When it comes to jewelry, few trends have captured the imagination (and fingers!) of style lovers quite like stacking rings. Whether you’re layering dainty bands, mixing metals, or investing in designer-linked styles, stacking rings allow for endless creativity. You can express your personality, mood, and even commemorate special moments—all from your fingertips.
Today, we’re diving into the hottest stacking ring trends, from classic hammered bands to the glamorous linked rings pioneered by designers like Spinelli Kilcollin. Plus, we’ll show you how you can create your own perfect stack at Silverwork Studios!
Linked Rings: A Luxe Look
One of the standout stacking trends in recent years is the linked ring style, popularized by designers like Spinelli Kilcollin. These rings feature multiple bands—often in different metals—physically connected by tiny, chic links. Some are designed to be worn spread across multiple fingers, while others cluster elegantly on one.
The beauty of linked rings lies in their fluidity: the rings move slightly as you wear them, creating a dynamic, eye-catching effect. Whether you opt for a minimalist all-gold trio or a mixed-metal statement piece set with diamonds, linked rings offer an edgy yet sophisticated take on stacking.
If you love this concept but want something truly personal, Silverwork Studios gives you the chance to craft your own linked-style rings. Mix metals, add textures, or even include a gemstone for a completely unique piece.
While these rings cost thousands of dollars from the designer - create your own with sterling silver and / or 14k gold fill starting at just $155.

Dainty Gemstone Bands
If subtle sparkle is more your style, dainty gemstone bands are a must for your stack. These delicate rings typically feature small stones set into thin gold fill or silver bands.
They’re perfect for layering because they add just the right amount of color and shimmer without overwhelming the look. Plus, dainty gemstone rings can be highly symbolic. Many people choose stones with personal meaning, such as birthstones or gems associated with special memories.

Stack two or three thin gemstone bands together, or intersperse them between plain metal rings for a more varied texture. At Silverwork Studios, you can design a dainty gemstone ring that's as unique as you are, selecting the perfect stone and setting for your vision.
Mixing Metals: Gold and Silver Together
Gone are the days when you had to choose between gold and silver jewelry. One of the boldest stacking ring trends today is mixing metals within a single stack—or even within a single piece!
A curated ring stack that blends yellow gold fill and sterling silver looks effortless and contemporary. Mixing metals gives your jewelry a lived-in, worldly vibe and ensures that your stack will pair beautifully with whatever other accessories you’re wearing.
At Silverwork Studios, you can combine gold and silver bands into a single custom stack, or create a few complementary pieces that blend your favorite hues.
Wave Rings: Fluid, Soldered Stacks
Another trend making waves (pun intended) is the wave ring—sets of 3-5 bands that are soldered together and shaped into soft, flowing curves. These rings give the illusion of a perfect stack, without the worry of individual rings spinning or misaligning throughout the day.

Wave rings are incredibly comfortable to wear and offer a sleek, cohesive look. Some designs are simple and elegant; others feature slight twists or textured details to add more dimension.
Interested in crafting your own soldered wave ring? Silverwork Studios offers workshops and custom sessions where you can solder multiple bands together and shape them to your perfect wave. Please note that 5 band making sessions are only available as part of our In Depth Making sessions here, as it requires more time.

Hammered Bands: Textural Beauty
Last but certainly not least, hammered bands are a timeless stacking favorite. The gently uneven surface of a hammered ring catches the light beautifully, adding subtle sparkle and organic texture to your stack.

Hammered bands are especially great for stacking because they balance polished and matte finishes, creating depth without looking overly "designed." They’re also incredibly durable—perfect for everyday wear.

At Silverwork Studios, you can hand-hammer your own band to create a piece that's uniquely yours. Choose your metal, width, and hammering style (tight, small dimples or larger, broad hits) for a ring that's rich with artisanal character.
Tips for Building Your Perfect Stack
- Start Simple: Begin with 3-5 rings in complementary styles and metals.
- Vary Widths: Mix skinny bands with thicker rings to create visual rhythm.
- Add Texture: Include at least one hammered or twisted band for dimension.
- Pop of Color: A small gemstone or enamel detail can bring a stack to life.
- Play with Symmetry: You can stack symmetrically on both hands—or keep it organic with different stacks on each.
