Stacking rings were an easy way for me to talk to customers about wearing jewelry together, not just about buying one bracelet. They're also a fun project to demonstrate in a short video.
Keep the assortment intentional
Start with two or three textures, one or two metals, and a few carefully chosen sizes. If you want to offer extensive sizing, make sure you know how you'll manage stock and exchanges. A ring that looks beautiful but feels sharp or catches on clothing isn't ready to sell.
What you'll need
Depending on your process, you'll want ring-forming tools, an appropriately sized mandrel, files, finishing tools, and clearly specified metals. I like sourcing reliable hand tools rather than buying a massive starter kit. Practice shaping and finishing with inexpensive material before investing in costly precious metals.
Sell sets, not clutter
Photograph two and three-ring combinations on a hand, and let customers mix their own textures. One simple bundle price is easier to understand than a crowded sign of micro-prices. Track your labor time and packaging. A buy-one-get-one promotion might be fun for a final event, but it doesn't have to become your permanent pricing policy.
