Stacked brilliance—the beauty of pairing multiple diamonds lies in their ability to amplify light, contrast shapes, and create an effortless harmony.

But stacking diamond rings isn’t just about adding sparkle; it’s about creating a composition that reflects your style and tells your story.

At Morgan & Co, we specialise in custom-made jewellery that allows you to curate a unique stack, blending different cuts, metals, and settings to achieve a timeless yet personal aesthetic. Whether you prefer a minimal, refined look or a bold, statement-worthy stack, the way you pair your rings can transform your entire style. Here’s how to master the art of stacking diamond rings.

1. Mixing Shapes for Depth and Contrast

The key to a visually interesting stack is contrast. Different diamond shapes bring unique elements to the design—a round brilliant cut adds classic sparkle, an emerald cut introduces sleek elegance, while a pear or marquise shape elongates the finger. A Toi et Moi ring, for example, pairs two different diamond cuts in a way that feels effortlessly balanced. When layered with a complementary shape, like a marquise solitaire, it enhances the dimension of the stack while keeping the focus on each diamond’s brilliance.

One trend we’ve seen at Morgan & Co, as Sunshine Coast jewellers, is the combination of oval-cut engagement rings with stacking bands featuring unique-shaped diamonds, such as baguettes or trillions. These combinations create a curated, high-fashion look while maintaining elegance and sophistication.

2. Playing with Proportions

A well-styled stack is all about balance. If you have a statement ring with a larger diamond, consider pairing it with a delicate band to let the centrepiece shine. Alternatively, a series of slim, diamond-studded bands can create a modern, layered effect. Mixing different band thicknesses helps add structure to the stack without overwhelming the look.

For those looking to customise their wedding stack, our team at Morgan & Co can design bespoke bands that complement your custom-made diamond engagement ring perfectly. Whether you want a subtle pavé band or something more intricate, we ensure that each piece enhances the beauty of your engagement ring while maintaining its individuality.

3. Mixing Metals for a Contemporary Touch

While traditional stacks stick to one metal tone, mixing metals—like platinum with yellow or rose gold—adds a contemporary edge. A warm rose gold band can soften a white diamond’s icy brilliance, while yellow gold brings out the depth in vintage-inspired cuts. The contrast between metals adds an extra layer of visual interest, making each ring stand out.

At Morgan & Co, we’ve noticed an increasing number of clients choosing two-tone engagement rings as a way to effortlessly blend different gold tones into their stack. A white gold setting with a yellow gold band, for example, allows for greater versatility when stacking, ensuring a cohesive yet striking look.

4. Layering with Texture and Detail

Beyond diamond shape and size, the texture of the bands plays a huge role in stacking. Engraved bands, pavé-set diamonds, or even a beaded edge can bring depth and personality to the stack. Alternating smooth, polished bands with detailed designs ensures the stack feels cohesive but not repetitive.

For those who love vintage-inspired pieces, we can create custom-made jewellery featuring milgrain detailing or filigree patterns, adding intricate texture while maintaining elegance. The smallest details can make the biggest impact, and incorporating texture is a perfect way to elevate your diamond ring stack.

5. Creating a Personal Story Through Stacking

Every ring tells a story, and a stacked collection is a reflection of your journey. Whether it’s combining an heirloom ring with a contemporary design or stacking pieces that symbolise milestones, each ring in your collection adds meaning to the overall look.

A Toi et Moi ring, symbolising two stones coming together, paired with a marquise solitaire, can represent individuality within unity—a modern take on timeless romance. Some of our clients at Morgan & Co have chosen to add a small hidden birthstone or engraving inside one of their stacking rings as a sentimental touch, making their custom-made diamond engagement ring even more meaningful.
