What Ring Should You Wear On Each Finger?
Historically each finger represents something different, these are not rules you must follow, but if you like the idea of following traditions and customs, then this could be the perfect way to style your rings. We’ll fill in the history behind each finger and show you some great examples.
Thumb Rings
Thumb rings are historically a symbol of rank, wealth, and social status.
Today there are many different styles of thumb rings to choose from. Choose from a range of materials like gold, sterling silver, stainless steel, and many more. With simple, decorated or traditional styles available, you’ll be able to find the perfect ring for you.
Index Finger Rings
Index finger rings are a popular fashion statement these days. Historically index finger rings have symbolic meaning. In Western cultures, it is typically seen as a symbol of power or authority.
In other cultures, it is sometimes associated with the planet Jupiter, which is often associated with power, leadership, and ambition. Wearing a ring on the index finger is believed to gain access to those qualities.
Middle Finger Rings
Men’s rings on the middle finger are typically a symbol of rebellion. This is due to its association with the “middle finger” gesture, which is often given as a sign of contempt or disrespect. Wearing a ring on your middle finger can be seen as a way to express your rebellious nature or to challenge authority.
A middle finger ring is also a powerful fashion statement that will bring more attention to your hand jewellery.
Ring Finger Rings
Traditionally the ring finger is reserved for wedding rings. In many cultures the ring finger is associated with love, commitment, and fidelity. One of the reasons why the ring finger is the traditional finger for wedding rings is that there is a vein that runs directly from the heart down to the finger, making it the perfect place to wear a ring that symbolises love and commitment.
Pinky Finger Rings
Pinky rings have been worn by men for many centuries and have both symbolic and practical meaning. Traditionally pinky rings have been associated with power and status. A ring on the pinky finger is often seen as a symbol of elegance and high class. Pinky rings are also a popular choice for affiliation rings. Some organisations or groups create rings to be worn on the pinky to show you’re affiliated with them.
How To Style Men’s Rings
So now that we know what rings are worn on each finger, what rings would you like to adopt into your style?
Focus on balance, for example. If you’re wearing a signet ring on your pinky finger and a watch on your wrist, try a thumb ring and another ring on your opposite ring finger. This keeps your jewellery balanced with an organic look.
If you’re wearing multiple rings on one hand try and make sure they’re on different fingers. Make your favourite statement piece stand out by supporting it with one or two subtle rings. Because men’s rings tend to be thicker and bulkier, creating ring stacks can be uncomfortable for men.
Follow this men’s ring style example if you’re new to rings and aren’t quite sure what you want yet.
