Stacks are the New Black : Curating Your Collection

A well-executed stack of rings is a true thing of beauty. Every ring is a little sculpture that’s been infused with meaning and symbolism. Begin with one to three bands, then build your collection from there. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• --When you travel, be on the lookout for new additions to remind you of past adventures.
• --Engrave a band with a secret message like a song lyric, your baby's name or your own mantra.
• --When you achieve a goal, celebrate with a new ring as a reminder of your personal success.
• --Buy a matching band with your closest pal for an updated twist on the old best friends’ charm.

There is no right or wrong way to build your stack. We like to play around with textures and mixed metals to stand out from the crowd. There are no rules, this is all about you!  For guidance on curating a fabulous stack we consulted the experts at Single Stone. They gave us their four simple steps:

Step 1) START WITH SOMETHING SIMPLE

This handmade band of the most luxurious 22k gold feels incredible on your hand, as though you've discovered a treasure from another era.

Step 2) ADD SOME BLING

Take it to the next level. We went all out with this platinum eternity band of rose-cut diamonds. The milgrain detail surrounding each gem is meticulously done by hand and this will surely become a prized family heirloom.

Step 3)  CREATE TEXTURE

We chose this darling hand-engraved band. The warm glow of the 18k rose gold is a universally flattering tone. We’ll inscribe ours with a secret mantra, so when we need to be strong it reminds us to stay centered.

Step 4)  TOP OFF WITH EXTRA SPARKLE

No brainier. The icing on the cake is this delicate, twinkling eternity band. The detailed engraving on the edges is exquisite. It is the perfect finishing touch for our dream stack. What does yours look like? _______________________
