The ring can be worn on its own or it can be stacked with similar rings in different finishes or shapes. The unobtrusive design invites piling on of other rings, actually.
Markle wore it on its own on her ring finger. It's thin, delicate shape is unusual and is why it can stand out when standing alone on a finger. But imagine how rad it would look with other rings piled on below the knuckle?

The rings may be delicate, but the volume or amount is what increases the edge. Remember, the stacking rings is really about more how many you wear, not about where you place them.
