One of many beautiful things of being a human is that we have been blessed with ten toes and ten fingers.
Why is this worth mentioning? Because we are a jewelry brand and you are reading a blogpost about rings. A ring party to be precise.
Like any get together or party there is one ‘rule of thumb’ (or pick a finger of your choice): the more, the merrier. Because: the greater the variety of stones and materials, the bigger the creativity.
Today we are opting for colors
Color theory is a crucial aspect of art, design, and everyday life, influencing our emotions, perceptions, and actions in profound ways. Understanding colors and their language not only enhances creativity but also allows for more effective communication through visual mediums. Colors evoke specific emotions and reactions and come with specific associations, which is what we want to play with right now.
Jewelry has always been a reflection of personal style, and one of the most delightful ways to express this is through the art of ring stacking. While stacking rings is an excellent way to showcase creativity and flair, the colors of the gemstones you choose can add a deeper layer of meaning and sophistication to your ensemble and have a potential impact not only on your energy and spirit, but also your mood.
PINKS & REDS – Love, Compassion, Passion & Energy
Reds and Pinks are heart-centred colors. Red represents passion, energy, and action and can stimulate energy and draw attention. It's a bold color that signifies strength and determination. Pink is often associated with love, compassion, and nurturing. It evokes feelings of warmth and tenderness, making it a perfect choice for anyone who wants to carry a reminder of love with them.
Stones we love: Pink Tourmaline, Garnet, Rose Quartz and Morganite.
Styling tips: Combine all the reds and pinks with one another to create striking contrasts and different harmonies. Or pair pinks only, such as Rose Quartz and Morganite to enhance the feeling of unconditional love and heart opening.
Stacking various shades of pink with clear or white stones can create a harmonious blend that exudes elegance.
If you have a large red gemstone like a pink tourmaline or garnet make it the center of your stack to let it pop.
BLUE – Calmness and Wisdom
Blue is a color that symbolizes calm, wisdom, and serenity. It is often associated with depth and stability. One may think of the ocean in all its shades and facets.
Aquamarine is one of our favourite blue stones which reflects oceanic energy that brings about truth, clarity and courage to speak what rings true to you.
Styling tips: Stack blue gemstones such as aquamarines and blue topaz for an ocean-inspired feel and look. Combine different shapes of blue gemstones with one another to add an interesting layer to it.
Blues go well with the shimmering effects of Moonstone and Labradorite as one can find the blue within them.
DARK BROWN – Power, Grounding & Protection
Mix brown gemstones with neutral colors like beige, white, or grey for a sophisticated, understated style.
GREYS – Change, Balance & Sophistication
Grey is a color of balance, neutrality, and sophistication. It is often seen as elegant and timeless. We love Labradorite as it isn’t a plain grey gemstone but comes with a special shimmery effect often referred to as ‘Labradorescense’ with ever changing colors ranging from blue to green.
Styling tips: Stack grey gemstones such as Labradorite with sleek, minimalist bands. Combine grey and white gemstones for a balanced, harmonious stack. Depth and dimension lands when you combine grey gemstones with darker tones, such as Smokey Quartz.
YELLOW – Joy & Optimism
Yellow represents joy, optimism, and creativity. It is a cheerful color that can brighten up any look. Yellow is fuelled by the power of the sun and resonates with our Manipura chakra.
Styling tips: Let them be the sunny highlights: Make yellow gemstones like Citrine as the bright highlights in your stack. Or pair yellow gemstones with darker stones like Smokey Quartz for a vibrant contrast.
If you’re in the mood to go a little more playful stack yellow gemstones with other bright colors like pink or blue for a playful, fun look.
WHITE – Purity & Clarity
White signifies purity, clarity, and new beginnings. It is often associated with simplicity and sophistication. Clear Quartz amplifies intentions and can be used as a neutral force within the ring stack.
Use white gemstones such as Moonstone or White Topaz as the centerpiece of your stack for a timeless and elegant look.
For a little more fun pair white gemstones with any colored stones to enhance their brilliance and create a balanced stack. If you use Clear Quartz you may amplify the intention behind any of the gemstones you pick.
A beautiful look we love is to create a chic, monochromatic look by stacking various white gemstones together.
Styling and stacking rings with different gemstone colors is not just about aesthetics; it's also about expressing yourself and what you value. Each color carries its own unique meaning, allowing you to wear your feelings and intentions quite literally on your fingers. Experiment with different combinations and find the stacks that resonate with you the most. Whether you're looking for love, energy, wisdom, stability, balance, joy, or purity, there's a gemstone (and a stack) for that. Happy stacking!
