Up until a couple years ago, I was convinced I would never be a ring person—every time I put one on it would end up in my bag within the hour. Fast-forward to now, however, and I pretty much always have at least five on my fingers and am forever trawling Etsy for the best shops for dainty stacking rings.
I chalk it up to finding a few delicate styles that I could comfortably keep on all day at first, and then I worked my way up to chunkier statement rings on occasion. Mostly, though, I stick to a mix of lightweight midi and regular bands for everyday wear from a mix of independent designers and cool shops I discovered on Etsy. With a little searching, the site is a treasure trove of under-the-radar jewelry brands that make sleek gold sets, layering chains, infinity knots, and pretty diamond and gemstone pieces that aren't crazy expensive.
Below, find six of our favorite indie shops to add to your ring collection.
Le Cubicule
Le Cubicule's pretty ring sets make a strong case for mixing metals. Though, if you're loyal to rose gold, yellow gold, or sterling silver, you can buy each one individually, too.
