Stackable and eternity rings
Guide to stackable rings (thin, for combining) and eternity rings (stones around the band): how to combine them, what size to choose and which metals mix well.
Stackable rings are thin bands worn together to create a set. Eternity rings have stones all around the band and are a classic for anniversaries.
How to stack #
Combine two to five bands of different thickness. Mix plain ones with stone rings and keep one dominant metal. A wider band in the center gives balance.
Eternity rings #
They can have stones all around (full eternity) or halfway (half eternity). Half ones are more comfortable and can be resized.
Size #
If you stack several, you may need half a size larger. See how to find your size.
Materials #
14-18K gold, 925 silver and rose gold are the most used. Avoid mixing very different finishes (polished and hammered) if you want a discreet set.
