Stacking Rings: A Guide to Mixing and Matching Silver Jewelry for Men
Building a stack of rings can be a fun and stylish addition to any man's jewelry collection. If you're looking to add some silver jewelry to your collection, here are some tips on how to mix and match your men's jewelry:
Start with a statement ring
Choose a bold statement ring as the centerpiece of your stack. This could be an engagement ring, family heirloom, or a cocktail ring with a large gem in the center. Let the statement ring shine on its own and avoid overcrowding it with other rings.
Incorporate midi rings
Midi rings, also known as knuckle rings, are small and add balance to your stack. They sit just above the knuckle and bring a delicate elegance to your hand. Aim to wear a maximum of 2 midi rings per hand, and pair them with a thicker statement ring or a stack of thin-banded rings.
Add an eternity ring
Eternity rings bring some sparkle to your stack. These are silver bands with continuous gemstones representing eternal love. You can stack a few eternity rings on one finger, or wear one with a thin midi ring higher up.
Wear several stacking rings
Stacking rings are thin and simple silver bands that look great in groups. Choose a collection of plain silver bands and more embellished twisted, beaded, or hammered bands. Arrange them on one or multiple fingers to create a visually appealing look.
Mix and match different metals
Create a dynamic look by pairing different-colored rings on one hand. Pair up gold, silver, and rose gold metals to make your hand more interesting. Avoid putting all like-colored rings on one hand and an entirely different metal on the other.
Use rings with neutral stones
Wear mainly neutral-toned stones to prevent color clashes. Ensure your ring collection has several neutral-toned pieces, and add pops of color if they all match.
Balance the rings like a triangle
Focus on your middle finger, stacking rings from heavy to light. Arrange the rings in an imaginary triangular shape, with fewer rings on the outer fingers and more on the middle finger.
Wear a range of styles and shapes
Create visual balance with a variety of rings, including statement rings, stacking rings, eternity rings, midi rings, and more. Mix and match different styles and shapes for a unique look.
Stack rings on both hands
Rings on both hands create more balance, so you don't look lopsided. When you stack rings, ensure you have enough to put a few on each hand. A large number of rings on one hand and zero on the other can result in a jarring and unbalanced effect, whereas a similar (moderate) number of rings looks harmonized—no matter how many different styles and metals you incorporate!
Keep one finger empty
With so many rings on your hands, steer clear of overloading on jewelry. When you go to the trouble of stacking rings, you want them to shine, right? To that end, allow your rings to be the star of the show by saving bracelets for another day. If you have to wear a bracelet, go for something thin and delicate, so it doesn't compete with the rings
By following these tips, you can create a dynamic and stylish stack of rings that shows off your personal style and showcases your love of silver jewelry.
