Stacking rings is an art, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether you're curating a stack of bands or layering a wedding ring around your engagement ring, a few key principles will help you create a look that feels intentional, balanced, and uniquely yours.
Creating a Stack With Just Bands
A band-only stack is effortlessly chic and endlessly customizable. Here’s how to make it work:
Start with a foundation – A thicker band or textured ring sets the tone.
Mix textures and widths – Pair smooth, twisted, or beaded bands for dimension.
Play with spacing – Some rings can sit flush, while others leave intentional gaps for contrast.
Experiment with metals – Stick to a dominant tone or mix for a modern edge.
Distribute across fingers – Balance your stack by spacing rings across both hands.
Stacking Around Your Engagement Ring
Your engagement ring is the star—your stack should enhance it, not overpower it.
Frame it with curved bands – Our contoured bands are specifically designed to complement our Toi et Moi and low-profile one-of-a-kind (OOAK) rings. They hug the center stone beautifully, creating a seamless and intentional stack.
Pair Raised bands with straight bands – If your engagement ring is a Raised Mosaic style, it will stack best with a straight band, ensuring a flush fit and cohesive look.
Add balance – A slim band above or below prevents the stack from feeling too top-heavy.
Incorporate contrast – Diamond bands, mixed metals, or negative space add interest.
Keep it personal – Your stack should feel like an extension of your style, whether minimal or bold.
*Note: Not all bands stack equally. For our Mosaic designs, inline rings, which sit flush against the finger, are designed to be worn solo. They don’t accommodate stacking, as the design sits directly on the skin without space for additional bands. However, if you opt for a Raised Mosaic ring, it leaves just enough room for a complementary straight band, making it a perfect stacking option.
