The term "stackable rings" has been thrown around a lot since quite a while. Have you been wondering what they are and how to make sure you get them right? Basically, stackable rings are so called because they are rings that are worn together one top of the other (stacked) on the same finger giving them their apt name.

Although any type of rings worn together may be thought of as "stackable rings", there are certain pointers you might like to keep in mind while accessorizing. Like in normal rings, stackable rings are available in almost any type of material available and there are many choices to chose from- yellow gold, white gold, gold set with diamonds, rose gold set with diamonds, sterling silver, platinum, rings set with your sapphires and emeralds and rings with your birth stone.

Stacking the ring together makes a set. Though each set has a different style depending on the rings you chose, it is always advisable to keep the rings thin so that when you stack more than 2 or 3 rings together, you don't face any problems with bending your fingers. If it feels like its too wide for you and you feel uncomfortable, there is no point in wearing that particular set. The ring should not so thin that it becomes so delicate that it breaks, so try and keep it around 2 mm or 3 mm width max.

While making a set, don't hesitate to experiment. Don't stick the similar styles or colors together. A varied combination may just bring out the best in every ring. Mixing different gem stones and metals will give you endless combinations and you can create great styles that show off your hands.

The price of stackable rings ranges from under 3$ to well over 14,000$ per ring depending on the nature of the ring. The prices vary according to the metal used, size and width, design and stone settings and other such factors as well as the number of rings used to make up your "stack"

The type of rings you stack together is also an important factor in the final outcome. Stackable rings give a graceful look when they are flat and the designs don't have any gap in between them. The designs on the bands vary from plain bands to those with pretty little flowers and those with your favorite gemstone. Your jeweler would be able to enlighten you on a lot more designs that are available.
