uncomfortable to wear if you have another ring in your stack that’s as big as your engagement ring! Avoid pairing bulky pieces in one stack. Instead, choose one statement piece and stack this with smaller, complimentary rings. 

Do mix metals for your engagement ring stack

It might not be a rule you agree with if you like to maintain a monochromatic style with your ring stack, but it is encouraged that you mix ring metals between White Gold, Rose Gold & Yellow Gold. You can give your ring stack an additional pop of color. Get creative with what metals you mix and match, creating unique looks that compliment your outfit and style. 

Don’t Limit Yourself to the One Ring Design

Do focus on one statement center diamond

The key to a sophisticated-looking engagement ring stack is focusing on one statement center diamond. This can be your current engagement ring or even a different ring style that you think stands out from the rest of your diamond ring stack.

Don’t overdo the diamonds on your engagement ring stack

If you already have a beautiful engagement ring bridal set as your centerpiece, it might be a little overwhelming to add even more diamond rings to your ring stack. Instead, choose minimal ring bands that will complement your engagement ring, rather than overpower it.

Do go out and try different styles with your engagement ring

If you’re not quite sure what type of ring styles will compliment your engagement ring, it’s time to go out and do a little window shopping. Try different ring styles and designs and see what works best with your current engagement ring. Here are a few things that are important to consider:

  • How comfortable do different rings feel with your engagement ring?
  • Will the ring scratch/damage/rub against your current engagement ring?
  • Do you need hypoallergenic rings?
  • What ring designs are within your budget?
  • What looks best with your engagement ring?

These are just a few things you can keep in mind when attempting to build your engagement ring stack. Doing a quick window shopping session will help you determine what style you like and feel comfortable wearing.

Don’t forget to check on social media
