A ring stack is more than a styling choice — it’s a layered story, built over time. From your bespoke engagement ring to a wedding band and milestone additions, stacking your rings offers the chance to wear your memories, values, and personality on your hand. At Sophia Perez Jewellery, we believe every piece you wear should feel intentional and deeply personal — and your stack is no exception.

Whether you’re starting with a handcrafted solitaire or building around a one-of-a-kind teal sapphire, here’s how to create a modern engagement and wedding ring set that feels uniquely yours.

Start With the Centrepiece

Your engagement ring sets the tone for the entire stack. It’s often the most expressive piece — whether you’ve chosen a timeless solitaire, a salt and pepper diamond with rich inclusions, or a colourful gemstone like teal or green sapphire. This is your foundation.

Think about:

• Setting height: A low-set engagement ring allows bands to sit flush, while a high-set style gives space for more design contrast.
• Shape and cut: Pear, marquise, emerald, and round all influence how bands will frame the ring.

• Stone choice: From salt and pepper diamonds to lab-grown diamonds and coloured gemstones, each offers its own mood and visual texture.

Your custom engagement ring doesn’t need to follow a rulebook. What matters most is how it feels — on your hand, and in your heart.

Find a Wedding Band That Complements, Not Competes

Next comes your wedding band — a symbol of commitment, designed to sit beautifully beside your engagement ring without overshadowing it. Choosing a bespoke wedding band allows you to customise the shape, metal tone, and finish to pair perfectly with your centrepiece.

Things to consider:

• Shape: A contoured or curved band hugs asymmetrical stones or low-profile settings, while a straight band gives clean contrast.

• Metal: Whether you love the warmth of 18ct yellow gold, the blush tone of rose gold, or the cool strength of platinum, your metals can match or mix.

• Details: Pavé diamonds, textured finishes, and mixed ethical gemstones add personal flair.

There’s no right or wrong. Just balance — visual and emotional.

 

Add Meaning With Milestone Bands

Some SPJ clients return years later to add a new band — a quiet way to mark a personal moment.

• A champagne diamond band to celebrate a wedding anniversary

• A green or teal sapphire to honour a birth month

• A slim gold band to symbolise a new chapter

This is the beauty of bespoke jewellery — it evolves with you. Over time, your ring stack becomes a wearable archive of the moments that matter.

 

Play With Contrast

We love a stack that tells a layered story. And sometimes, contrast speaks louder than symmetry. Here’s how to mix with intention:

• Shape: Try pairing bold cuts (like an emerald centre stone) with fine, minimalist bands.

• Stone: Combine salt and pepper diamonds, cognac tones, or deep blue sapphires with classic diamonds for depth and personality.

• Metal: Mix rose gold, yellow gold, and platinum for dimension.

Modern love doesn’t have to look traditional — and modern engagement rings are increasingly defined by individuality.

 

Practical Design Tips From the SPJ Studio

A beautiful stack is one thing — but it also needs to feel good. Here are a few studio-approved guidelines:

• Leave breathing space: Don’t overcrowd — let each ring shine.

• Try on as you go: Some combinations work better on the hand than on paper.

• Prioritise comfort: Make sure the bands sit well and suit your daily lifestyle.

• Think long-term: Leave room for your story to unfold — emotionally and physically.

Your ring set should evolve, just like your journey.
