4. Silver Stacking Rings
Ring stacking (or layering) is a jewellery trend where people wear multiple rings on one finger. Often, people start with their bridal set, however, ring stacking does not have to include wedding rings. This trend has risen in popularity over the last decade and allows you to express your own personal style like never before.
Combine different colours, patterns, gemstone rings and styles to figure out which pieces work the best together. Usually, ring stacks only consist of two ' three rings paired together, this way the set is still comfortable to wear and not overly bulky. The benefit of stacking silver rings is that you can personalise and change your look each day!
