People wear rings in different ways and for different reasons. While you may think they do it just for fun or decoration, there may be important reasons why they wear a particular style or a particular ring on a particular finger. It may depend on their relationship status, personality, cultural beliefs, history, etc. So before you adorn yourself with rings, think again about how to wear rings. And to make it easier, here is some important information about wearing rings. 

 

What do I need to consider before I start wearing rings?

 

Rings are an additional accessory

Simpler rings, such as bands, can be a great complement to other accessories as they can be used for both casual and formal wear. These rings can be ornate rings or casual rings worn with other rings on the same hand. 

 

Choice of finger

Some fingers have special meanings, from occupation to marital status, so where you place the ring can say a lot about you. It's best to find out what each finger is associated with before deciding where and how you will wear your jewellery. In the next section of this article, you will find more information about the meaning of each finger. 

 

Create your personal style

There are many styles of rings to choose from, but it makes the most sense to choose rings that reflect your style. So if you're drawn to minimalist fashion, go for small, delicate rings that emphasise clean lines, while if you're into something extravagant, you can go for more interesting designs and larger rings. 

 

Ring size

It's very important to know what size rings fit on different fingers of your hand. We've written about how you can find out the right ring size for you at home in our other article, which you can find here:

 

Rings as official status symbols 

 

Occasion or cocktail rings can be a great formal item as they are much bolder and larger than regular rings. Therefore, they should be worn separately from other rings. Engagement and wedding rings are often considered to be more formal-looking, but most ring-wearing experts agree that they can still be worn with other rings. However, please note that rings with a gemstone are best worn on formal occasions, especially if the gemstone is quite massive and striking.   

 

Places for rings

It is best to distribute the rings evenly on your hands so that you do not wear too many rings at once. You also want them to be evenly spaced on your fingers. If you haven't worn rings before, wearing one ring as a small accessory can help you get used to wearing rings. And once you get used to it, you can wear several rings and look stylish together. An example of how this can be achieved is by wearing another ring with small stones, or a small ring in a different shape, next to a plain silver ring without a stone. You can combine the rings however you like, but don't overdo it, so that your fingers don't get too weighed down by the rings and look unsightly.

Double, triple rings

Double or even triple rings have only recently become popular. The double or triple ring effect can also be achieved by stacking several rings on top of each other to create a cluster effect. It can be two rings put together at once or you can mix and match your existing rings in everyday designs. Meanwhile, rings with gemstones should not be mixed with other rings unless the stones are small and go well together.

 

Your outfit

When deciding which ring to use, you need to take into account what your outfit is - casual or formal. You should also pay attention to the other jewellery you will be wearing on the day and how it will work with your ring. Whatever ring you choose, it should match the colour scheme of your outfit, you should give a sense of unity to all your jewellery and only use rings of the same colour, for example, silver rings with a silver chain, gold earrings with gold rings etc.

 

RINGS AND FINGER: WHAT DOES EACH ONE SYMBOLISE?

 

Palmistry, or the study of people's hands, is a very interesting art. The way people arrange and wear rings on their fingers gives subtle clues to their personality and hobbies. Rings can signify kinship ties, cultural references and even loyalty. People also use rings on a particular finger to radiate a certain energy. In other words, the very finger we put rings on can reflect our personality.

THUMB

The thumb is represented by the Roman god Neptune and symbolises character. As Neptune was the god of water, wearing a ring on this finger can signify change, or the fast-moving and transient personality associated with creative people. In addition, the thumb is separated from the rest of the fingers, which may indicate a certain alienation or exclusivity.   

 

INDEX FINGER

The index finger symbolises the Roman god Jupiter and people in high positions, such as kings and rulers, who wear a ring on this finger. It symbolises power and authority because Jupiter was the king of the gods. People who wear a ring on their index finger are proud of their leadership, they are adaptable in most situations and can take charge. However, this quality can also easily anger people. A ring on the index finger indicates high self-esteem, decisiveness and self-confidence.

 

MIDDLE FINGER

Saturn is the Roman god symbolising the middle finger and associated with identity and balance. As Saturn was the father of Jupiter, the middle finger is associated with wisdom, as well as with our roles and responsibilities in life. It is known as the finger with the most strength and balance, as is the middle finger of the hand itself. The wearer of this ring is considered to respect values and responsibilities. It also indicates a serious approach to life, a strong sense of morality and the ability to distinguish right from wrong.   

 

RING FINGER

The ring finger is associated with romance, which is why we wear wedding rings on this finger. This finger represents the god Apollo, famous for music and poetry, and reflects well-being and creativity. Those who choose a ring on this finger love picnics in the park, romantic stories and romantic comedies. It is also not for nothing that Western culture encourages the wearing of a ring on this finger - it is the only finger with an artery that goes straight to the heart. 

 

LITTLE

The little finger is associated with both Mercury and the mind. Family crests are usually worn on it. The little finger can also have two meanings: 

If it is worn on the active hand, the wearer has excellent negotiating skills as well as the ability to express himself;

if worn on the passive hand, the wearer is considered to have excellent listening skills and strong intuition.

 

HOW MANY RINGS ARE ADVISABLE TO WEAR

 

Although there is no right or wrong answer as to how many rings you should wear, it is generally safe to have no more than two or three rings divided between the two hands. 

 

5 QUICK TIPS FOR WEARING RINGS

 

1. Each ring sends a direct or subliminal message. A ring can easily identify your relationship, wealth or social status.

 

2. It is important to remember: rings will not work if you do not trust them. Start wearing your ring at home and wait until you get used to the feel and weight of it. Then you can start wearing the ring around other people. It is also important to be confident with rings as people may start asking questions about the ring once they notice it, especially if it is a bright and massive ring. It's best to be prepared for questions about the ring as it can start a conversation, so think about whether you are comfortable with it. 

 

3. Make sure the ring is proportionate to your hand. If you have large hands, then a larger ring can be worn. However, if you have smaller hands, you will need to balance the proportions by wearing a smaller ring. 

 

4. The next thing to consider is how you match your rings with other jewellery. If you plan to wear several rings, make sure they are evenly distributed on your hands. This works the same way with other jewellery; if you have a wedding ring on your left hand, put a bracelet or other jewellery on your right hand. 

 

5. Think about metals and how they go with your skin - if you have a cool skin tone, consider wearing silver. If you can see your veins, your skin tone is cool. Conversely, wear gold if you have a warm skin tone (i.e. if your veins are not visible). Don't forget to match your accessories - clasps, belt buckles, watch straps, etc. should be similar colours.
