Traditionally, wedding ring sets include the engagement ring you got during a proposal, and the wedding band exchanged on your big day. Today, adding several stackable wedding bands is a fun way to add personality to your set, and to update your engagement ring if it starts feeling like you want something new.
Stackable wedding bands are thin bands that easily stack on top of each other to create an eye-catching design. Sometimes they interlock and sometimes they don't, depending on the look you're going for. The options for stackable bands are endless: you can alternate between luxe bands sparkling with diamonds and more plain ones, or you can go for maximum impact with colored gemstones and interesting detailing.
Mixing and matching stackable bands is part of the fun of buying them, so you should feel free to get creative and versatile. Oh, and be sure to send our favorites below to your partner as a hint: these also happen to make great anniversary gifts!
This chic band is both classic and stylish, with a white enamel around the outside and underside that makes it stand out just enough. A row of brilliant-cut diamonds completes the look.
Add a touch of whimsy to your look with this sweet band. It features tiny puffy hearts between sparkling diamonds, and is available in yellow or rose gold.

The wave-inspired shape of this band is so cool and unique. We love how the baguette diamonds look with rose gold, but you can choose another metal if you prefer.
Add texture to your ring stack with this engraved yellow gold ring. Tiny engraved flowers and other special details make this feel like a standout piece even without any gemstones.

The simplicity of this thin band is exactly why we love it. Tiny diamonds wrap all the way around this one for a classic look.
Adding one uniquely shaped ring to your stack is a great way to make the look less structured and more fun. This honeycomb ring is a perfect way to do exactly that.
The curved shape of this simple band will fit nicely with the center stone of most engagement rings and gives almost a crown-like look. The ombré set of champagne diamonds is a beautiful touch.
The name "Dot Dash" for this ring makes perfect sense since it features a continuous row of princess, round, and baguette-cut diamonds. This is a unique pattern with lots of sparkle!
If you want a band without gemstones, this is a beautiful choice. The hexagon design that wraps around the whole band is so fun to look at.
Go for something feminine and delicate with this Jared ring. The thin, round-cut band sparkles with small diamonds, and the teeny tiny bow is a unique touch.
This ring is minimalist and elegant, with a super tiny Asscher diamond on a very thin gold band. It's smaller than you think, but would look nice against a wider band.
Another simple option, this dainty ring features a small center baguette stone with pavé diamonds along the band. It's perfect for mixing and matching.
We love the subtle details of this tiny ring that make it look so lovely in a stack. Little studs spaced between small diamonds makes it interesting from all angles.

This classic arc band is perfect with your engagement ring, especially with a center cut diamond in something like a pear or oval shape. It features a small bezel-set diamond with soft hammer detail.
This twist ring features two intertwined bands, one sparkling with pavé diamonds and one of solid platinum. You can also get it in platinum, rose gold, white gold, and yellow gold.
Building the perfect wedding ring stack might take you a few years, but that's part of the fun. Here's what to look for when buying or picking out bands.
You should have at least one simple band that balances out anything more elaborate and sparkly as your base. This could be a super plain metal band or something very thin and dainty.
Don't feel like you have to stick to just one metal or just one gemstone type. In fact, mixing things up makes your stack look much more appealing. Mixed metals feel trendy and modern, and throwing in different shaped stones looks cool.
You want to make sure at least one band fits perfectly with your engagement ring so that everything ends up meshing together. This might mean choosing a curved band.
There really is no limit to how many stackable wedding bands you can wear—choose whatever is most comfortable for you. Most wedding ring stacks include an engagement ring, wedding band, and at least one additional band, but we say the more the merrier!
Of course! Don't be afraid to mix it up by adding colored gemstones like sapphires or rubies, even if you have a classic diamond engagement ring.
