Summer Stacking Ideas

Here at Alx&Co., we are firm believers that your band does not need to be boring. Sure, we love the simplicity and elegance of a simple gold band (indeed, my wedding band is a beautiful, thin gold band that Tim made by hand, and I treasure it!) At the same time, I love stacking other bands against it to dress it up. And truly, your options for a beautiful stack are endless when you can go custom...

Double Up

Opt for something different with a double-layered band. We love these options for their dainty yet impactful styling, and you could always add a third layer for more interest!

Baguettes on the Brain

I love using step cuts in bands because they offer a beautiful luminescent sparkle without going overboard with the fire. In short, I find them exceptionally classy and timeless, and I love these variations on their styling.

Look to Nature

Truly, nature provides the best inspiration, and these pretty rings are no exception to that rule. Whether you prefer a garland style or something more wave-like, look no further than outside for the very best instruction in design.

Add Color

Stacking bands can be a great way to play with color. Whether you like a single hue or a more tonal option, we love using colored gemstones in bands for their playful pop.

If you're considering adding a band to your collection - whether it's a wedding band, an anniversary band, a milestone band, or a just-because band - your options are truly endless for creative ideas. Book a consultation today to talk through your own inspiration, and we're sure to come up with a beautiful solution!

Creative Director & Co-Owner | Alexandria and Company

I came to join Alexandria & Company by way of love: my husband Tim has owned the shop for nearly ten years, and I started by helping him on Saturdays so that we could spend more time together. Eventually, I quit my other life in the legal field to become Alx&Co’s Creative Director and co-owner with Tim. Now, we run our small business together in Old Town and I haven't looked back.

Alexandria & Company is an Old Town-based workshop and design studio specializing in creating and restoring fine jewelry and silver hollowware. They are the in-the-know jewelers of Alexandria and have been serving clients out of their small workshop for decades. Tucked in their historic building on South Royal Street, the team at Alx&Co. brings a personalized, modern approach to their craft – this is not your average stodgy jeweler or antique shop. Visit them online to view their collection of handmade fine jewelry; or, if you’re feeling creative, make an appointment to talk about that custom design project you’ve been imagining.
