Excessive rings and bracelets are the name of the game, and the more-is-more approach to jewelry is not going anywhere. Stacking delicate gold rings next to a chunky cuff is the easiest way to make a simple outfit look styled. The trick is mixing weights: a slim stacking ring beside a bold band, a gemstone beaded bracelet against a polished bangle. Below are the rings and bracelets worth stacking right now, from under-$100 staples to one solid-gold piece worth saving for. Shop every pick in the full rings and bracelets edit.

The Best Rings and Bracelets Under $150

Start here. These are the five picks our readers reach for first, all under $150. Prices are current as of today and can change.

Why these five: the Lou is the ring shoppers buy in multiples because the dome shape stacks flush against an engagement ring or a plain band. The Astrid & Miyu band is the piece reviewers describe wearing every single day without taking off. The Elton cuff is the brand’s most gifted bracelet, and the light blue stone breaks up an all-gold stack. The Carly is pavé, which reads expensive in photos, and the Missoma beads are the color pop a wrist stack needs.

More Rings and Bracelets We Love

The Mejuri makes the slim 14k gold stacking ring that is the white tee of rings: solid gold, so it never turns, and slim enough to wear three at a time. The slightly wider gold band from Ana Luisa is the option if you want one ring to read as a stack on its own. The hinged gold bracelet from Jenny Bird is the one celebrities keep getting photographed in; the hinged shape slides on without a clasp fight, and it is waterproof, so it survives the gym and the pool. For a waterproof ring to match, the waterproof gold ring from Hey Harper is the one travelers pack for beach trips.

The solid gold infinity charm bracelet from Astrid & Miyu is the aspiration piece: a slim infinity chain you add charms to over time, which makes it the gift that keeps giving on every birthday after. The super fine gold chain bracelet from Monica Vinader is the quiet-luxury answer, barely there on its own and the perfect base layer under a cuff. The pearl and leather bracelet from Chan Luu softens a metal-heavy stack, and the personalized initial bracelet from Gorjana is the one shoppers buy with their own initial, then again as gifts. If color is the goal, the colorful beaded bracelet from Roxanne Assoulin is the happy one editors wear with everything gray.

How to Stack Rings and Bracelets

The formula stylists use is three textures per wrist and per hand: something smooth, something beaded or pearled, something with stones. Keep rings to one chunky band per hand and let the rest be thin stacking rings. On the wrist, anchor with your largest cuff closest to the hand and taper to finer chains up the arm. Mixing gold and silver rings and bracelets reads intentional when you repeat each metal at least twice.

FAQ: Rings and Bracelets

How many rings and bracelets should you wear together?
Three to five bracelets per wrist and up to four rings across both hands is the sweet spot. The excessive look works when pieces vary in weight, not when they match.

Can you mix gold and silver rings and bracelets?
Yes. Repeat each metal at least twice so the mix looks deliberate, and let one metal lead.

What rings and bracelets are in style right now?
Chunky cuffs, beaded and pearl bracelets, slim stacking rings in solid gold, and one personalized piece like an initial bracelet.

How do you keep stacking rings from tarnishing?
Choose solid gold or waterproof plated pieces for daily wear and take plated rings off for the pool unless they are rated waterproof.
