On which finger and on which hand do men wear rings, signets and rings

 Rings are not just about women. Moreover, initially this decoration was worn by male representatives, and not by secular fashionistas. Rings were a functional accessory: from a poison hidden under the lid for a sworn enemy and a miniature sundial to a way to pay for goods received or services rendered (so the number of rings could equal the number of fingers).

However, today men rarely hang rings on all their fingers. Unless it's a celebrity, an authority with a criminal bent, or a Gypsy Baron. But one or two rings, selected with taste, will look appropriate and complement the style well. Not to mention the fact that they can become an indicator of the status and financial prosperity of the owner.

Men are more likely to wear rings and signets than thin rings. These decorations have a more masculine look. But what is the difference between a ring and a signet? The first are inlaid with precious stones, and the second front part is a kind of platform where stones, engraving, inscription, coat of arms, etc. can be present.

In past centuries, rings were worn by rulers and their close associates, representatives of guilds, and artisans (to determine their professional affiliation). Today, every man can wear a ring. The main thing is to choose the right finger and style of decoration.

On which hand men wear signets, rings and other rings

there are no Strict rules in this regard for men. Unless, of course, we are talking about engagement rings. Then it is worn on the hand that is accepted in a particular country or in a particular religion. And any other ring is usually worn by men on one or another finger, choosing for convenience.

The main thing – do not put several rings on one hand at once, leaving the "empty" second. It will look stupid and ugly. If you want people to pay more attention to your jewelry, wear it on your right hand. It is used for greetings and handshakes, so that the ring will always be in the center of attention.

Not everyone knows that there is a symbolic meaning of rings on the fingers of men. And especially rarely do men think about it themselves. And very much in vain. The finger on which a young man prefers to wear a ring can say a lot about him.

Thumb

it is Believed that on the thumb rings are bright personalities with a twist, strong and confident in their strength men. On the one hand, a raised thumb is a sign of approval. On the other hand, it was this finger that the emperors executed or pardoned once, and rings on this finger are not very convenient to wear. But what sacrifices you will not make to demonstrate to others your pronounced masculinity.

Of course, the symbolic meaning of the thumb ring is not the last instance. But it is quite possible that a man subconsciously seeks to show just such qualities. And, of course, attract more female attention.

Forefinger

A man's ring on the index finger clearly declares the ambition of its owner, his desire to rule. Especially if it's a finger on your right hand. Such people prefer to give orders rather than follow them, and they strive to lead everywhere, even if it is a friendly company and gatherings with sincere conversations. With such people, it can be difficult to find compromise solutions.

And sometimes the ring on this finger is worn simply because the shape of the hand does not allow rings on other fingers to look stylish. Or if the owner of the jewelry is not very large hands. The ring on the index finger visually changes the impression.

Middle finger

 

Most often, men wear a ring on the middle finger. In principle, there is no special sacred meaning in this option, so we can say that it is completely safe. The main thing is that the ring is not decorated with a very large stone. Otherwise, it will definitely tell about the owner's excessively inflated self-esteem, or, on the other hand, about his financial well-being.Psychologists believe that the rings on the middle finger are worn by confident and independent people. Often these are successful men who have achieved a lot on their own.

Ring finger

 

Engagement rings

It is this finger that girls first look at when meeting a man. This is an unconscious gesture that representatives of the fair sex immediately mark the status of a new acquaintance-married or not. Of course, the absence of engagement rings is not a guarantee of a single man, just as the presence of engagement rings does not indicate his marriage.

But if you are a man in an active search for a second half, do not put rings of any design on your ring finger. Otherwise, this sign of marriage will simply scare off most ladies.

Pinkie

Pinky is one of the non-trivial places where men wear a gold signet. Most often, this method of wearing jewelry is resorted to by representatives of Bohemia, writers, musicians, artists. There is an interesting opinion that if a man rings both his little fingers, this way he restrains his emotional impulses.

They also wear rings on their little finger as belonging to a certain community or club:

For example, this is common in the biker environment. Members of one club wear signets with the coat of arms or symbol of their small society.
In the European prestigious institutions of rings on the small fingers was worn by students belonging to the elite private clubs. So they showed others their exclusivity.
Rings on the little fingers in the movies are often sported by representatives of mafia organizations. And if a man has several tattoos in addition to the ring…

The next two values are probably not the most pleasant-these are gambling lovers and men who prefer to constantly receive female attention from different ladies, rather than from a single one.
