Stacking Rings

What are stacking rings?

Stacking rings are rings that can be stacked easily on top of one another. It might include rings that are shaped precisely to fit with others but can also refer to rings you simply wear together. Minimalist stacking rings tend to be plain in design. Maximalist options are usually bigger and might include gemstone stackable rings.

Generally, all rings can be stacked, unless they have designs that make it impossible. However, you might prefer to buy specially designed options to stack to ensure they all fit together well. Camile & Stone offers both kinds of stacking rings, including this wishbone style.

What is the rule about stacking rings?

Stacking the thickest ring at the bottom of your finger is usually the main rule when it comes to stackable rings. Doing so means the line flows and the thicker rings don’t get in the way. Likewise, if you’re choosing a decorative statement ring, like this moonstone style, it is easier to wear the biggest piece at the bottom of the stack.

You can choose to ignore this rule though. In some cases, you might prefer the thicker or heavier ring at the top of the stack. Rules are meant to be broken, after all.

What finger do you stack rings on?

The middle finger is usually the best for stacking. As the longest finger, you have more room to stack! Take advantage of the length and use this finger to stack your favourite rings.

You can also stack rings on other fingers, and your thumb too. We’d suggest not stacking rings on every single finger, as you might find it difficult to move your hand! Stacking rings might also not work depending on the ring type. In these cases, it might be best to pick and choose the ring that goes best with what you’re wearing.

How many rings should you stack?

In theory, you can stack as many rings as will fit. In practice, perhaps two or three at a time. For thin stacking rings, you will get more on your finger. You could stack three plainer styles or add in curved designs that fit together. 

If you’re stacking with a diamond or moissanite ring, like our Roxy Ring, then you might opt for just one plain band. Another option is to wear the diamond ring on one finger and stack a complimentary pair on another.

Remember that you don’t have to stack your rings. You can wear them on individual fingers if you prefer it too.

Are stacking rings in style?

Yes, they are! Stacking rings are a really cool way to dress your hands.

We love stacking rings because there are so many choices now. You might opt to mix silver and yellow gold stacking rings to add depth. You could also choose all sterling silver stacking rings, but pair plainer styles with really decorative pieces.

How do you stack rings in a minimalist way?

Stacking rings in a minimalist way can mean a few things:

• Wearing only a few rings: This could mean wearing a two-ring ring stack on one finger, and that’s it.
• Stacking minimalist bands: You could choose plain and simple styles and wear many of them across your fingers.
• Mixing the two: You could also mix minimalist styles and wear two or three rings on one finger on each hand, then scatter the remaining plain styles on individual fingers.

Remember, you can add more statement pieces to a minimalist outfit to add something different. Why not try a large moissanite ring with a few plainer ones for the perfect stack to dress up a plain outfit?

How can I wear multiple rings at once?

Stacking is one of the easiest ways. This means stacking multiple rings on one finger. We love stacking rings at Camile & Stone, so we even offer specially designed pieces for stacking in different combinations.

However, this is not the only way to wear more than one ring at a time.

You could spread rings out across your fingers, wearing one on each. Or, wearing one on your index finger, middle finger, and thumb. You can also find midi rings, which sit a little way up your finger, before your knuckle, and allow you to wear two rings on one finger.

Wearing more than one ring at a time is easy with all the styles we have at Camile & Stone. Remember to compliment your outfit with the jewellery you add. Also, try not to overwhelm the look with too much on your fingers.

Do I need specially designed stacking rings?

No, of course not.

While we think curved and wishbone ring styles are very cool, there are plenty of options for stacking rings. You don’t have to go out and buy all new rings to stack them. Instead, look toward your plainer pieces. Think of how they might fit together.

Also, consider how thinner rings might fit with your statement pieces. Can you fit a plain ring under your favourite statement gemstone piece?

For example, our Riley Ring would work really well with one of our plainer styles, like the Classic Twist Stacker.
