How To: Bridal Stack
Welcome to the Clear Cut Classroom, where we take deep dives into all things diamonds and jewelry! Creating the perfect bridal stack is a simple step away. We love this key bridal band style to accompany your beloved engagement ring and wedding band. Protect your diamond stack and prolong the beautiful memories you cherish with a spacer band! Read more about our favorite types of spacer bands below!
We all want our gorgeous engagement ring and wedding band paired perfectly next to one another on the finger. But. . . we need a thoughtful combination for these precious pieces. Because who doesn't love wearing their band and ring together?! It's beautiful to admire and feels amazing to wear with pride! However, with everyday wear you can put your metals and diamonds at risk of damage from friction.
What's the solution? Add a spacer band to your stack!
And what's a spacer band? It's a third band that goes sandwiched in the middle between your engagement ring and wedding band. The spacer band acts as a protective barrier for your two rings. This is especially great for your eternity diamond band with larger set stones. A spacer band comes to save the worry and damage, keeping your engagement ring prongs far from your band, aka no scratching or nicks on the metal or stones!
You have plenty of style options when it comes to spacer bands, creating a beautiful variety on your finger. Play around with color, texture, twists or beads to add refined details. Keep the look interesting! For a modern look, add a thicker spacer band. This has been a super popular choice with some of today's brides and we love to see it.
Here are some of our personal favorites that we recommend:
1. The Super Skinny Twisted Band
We love this band because of the simple, wearable texture it brings while not overpowering the beauty of your e-ring and wedding band! This adds delicate separation from the smooth metal look.
2. The Beaded Band
The Beaded Band is a fun, playful choice. This band adds a bubbly accent, drawing your eye to its texture. Choose this band in a different color metal to really switch up your look.
3. The Wave Band
The Wave Band has dainty diamonds set throughout the "bones" of the band. It's a really organic look and creates a defined shape in between your two rings. We love it so much, even worn on its own.
4. The Burnished Diamond Band
The Burnished Diamond Band is the band of the moment. The burnished diamonds scattered throughout the thickness of the band creates a soft glitz that will perfectly complement your two other bands. Choose from yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, platinum and even choose to add your birthstone!
5. The Super Skinny Classic Band
And last but not least, the Super Skinny Classic Band. A simple design, perfect for everyday wear and keeping the attention on your other two pieces, you can't go wrong with a Super Skinny Classic Band for your spacer!
Spacer bands are a great addition to your stack, creating more dimension and new opportunity to elevate your style! Did we mention that for some of these bands, they are a great reason to get an engravement? A spacer band could be your next anniversary gift too! It never hurts to go a step further to protect the beauty and memories of your jewelry with this simple trick.
