If you want to take this a step further, you can combine different metals and colours. You could wear a gold ring on the same finger as your silver and platinum ones. The trick is to have continuity, so make sure to put a middle piece in-between to create a smooth transition. For example, you could wear a silver ring at the base of your finger followed by a textured gold ring containing both white and yellow gold. On top of it, a yellow gold ring would close the look. The middle piece has the purpose to tie your jewelry together.
For a rather elegant and romantic look, you could wear an art deco ring with two simple bands of the same metal. If you want to wear a chunky piece, make sure that the other two rings are simple and not statement ones.
It is also important to consider the setting of the ring. Solitaire, cathedral or bezel settings often don’t look as nice with other rings designed with the same or a similar setting. Usually, a ring that contains a centerpiece nicely blends with rings containing stones in paving or channel settings - or just a plain band. However, there are certain settings made to be stacked and look great with similar settings. Such as our Stack Collection.
This might shift the focus from your rings and subsequently away from your hands. So, rather add some lovely earrings and necklaces to your outfit. Necklaces follow similar stacking rules as rings by the way - we'll save this topic for another blog post though.To sum it up, forget the bracelets when wearing stacked rings and focus on your earrings or necklace. This way, you create an interesting balance of focused jewelry.
At the end of the day, stacking rings is not about matching them perfectly or have a hand full of rings. It's about finding the right balance that raises the eyebrow of someone else for justthe right reasons. Always remember to find a common element and leave some space between your rings to keep a nice balance between metal and skin and you're good to go.
