An infinity ring is a stylish accessory. Many people prefer this item. But what does the symbol of infinity mean, does it give special power to a person?
The sign of infinity is depicted as a figure eight. It means movement in a vicious circle. But unlike the number 8, the symbol is depicted upside down. It is used not only in magical rituals, but also in mathematics to denote an infinite number of solutions.
A ring with this symbolism can be made in various variations:
What does the infinity ring mean? It is believed that such an ornament attracts certain forces to a person. It can be used as a talisman to protect the wearer from dark entities.
Recently, wedding rings with the symbol of infinity have become fashionable. The sign indicates an eternal and inseparable bond. Indeed, the symbol outwardly resembles two small circles that are united together at a common point. Why not an image for lovers?
According to popular beliefs, such wedding rings strengthen the bond between people. They declare the inviolability of their union and serious intentions. It is believed that their marriage will be simply impossible to break.
By the way, the castle, which some newlyweds hang, has a similar symbolism. So they make each other a promise not to break off the love affair and maintain a strong relationship. Even if the castle does not have magical powers, it is just a beautiful and romantic ritual.
What does the ring in the form of infinity mean?
In different cultures and religions, the meanings of the symbol are different. But there is always a connection between them.
In Christianity, the ring with the sign of infinity is considered a symbol of eternal union. People not only make a promise before God, but also unite spiritually. Therefore, Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants often use such rings for wedding ceremonies.
In the people, it is believed that the sign gives protection to higher powers. He protects the wearer from the evil eye, evil people, demons. In addition, the symbol indicates boundless love that will never fade away.
In ancient Egypt, such rings were worn by pharaohs and priests. It was believed that the symbol provides protection to the gods and provides great power to man. Commoners also used small talismans, which were supposed to keep them out of trouble.
In China, the inverted figure eight was considered the basis of the universe. A ring with a similar sign meant eternity and power. Such rings were usually worn by commanders, emperors and high-ranking officials.
In China, there was a tradition of issuing such rings to people who were removed from their posts and sent into exile. If the eight was whole, then the emperor wanted to teach a lesson to a person and reinstate him in his position. If the sign opens, then the punished will no longer be allowed to hold public office.
In Judaism, the inverted figure eight denotes the life cycle and the infinity of the universe.
Among the Romans and the ancient Greeks, steel rings were a symbol of a successful person. They were allowed to be worn only by worthy people with a high social status. For the priests, special gold jewelry was made. They indicated involvement in the service of the gods.
The ring with the sign of infinity also has a magical meaning. Much depends on the shape of the symbol and its location on the finger. There are several options:
The gold ring is perfect for marriage. It symbolizes the eternal bond and inviolability of the union. In recent years, the symbol is increasingly seen on wedding rings.
Additionally, gold jewelry will ensure good luck and success in all endeavors. You will be able to achieve the desired result faster with less effort.
If the ring is decorated with precious stones, then it is considered a symbol of wealth. According to beliefs, it is able to improve the financial situation of the owner. The more pebbles, the more effective the ring.

The advantage of a silver ring with an infinity sign will be an attractive price. You can buy it for about 1000 - 3000 rubles. The cost depends on the sample, for most products it is 925, the weight and complexity of the work performed in the manufacture.
Runes are additional symbols that can be applied to jewelry. What information do they carry? It all depends on the runes used. With the help of magical symbols, you can enhance protection, ensure good luck, longevity and wealth.
Most sources reject the possibility of a negative effect of such a ring on a person. But if runes are applied to the metal, then they can correct the magical properties of the jewelry. With the help of symbols, the ring can be charged with negativity so that a person is constantly pursued by failures.
Additionally, it is not recommended to wear other people's jewelry with the sign of infinity. It is believed that they absorb both positive and negative energy of the owner. Therefore, it is better to take the found ring to a pawnshop and not buy similar products from other people.

If from Sunday to Monday you dreamed that you received a ring as a gift, all the excitement and showdown with the person you love is behind you.
A dream from Friday to Saturday, in which you saw a broken ring, means quarrels and discord in marital affairs.
The dreamed rings on the fingers of other people indicate that your new acquaintance runs the risk of dragging on for too long and becoming burdensome for you. If you had such a dream from Saturday to Sunday, you should beware of gossip.
By the way, the ring has always been considered a symbol of love. It is the rings that are used for the betrothal of the young, being the talisman of the new family.
Interpretation of dreams fromRings are considered one of the most ancient jewelry used by people since the Paleolithic. At that time they were made of stone or bone. Metal products began to appear in the Bronze Age. At the same time, such decorations spoke about the social status of a person. The more rings were on the hand, the richer their owner was. In ancient Rome, one of the main decorations for senators and representatives of the nobility were gold rings.
What do the rings on different fingers of ancient people mean? These elements performed a special function:
Many representatives of the weaker sex believe that a ring on a finger is nothing more than an ornament. For some, it is a sign of good taste, some kind of symbol, while others wear it for special purposes, as they believe that this is a way to change fate and attract good luck. But then you need to know the meaning of the rings on different fingers in women. Do not forget that a lot of signs are associated with such jewelry, so you should choose them very carefully.
