Western Edit — Rings

Stackable bands, zircon solitaires and minimal gold-plated rings — most of them free size and adjustable.

Contemporary rings for everyday wear: slim stacking bands meant to be worn two or three at a time, zircon and solitaire-style rings that read as fine jewellery without the price, pearl rings for something softer, and sculptural open bands with a bit more architecture to them.

How to stack rings

Two or three bands on one finger looks deliberate. Four starts to look accidental. Keep one metal tone throughout and vary the width instead — a slim plain band next to a slightly wider textured one creates contrast without noise. Leave the neighbouring fingers bare so the stack has room, and if one ring in the group has a stone, let the others be plain.

Free size, explained

Most rings here are adjustable: the band is open at the back so you can widen or narrow it by hand, covering roughly size 6 to size 10. Adjust gently and always from the open end — never bend the front where the stone sits. Done carefully it will hold its shape indefinitely, which is why free size is the safest way to buy rings online.
