Style Guide: How to Build the Perfect Ring Stack
Ring stacking is when you layer up your rings, either on one or multiple fingers. You can add different textures, colors of metals, and curate your own signature jewellery style. Ring stacking is a perfect way to rotate your collection, and give your everyday pieces a different look for every occasion.
Here at La Vie Joaillier, we’re all about finding our own style and experimenting with different stacks. Whether it’s with ear piercings, necklace layering, or ring stacking – we’re always immersed in the creative process of new ways of styling.
Ring Stack Styling Tips:
1. Mix & Match Metals
An all-yellow, all-rose, or all-white gold stack is always chic, and is an easy way to play it safe. But if you are in for an adventure of mix and match, a foolproof way to pull off the look is by sticking to only two metals. Pick a dominant color, then incorporate 2-3 pieces of your second metal color throughout your stack.

2. Experiment with shape
Another way to add interest to your ring stack is by playing with different shapes. You can mix geometric shapes with organic ones or try stacking two rings with the same shape but different sizes. A great way to make your stack look more cohesive is by incorporating rings that have a common theme, such as a nature-inspired or vintage style.
3. Start small
If you’re new to stacking rings, it’s best to start with a small stack of two or three rings. This will give you a feel for how the rings sit on your fingers and help you get comfortable with the look. You can always add more rings as you get more confident. Remember, comfort is key.

4. Leave at least one finger bare
Piling on several rings can go from “just enough” to “too much” real quick, so an easy tip to avoid going overboard is to keep stacking on only four fingers at a time. Leaving at least one finger bare creates a more balanced and cohesive look, instead of an overwhelming one. Try keeping your pinky or thumb bare, but this one’s ultimately up to you.

5. Consider Proportions
When stacking rings, it’s important to consider the proportions of your hands and fingers. If you have small hands, try to stick to smaller rings that won’t overpower your fingers and make them visually shorter. On the other hand, if you have larger hands and longer fingers, you can experiment with bigger and chunkier rings and thicker stacks.
Create the perfect ring stack!
In conclusion, stacking rings is a fun and creative way to express your personal style. By mixing and matching different styles, shapes, and colors of metals, you can create a unique look that’s all your own. Just remember to start small, consider the proportions of your hands, and have fun! With these tips in mind, you’re sure to master the art of stacking in a fashion-forward way.
