Stacking diamond bands
Diamond bands are the easiest way to add sparkle to a stack. A pavé band has small diamonds set close together across the top. A half-eternity band has stones on the top part of the ring, and a full eternity band has stones all the way around. Thin versions of each sit well next to a plain band.
Stones need room. When two diamond bands sit side by side, the stones can rub against each other, and over time that can wear the metal. A plain band between two stone bands gives each one space. Look at how each band is set, too. A low, flat setting sits closer to its neighbor than a band with raised prongs.
Our guide to the types of wedding rings explains how each style is built. If you like stones all the way around, browse our eternity bands. A full eternity band is hard to resize, so be sure of your ring size before you choose one.
Building a stack around your engagement ring
Start with the engagement ring you wear now and build out from it. Many people add one band below it and one above, then add more later. A new band for each anniversary is a common way to grow a stack over the years.
Mixing metals is a style choice, and it works. Yellow, white and rose gold look good together. Pick the widths first, then the metals, so the stack looks even from one ring to the next. A band that looks plain on its own often looks right once it sits beside a diamond band.
Shape matters, too. A three-stone engagement ring has a wide top, so a straight band can leave a gap beside it. A curved band sits flush against the stones. See our ring guards for curved bands made to sit against an engagement ring. Our guide on how to choose a wedding band covers width, metal and comfort.
