5 Rings to Refresh Your Wedding Stack | GLDN

Written by GLDN Team — May 31, 2025

The wedding ring stack: one of the most meaningful jewelry stacks you’ll ever wear. While some spouses opt for a wedding band on its own and others sport a wedding-band-engagement-ring combo, wedding ring stacks aren’t meant to be static. They can change. You can add to them over time. You should continue telling your love story over the years! The only constant in a relationship (or anything, really) is change—and change deserves to be celebrated, too.

We believe credit is due where credit is due, so we’d like to thank our community for this journal idea. We’re so inspired by the ways you all build your personal wedding stacks in ways we’d truly never thought of before. It’s fresh and modern and fun, and you’ve inspired our own team to add new rings to theirs.

Without further ado: the five rings to add to your wedding stack—plus tips for choosing the right ring for you.

1) A Sparkly Stacking Ring

Think of this like a swipe of highlighter or a touch of lipgloss for your wedding ring; something that brings out its shine and draws attention to it without stealing the show. Small, sparkly stacking rings are the easiest ways to elevate the natural beauty of your wedding ring or wedding band.

Opt for a glowy white sapphire ring (most of which clock in under $100!) or invest in diamonds to wear forever. There’s no wrong way to wear a dainty gemstone ring with your wedding stack—wear it on top to frame your ring, below your wedding band for contrast or switch it up from day to day. It’s such a sweet, simple way to refresh your wedding stack and show it some love throughout the years.

Our favorite stackers to pair with your wedding ring:

Dewdrop Arch Ring (with a subtle curve)
Starscape Diamond Ring (made with lab-grown diamonds)
Eclipse White Sapphire Ring (double-banded for extra texture)

2) An Olive Branch Ring

For centuries, the olive branch has symbolized peace, hope, courage and forgiveness—the cornerstones of any long-lasting relationship (and, for many of us, something to constantly work towards). Of all the symbolic rings in our collection, there’s none we love more for wedding ring stacks than the olive branch. It feels inherently romantic and meaningful, like it was made to celebrate marriages in particular.

Have your Olive Branch Band personalized with your first initial or last initial (if you and your spouse have the same last name), or opt for our slightly bolder Olive Branch Meuse Band. Whether you’ve been together for three years or thirty, adding an olive branch ring to your wedding stack is the jewelry equivalent of renewing your vows and re-committing to each other. It’s a promise to keep choosing each other day after day (that looks elegant and timeless at the same time).

3) A Subtle Birthstone Ring

Sometimes, what a wedding ring stack needs most is a tiny pop of color. Just a little bit of contrast to take it over the top. Nontraditional wedding rings are popping off as of late (hello, sapphires and emeralds!) and this is an easy way to try out that trend without fully straying from the traditional diamond ring.

Choose your birthstone, your partner’s birthstone or your child’s birthstone (if you’re at that point in the relationship) or simply choose a color that speaks to you on a soul level. Dig up your wedding photos and pull a color from your wedding that captures the day. Or, if you can’t decide on one, stack up a few colors—these rings were literally designed for that. We spent an entire year choosing subtle, modern birthstone shades that stray from the bright, bold birthstones of yore. The result? Birthstones that stack together harmoniously, match every gemstone in your collection and are muted enough to wear 24/7.

4) A Modern Signet Ring

These ain’t your grandpa’s signets. We reimagined signet rings in dainty, streamlined silhouettes you can actually stack with other rings. Adding a tiny signet ring to your wedding stack instantly modernizes it and gives it a fresh, right-now feel…but still feels timeless thanks to the signet’s forever appeal.

Add your last initial, the first initial of your partner or opt for a signet ring with a tiny symbol—something that sums up your relationship in the daintiest way. We love throwing a signet onto our wedding ring stacks to make it feel a bit more casual and effortless, like jeans and a plain white tee.

5) A Custom Band

Last but certainly not least: a dainty custom band that truly represents your love story. Add your last name, the date you two met, the date of your wedding, or a word that sums up your relationship. These are only a few ideas, of course, and our custom rings are your canvas to dream up whatever you want (within our character limits, of course 😉).

While we love wearing these with your wedding stack (it’s only the entire theme of this journal!), we also love these bands as thumb rings or pinky rings…especially if you’re already wearing a similar wedding band.

When to Add to Your Wedding Ring Stack

While there’s no need for a special occasion—your love is special enough as is—adding to your wedding ring stack is a fun, collaborative way to celebrate your relationship as one. Pick out rings together to honor your next anniversary or milestone…or surprise each other just because.

Our favorite occasions to add to your wedding stack:

Celebrating a big anniversary
Welcoming a new child to the world
Marking a big relationship milestone
Getting through a difficult time
Traveling (use these rings as travel bands!)

Cheers to the years,

Team GLDN 🥂
