Want your rings to be meaningful as well as glamorous? We highly recommend flaunting a wedding ring stack!
Picture this: You’ve just said “Yes!” to the love of your life and your engagement ring is everything you dreamed of. But, as you float back down to earth from cloud nine, you realise that the perfect engagement ring is merely the opening act in the grand play of matrimonial accessorizing. There are several more pilgrimages to be made to the jeweller’s with the quest for the perfect wedding band taking centre stage. And for those of us who want to celebrate a love that grows, why stop at one?
Enter: The era of stacked wedding rings where you can celebrate every stage of your love—be it proposal, wedding or anniversary—with a ring that tells your story.
But Wait, Can You Really Afford to Deck out Your Digits Like Royalty?
With a healthy mix of natural and lab-grown gemstones, you can. While natural gemstones come with their own legacy and value, lab-grown sparklers make every girl’s dream of ‘little splurge for a lot of sparkle’ possible because not only are they 100% real but also as shiny as heirloom-quality natural gemstones (and all for a much smaller price tag).
Now that’s what we call a worthy expression of your love!

How to Rock the Perfect Wedding Ring Stack?
Tip #1: Remember, Moderation Is Key
Unlike cheese on pizza, when it comes to ring stacking, there is such a thing as too much.
So, what’s the magic number, you ask?
Well, we suggest aiming for an odd figure to create an appealing look. Three or five rings are enough to make a statement without having a difficult time trying to bend your finger.
Tip #2: Play Metal Matchmaker
Gone are the days when mixing metals was a fashion faux pas. Today, it’s all about creating a look that’s as unique as your Spotify recommendations.
Want to combine a rose gold engagement ring with a platinum band? Do it. Fancy adding a yellow gold ring into the mix? Why not! This is your chance to mix and match until you create a stack you love.
Tip #3: Pick Your Coloured Stones Wisely
IMO, a wedding ring stack is basically a Pinterest board documenting your love story. So, why not make it colourful?
That said, we highly recommend opting for stones on either the same side or opposite sides of the colour wheel to ensure a seamless look. For example, rubies and emeralds feature complimentary colours, i.e., colours that fall on the opposite sides of the colour wheel. So, these gems would look gorgeous when paired together and give the stack a vibrant vibe.

Tip #4: Shape Matters Here
When looking for stackable rings for your wedding, the shape of your stones plays a bigger role than you might think.
For example, if your engagement ring sports a trendy oval-shaped diamond, consider a contoured wedding band that curves around it to sit flush, ensuring there are no awkward gaps in your stack.

Tip #5: Don’t Forget the Setting
Lastly, remember that the setting of your gemstone can greatly impact the final look of your stack. If you’re all about that ‘go big or go home’ style, choose wedding bands and stackable rings with a raised setting. But if subtlety is more your vibe, look for bands with low mounting that complement each other without competing for attention.

4) Vintage Vibe
Want your stack to reflect some old-world charm? Use a vintage-inspired sparkler, like this lab-grown emerald solitaire ring, as your showstopping piece. Build your stack around it with the help of a wedding band with subtle vintage detailing.

5) Unique Twist
The perfect balance of form and function, an open ring is a stress-free way to create an appealing wedding ring stack as the negative space in its design allows any engagement ring to fit in like a perfect puzzle piece.
To amp up the sparkle quotient, we recommend teaming your stunner with a blue sapphire and diamond band in similar shapes.
6) Style With Substance
Lastly, if you want your stack to reflect the path your love has taken, opt for meaningful pieces that nod to every milestone.
For instance, pairing the rare tanzanite with a three-stone sapphire engagement ring and an anniversary ring is a stunning (re: sparkly) way to celebrate and showcase your relationship’s journey.
