Stacking rings date back centuries with evidence of them being seen in Ancient Egypt, Rome and Greece. Although the cultural significance varies between the civilizations, the adornment of these rings has lived on. In Ancient Egypt stacked rings were worn to represent someone’s social standing and connection with eternity, often made of precious metals with intricate engravings. Romans wore stacking rings as a symbol of authority with the number of rings representing an achievement or accomplishment; more rings, more power. The Greeks wore stackable rings that interlocked and could be worn separately or together in different configurations to represent aspects of a relationship, i.e. friendship, love, marriage.
