Exhibit A: So many stacking rings - yes these are all mine and yes, they all get worn.

Stacking Rings - I wear them all the time. Not always stacked.

Why? They are low profile rings that look great without getting in the way of busy/business running/artist/mom life.

I have a really stupid number of them (see exhibit A to the left) and I slip on whichever I feel like and go for the day.

I was recently asked how I pick rings to wear together and I thought “I should post about that” so here we go.

How to build your ring stack:

Have a unifying element like color or texture (e.g. all silver rings)
Think about your day - would tall rings be in the way? Will you be holding something that would make a thick ring uncomfortable?
Wear odd numbers together. So 1 or 3 or 5 rings on a single finger (I know, weird right? But it works).
Decide which fingers you would like to wear rings on. Don’t be afraid to stack one finger then wear a single ring on another (a gemstone ring even).
Most important: like what you see and put on the rings!

Seriously that is it. It is so tempting to overthink this - “Oh my gosh how to do I get the perfect boho, I am wearing 13 rings on 4 fingers, look”? Don’t worry - I know you are panicking. Alway remember the most important rule: Do you look down and think “I like it”? If so, you have made the perfect ring stack.

And because I know you are just looking for ideas in picture form… some options:

1: Buy a set, be done

You can buy a set like this one making it straight forward. Don’t be afraid to break the set up. Wear just one, or three. You can find many, many on Etsy. Most makers also sell single rings so you can build your own set. Just be aware there is often a price break when you buy a set. (Like me, ahem. Click the image to see this set).

2: Build your own

Ok here is where you get a pile of examples. Many of these are built from the rings featured in the set above, separated and mixed with other rings from my collection. I tend to like rings on my middle two fingers, but sometimes I add more.

Wide and thin together

Don’t be afraid to mix ring widths! It can really make a great look.

Mixed metal ring stack

Mixing in thin gold bands brings an accent to the center ring.

3 ring stack

Smaller ring stacks can have a lovely minimal.

Many simple rings for a statement

You can put together many minimal rings and really create a statement look.

Silver band rings are versatile

Simple hammered bands can be the core of your ring sets because you can really wear them with anything.

Circle ring and stamped ring stack

Mixing up the number of rings on each finger brings interest to the look.

3: Most importantly HAVE FUN!

Yes I am shouting at you. This is not something to sit there staring at your hand wondering if you “got it right” because the secret is there is no “right”. Do you look at your hand and think “I like that”? If so, you have it right.

Happy ring stacking!
