Create a Ring Stack
Alex Monroe rings are splendid for stacking! Whether pre-planned or gradually added over time, be sure to have fun with your ring collection - we love stacking up, creating, and combining. Take a look at our guide to stacking rings and experiment with your most loved Alex Monroe pieces.
Stacking Rings
As the name suggests, some rings are simply made to be stacked!
We always design our rings so that they can be worn alone, but they work equally well built into a stack with other pieces from our collection. Mix themes or metals to create your own unique composition.

Signet Rings
Signet rings have a fascinating history, dating back to Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs. In more recent times, signet rings were worn only by men and were symbolic of rank, family heritage and social position - being passed down through generations of families.
Alex Monroe signet rings offer a more modern twist on this classic style of ring, and although we love a ‘pinky’ ring - they can be worn on any finger you choose!
Our Top 5 Tips
Ring stacks have been a big trend for many years now, but how you do it is totally up to you! Create a subtle statement, tell a story, mismatch metals or simply stack them up on your finger when you can’t decide which to wear!
Be aware that ‘Pinky’ rings or those worn on your little finger will encounter a lot more knocks and scrapes than any of your other rings - often without you realising! If this might be a concern, ensure you opt for an ‘inner’ finger with our polished styles.
If knowing where to start feels tricky, our biggest tip is simply to start with a ring that you love and build up your stack over time.
Delicate rings are a great way of mixing, or introducing a different colour metal to your ring stack. We often suggest this for people who have white gold wedding and engagement rings but want to start wearing yellow gold - or vice versa. Our mixed metal styles are also a great way of bridging the gap between white and yellow metals.
Rings with a larger central focus are perhaps best worn on their own, to really let the design shine. But if you want to try a more maximalist look, we suggest pairing it with a stack of more delicate rings on a different finger.
Statement Rings
Our larger rings have been designed to wear solo - often embodying the particular theme of a collection.
To make an even bigger statement, you can of course combine them with rings or stacks on other fingers, and create a look reflective of your own personal style.
