That’s because platinum wedding rings are known for their fantastic color, sturdiness, purity and timelessness.

These dainty, layered rings offer diversity in statements. Sparkle-lovers will love the glitzy bands and those a little more daring can mix in varying precious metals to add a colourful element.
If you don’t want to wear your engagement ring everyday, stacked bands offer a great way to keep a little excitement on your ring finger. Even if you lean a little to the traditional, there are many simple options to make a glorious statement. If you’ve always wanted to wear a matching band with your partner, adding a slim band to layers will help soften the look.
Stackable wedding rings have been a long-time celebrity favourite. I fell in love with the trend the first time I saw Kate Beckinsale’s set. And don’t even get me started on that gigantic, east-west emerald diamond on the wee pavé band.
Stackable rings can also be a long-term commitment. The collection can grow over time through wedding anniversaries, the birth of children or just because you love them. The stacking trend isn’t limited to your ring finger.
If you opt to go without the engagement ring, and if you’re tight on a budget, stacked wedding rings are a great way to save money without having to buy a large centre stone.
