The meaning of the rings on the fingers in men

Rings are a fun way to learn more about a person. This jewelry is worn not only by women, but also by men. Signet rings are especially common among businessmen and fashionistas. What can the location of the ring tell about a man?

The meaning of the rings on the fingers in men is divided into two categories: belonging to a particular group (or marital status) and psychological significance. In the second case, the owner puts the ring on a certain finger, as it seems to him, without any sense. But finger selection indicates certain subconscious desires, problems, or characteristics. By the location of the jewelry, you can determine whether a person is confident in himself or not, whether he is lucky in love.

Large rings were traditionally located on the thumb, designed to emphasize the status of the owner. The larger and brighter the product, the richer its owner. Now both wealthy people and those who just want to attract attention can wear rings in this way. This arrangement of jewelry indicates increased sexual activity, self-confidence, impulsivity and emotionality.

People who wear thumb rings should be careful. Such men can be too narcissistic and aggressive. But if the temperament is restrained, then such an arrangement, on the contrary, indicates positive qualities: strength, business acumen, a sense of style.

Those men who like to draw attention to themselves wear rings on their index fingers. The explanation is simple: the index finger is used more often than others when gesturing, which means that it is more likely that the jewelry will be noticed. This location is believed to indicate the following qualities:

• striving for leadership;
• determination;
• purposefulness.

More often than not, people who wear a ring on their index finger easily gain authority, they know how to restrain their emotional impulses. If the ring is on your right hand, it is possible that this is a betrothed or already married Jew. In Judaism, it is customary to wear wedding jewelry not on the ring finger.

It is interesting that earlier it was forbidden to wear rings on the index finger. At least this was the case in most European countries. Such an action was allowed only for aristocratic persons. They placed jewelry with the family coat of arms on the index finger.

The ring on the middle finger is a sign of "masculine" qualities. Such a person is most likely firm, but not overly stubborn, knows how to take responsibility, is ready to protect loved ones and defend their interests. As for the temperament, here everything is interpreted in different ways. If the ring flaunts on the middle finger (a wedding ring on the ring finger is also allowed), then the man is calm, restrained, tames his impulsive impulses. If other decorations are present, then the person may turn out to be too stubborn, self-confident, aggressive. He is unlikely to reckon with other people's opinions because of excessive selfishness.

Sometimes the ring on the middle finger indicates a man's fears. If the jewelry is worn on the left hand, its owner is afraid to be left alone, he does not have enough attention.

The rings on the ring fingers mainly indicate the presence of a partner. For more information on how marital status is indicated with the help of rings, read below. Let's talk about the psychological meaning here. It used to be thought that the aorta or nerve goes through the ring finger directly to the heart. Therefore, it began to be used to symbolize love. If a person is not engaged or married, wearing jewelry on the ring finger indicates the following traits:

• creativity and desire for creativity;
• loyalty;
• a penchant for romance;
• daydreaming;
• energy.

Astrologers believe that you can specifically start wearing jewelry on a certain finger in order to improve your psychological state and attract good luck. It is recommended to wear jewelry on the ring finger for those men who want to attract love, become more balanced.

Rings on the little fingers sometimes mean exactly the opposite things. To decipher the meaning of such a piece of jewelry, you will have to evaluate a person according to other criteria. Let's start with the psychological, subconscious meaning. On the little finger of the left hand, the little finger is worn by men who know how to listen. They can be both just introverts and real empaths who are always ready to help and comfort. Also, the location speaks of developed intuition. On the right little finger, the ring is worn by people with developed intelligence, erudites, and also eccentric personalities.

A ring on the little finger may indicate belonging to a particular group.

• In the 70s, homosexual men wore jewelry like that. Now the secret meaning is almost forgotten, but people of the older generation can still use it.
• Mafiosi rings are worn on the right little finger. In Russia, this value is not common, but in Italy or the USA it is a characteristic feature.
• It was customary to wear seals on the little finger - rings with an imprint, with which they put wax seals on letters. Now the prints on the little fingers are worn by the descendants of aristocrats, mainly in the UK and European countries.
• A ring on the left little finger - a person belongs to a particular team or sect. Again, meaning for Western countries.

