If you thought stacking was just for your wrists, think again. Instead of buying your engagement ring and wedding bands separately, say yes to a wedding ring set. These typically include three matching rings: an engagement ring, plus the couple’s individual wedding bands. A cohesive set can be seen as a marker of unity and a symbol of a couple’s commitment to each other.
“When chosen purposefully, it serves as a great metaphor for equality and your new life together,” says Payal Shah, the founder of L' Dezen. “It’s a sign that this is not just another jewelry piece you own.” In addition to Shah, we consulted industry expert Lorraine Brantner, a sales manager for James Allen, to learn more about what you should know before creating your very own bridal stack.
These are rings you will be wearing every day for the rest of your life, so it’s important that the design and colors reflect your personality. Invest time in your research—whether you’re buying a ready set or customizing it—to keep any unpleasant surprises at bay. Celebrities' ring stacks are a great source of inspiration. For example, Carrie Underwood wears a curved band that complements the engagement ring's center stone.
If you are choosing rings with unique profiles, which require a curved band, have the rings made at the same time. Otherwise, you may have to return your engagement ring to the jeweler for the perfect fit.
Shah suggests playing with proportions for an interesting look: “Mixing shapes promises a visual appeal. Certain center tops with a wedding band style may not look elegant. So your engagement ring could be a semi-mount, set with a loose diamond of your choice.”

What to Look for When Choosing a Wedding Ring Set
Metal
The metal selection is an important part of your decision, as this aspect determines the overall look of your stack. Do you want to create an elegant and cohesive look? Or are you seeking a contrasting set that makes a statement? "Unless you are purposely mixing metal colors—white, rose, or yellow—it is best to keep your alloys the same. While platinum and white gold look the same brand new, over time they will show their differences with wear," warns Brantner.
Band
Many brides are searching for a wedding band that sits snug against their engagement ring, which is known as "flush fit." "If this is something that is important to you, make sure you are selecting an engagement ring with an elevated head assembly to allow the wedding band to fit snugly," says Brantner.
Style
One of the very best parts of creating your bridal stack is the wide range of designs and styles there are to choose from. Ultimately, there is no wrong or right choice. Select the pieces that align with your personal style and lifestyle. "There is a lot of freedom in creating your unique bridal stack! Mixing metals, side-stone shapes, and adding texture with milgrain detailing allows you to appreciate each ring individually," Brantner explains.
FAQs
- Do the metals have to match? "No—you can mix yellow and white gold or platinum and rose gold. However, it is recommended to only stick with one white metal in your set, as over time white gold and platinum age differently," says Brantner. Shah cautions that different-strength metals could end up scratching each other if one's stronger than the other.
- How can I ensure that my wedding band complements my engagement ring? "Try on various styles to see what you like most with your engagement ring and on its own," Brantner recommends. "There may be times in which you would prefer to just wear your band, and you should like it individually!"
- What are the most durable metals to select for my wedding ring set? Shah says 18k gold is a sound investment because it's flexible and has a stronger alloy to keep the prongs in place. Platinum is ideal if you are not setting in any diamonds or mixing metals. Since it doesn’t change color, your band will not dull down over time.
