How to Wear Stacked Wedding Rings

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. It's the day you say "I do" to the person you are committing the rest of your life with. You're also committing to a beautiful wedding band you'll wear every single day after. With the rich history of the wedding ring, there are many designs and styles available, both traditional and contemporary. Today's wedding ring trends are more bold and unique.

One of the rising wedding ring trends today is the stackable wedding band. Stacked rings are exactly what they sound like. They consist of multiple rings stacked together and worn on the same finger. This may seem unconventional and a bit bulky, as why would you want to wear multiple rings on the same finger? There are many reasons why stackable rings are the new hottest trend.

What Are Stacked Wedding Rings?

Stackable wedding rings can be worn individually or as a set

Like wearing multiple bracelets or bangles, stacked wedding rings combine several rings. Worn either on one or a few fingers, stacked rings can be individual or interlocking. No matter the design you choose, the idea of this trend is to make a statement but still be comfortable with your rings. Stackable bands are generally very thin so that when stacking multiple bands together on one finger, it will not cause discomfort.

Depending on why you want to stack your rings, you can buy them all upfront and wear them from the moment you say “I do,” or you can add additional rings at certain milestones in your life or relationship.

The wonderful idea of stacked wedding rings is that they show a new era of wedding rings and a modern idea of marriage. It means you can get a different look daily while still keeping the essence of what wedding rings stand for.

Why Stacked Rings?

Stackable wedding rings can be made in a variety of materials, including but not limited to Gold, Mokume Gane, Timascus, and Damascus Steel

There are two main reasons why we wear wedding rings. The first is to show our love and commitment through marriage, the other to flash some fancy bling around! So why choose to wear stacked wedding rings over the traditional wedding band?

The main reason for choosing wedding rings over traditional rings is to commemorate important milestones such as anniversaries, children, or other occasions. Since they are also customizable, they can be changed to match any outfit, bulked up, or toned down to fit the occasion.

Rings can match or be completely different depending on the look you are going for. It's a jewelry lover’s dream. You can also choose different materials or stones together to tell your personal story.

How to Stack Rings

Stackable wedding rings are typically made in a smaller width to allow multiple to be worn at once

It is really up to you how you stack your rings. You can choose the shapes and sizes, the colors, and the materials to suit your every ring fantasy. But there are a few options that you can consider if you are unsure of where to start. Once you are comfortable with your rings, you can start to change your stacking to suit outfits or occasions.

The Enclosure Stack

The rings in this stack are made to fit together and usually come in three or five rings. The ring that has the largest stone sits in the middle and is flanked either side by slim rings. These can be simple or curved for dramatic effect. The idea is to draw the eye to the center ring, which is often the engagement ring or wedding band.

The Nested Stack

Paying homage to art décor, wearing stacked wedding rings is a unique and artistic option. Asymmetrical layers that create a ripple effect using matching rings, half-circles, or other shapes move outwards on the finger.

The Champagne Stack

One of the most eye-catching options for stacked wedding rings is the champagne effect. Using rounded edges and sparkling stones, this design is delicate and optimizes the play of light.

The Eclectic Stack

This is a great choice if you are looking for more creative freedom from your stacked wedding rings. Traditional engagement rings and wedding bands use stones and metals, but eclectic stacks tend to mix and match. Stacking different metals and stones creates a beautiful story of celebration and new chapters.

The Glam Wall Stack

This style of stacked wedding rings is often limited to three rings, as it uses pave or channel set gemstones sitting flush next to each other. This option can be overwhelming and dazzling, or even a bit uncomfortable if there are too many bands.

Coming Full Circle

Going with stacked wedding rings is not for everyone, just as going the traditional route may not be for you. However, it is nice that there is another option for those who would like to add some extra memories alongside their marriage vows.

Like your wedding and your relationship, you can custom tailor your wedding rings to best reflect the person or couple that you are and add some sparkling modern flair to your hands.