In Russia, only one type of ring says that a person is in a permanent relationship - an engagement ring on the ring finger of his right hand. But in the West, the values ​​are much higher, and they are gradually spreading across the CIS, especially among men of the younger generation.

In Russia, the CIS, the USA and some countries of Europe and Asia, wedding products are worn on the ring finger of the right hand. But there is a second type of wearing, close to the first - a wedding ring on the left hand. So it is customary to wear jewelry in some Catholic countries: France, Great Britain, Germany. This is common in Canada, as well as among Muslims. But in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Norway they act as usual for us - after marriage, they put a ring on the ring finger of the right hand.

A man, obviously, can not only be married. There are other statuses:

• divorced - the ring moves from the right hand to the left, but is also worn on the nameless one (although a man can remove the jewelry altogether);
• widower - the ring is either worn as before, until the death of the partner, or they supplement it with a second ring - the deceased wife (or they can take off their ring altogether or wear it on a chain around the neck);
• engaged - a ring on the left or right hand, on the ring finger.

We should also talk about engagement rings.They are common in England, Canada, USA, European countries. Do not confuse them with engagement ones. Engagement rings are given when they propose. Paired wedding bands are cast later and are worn only after the wedding. Usually, engagement jewelry is given by men to women, but sometimes paired jewelry is made. This is especially true abroad. There it is customary to propose long before the wedding itself; a couple can be engaged for 5-10 years. Then they make engagement rings for both the woman and the man so that others can see that both partners are in a serious relationship.

When it comes time to put on a wedding ring instead of an engagement ring, a man chooses one of the following options:

• puts on two rings on the ring finger of his right hand, one after the other;
• transfers the engagement product to the other hand;
• takes off the engagement ring and leaves it somewhere with family photos, in a special case;
• puts an engagement ring on the other finger of either hand (less common).

But it is not customary for all peoples to put on an engagement or engagement ring on the ring finger. People who practice Judaism wear such jewelry on the index finger. And the gypsies do not put the ring on their finger at all, but wear it on a massive chain around their neck.

On the toes, rings have been worn since the 3rd century. ad. The first mentions of this method of decorating feet are found in ancient treatises in India. It was from this country that the fashion for toe rings went. This type of jewelry was originally worn by married women in India. With the help of jewelry, they either emphasized their marital status, or declared wealth to others. In the second case, intricate designs were chosen. The metal was cast in the form of branches of plants or flowers, in the center a precious stone or several at once was necessarily inlaid.

Gradually, the fashion for foot rings spread beyond India. In other countries, such decorations no longer had any practical value. Both men and women could wear them; marital status did not matter. By the same principle, foot jewelry is worn now. The only thing that can be said about the owner of such an extravagant jewelry is that he has a sense of style and the courage to choose original solutions. It's hard to meet a man with a ring on his toe. Firstly, the fashion for such a sock is still more widespread in eastern countries, and secondly, it is rare to see a man's feet. You can only see them on the beach.

There is a so-called "jewelry etiquette". These are the unspoken rules for wearing jewelry. A man may not adhere to them, no one will punish him for this. But if you have doubts about your own sense of style, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the "etiquette". The first rule for men is moderation. There should be no more than 3 rings on both hands. In women, this is a little less strict - up to 4 rings are allowed. When counting jewelry, you need to consider not only those that are used for aesthetic reasons. Family seals, engagement, engagement are also counted.

Bachelors without outstanding pedigree have the most room to maneuver - you can choose 3 rings to your liking. But the descendants of aristocratic families who have already married and left an engagement ring on their hands were not lucky - they will not be able to put on additional jewelry without violating etiquette. It is desirable that the rings located on one hand match each other in the color of the metal. Don't overdo it with precious stones. One hand - one inlaid ring.
