Use a Statement Ring as a focal point for your stack
The focal point can be a Statement ring or one with a unique design that captures attention.
Then, around the centerpiece, you can place your complementary rings in size proportion to create balance.
Layering with different sizes and proportions
Be guided by the sizes and proportions.
Try and vary the widths and thicknesses of the bands to make a visually attractive composition. Thus you will have a mixture of thin and thicker rings but in proportion.
A balanced or eclectic look?
If you are a person that likes a more balanced look you will want to place identical size rings on either side of your focal point.
For a more extravagant look, you might want to combine rings of different sizes, shapes, and styles for a dynamic style.
Want to show off your complexity?
Mixing and matching styles and textures will add visual interest to your ring stack. This can be achieved by combining delicate rings with chunkier ones so you create some kind of contrast.
Consider mixing different types of metal and gemstones to create a complex look.
Different combinations of ring shapes will also add interest to your ring stacking.
Alternatively, you could wear rings with different textures such as hammered, smooth, or twisted bands to create a varied look.
How to coordinate the color of your ring stacking
Take into account the colors of the gemstones as well as the metals. You can opt for a monochromatic color scheme to create a cohesive look. For example, the metals could be all silver or all gold.