Especially many beliefs apply to wedding rings. It is believed that only the groom should buy them. It is impossible to measure such a ring to someone other than future spouses, as this can lead to discord in marriage.
Any rings, regardless of their purpose on the hand, should not be allowed to be removed by another person. So he takes his life energy.
A well-chosen ring with good energy can be a symbol of boundless happiness. You should be more careful with the jewelry found, as it can carry negativity. Here it is better to consult with professionals or sell the product, and buy yourself a new one.
Losing rings is strongly discouraged - this is a very bad omen. Some even believe that this can lead to death. In fact, such an outcome of events should not be expected, but a certain negative in a person’s life may appear. This is especially true for wedding rings. If they are lost, the family will fall apart or have strong quarrels.
Expectant mothers need to be very careful about wearing rings and other round objects on the body. Since ancient times, it was believed that the rings protect the mother and child from all problems and bad energy. Therefore, before the onset of childbirth, it is not worth removing jewelry. But during the birth of a child, you need to remove everything round, “closed” on the body. This applies to rings, chains, bracelets, etc. It is believed that such items impede the birth process.
Esotericists believe that each of the sides of the human body has a certain meaning. Therefore, an important role is played not only by the finger on which the ring is worn, but also by the hand. If a person wants to change his fate, he should think carefully and choose the right decoration for himself.
Rings on the right hand should be worn only those that can bring good luck and prosperity. This half of the body is responsible for many qualities of a person, including making him more sociable, prudent, lucky and dexterous. All this helps to achieve success in business and business.
This half of the body has the "opposite" meaning. If the rings on the fingers of the right hand in most cases mean material wealth, then it is better to wear jewelry on the left hand for people who are looking for love, inspiration and have health problems. It is possible that on this hand the ring will help to discover a new talent, get rid of negative thoughts and achieve inner balance.
But do not forget that the finger on which the ring will be worn also plays an important role.
Much depends on which hand the ring will be on. But the right finger is key. If the ring was bought for the index, but over time the hands became fuller and it had to be moved to a large one, there will be no proper effect. Therefore, rings should be selected carefully, exclusively in size and better on their own, and not received as a gift. So the influence of jewelry on fate will be more significant.
Symbolizes Mars or Venus: palmists disagree, since the location of this site is ambiguous. But in any case, the rings on this finger help to develop logic, achieve great heights in some endeavors and enhance the influence of internal energy. Women who wear rings on this finger are highly emotional, but they do not have outbursts of anger and aggression. This is a good option for those who do not get along well with others and strive for greater harmony in society.
Moreover, the ring on the finger of Mars makes it possible for a woman to realize her sexuality and to please men. For modest women, this helps to express themselves and find a soul mate faster.
This finger is the symbol of Jupiter. Here the ring will mean a thirst for power and pride in one's deeds. A woman who wears a ring on her index finger can quickly succeed in any endeavor, develops intuition and becomes more insightful.
If the ring is worn on the right hand, this will indicate the desire to do only deliberate actions. Such women tend to analyze and weigh everything. And also it speaks of great wisdom and leadership inclinations. On the left hand of the index finger, the ring can make the fair sex unbalanced and even hysterical.
The main meaning of the ring on the right hand is the desire for something. A woman will achieve her goal at any cost and will not stop even in front of serious obstacles.
This is the finger of Saturn. Here the ring will be especially relevant for those women who are constantly unlucky. Good luck when wearing a ring on the middle finger will not run away. This will have a positive impact on both personal life and business. Achieving the desired result will become much faster and easier.
If you put a birth ring on your middle finger, this will definitely help get rid of all the negativity that is destined by fate. In this case, the power of the ancestors will not be so influential on a person's life. Wearing a ring on this finger guarantees prosperity and gives strength to its owner.
A lot of signs are associated with it, so many try not to put on the ring at all until a certain point. Everyone knows on which finger wedding rings are worn - the ring finger. However, it can also be used for other jewelry with a slightly different meaning.
The nameless one is called the finger of Apollo and is under the auspices of the Sun. A woman who wears a ring on it strives for everything beautiful and refined. For her, comfort, fame and wealth play an important role in life. In this case, the ring must be selected very carefully. If it is small, the decoration will make a woman balanced and calm. And with a complex pattern or a large stone - emotional.
Many women who already wear a wedding ring on their ring finger are concerned about the question of an additional ring "on top" of the wedding ring. This makes the family stronger, a sign that the fair sex values her family hearth very much.
The value of the ring on the ring finger can be different, but always positive. For some, this arrangement of jewelry brings success in business and career, while others discover their creative abilities.
Little finger refers to the smallest planet, namely Mercury. Overly emotional and unbalanced women should not wear a ring on their left little finger. So they will become even more volatile, fickle and unstable. But those who lack creativity and sophistication in thinking can wear jewelry in the Mercury zone.
A ring on the little finger can make the fair sex more flirtatious and reckless. For many, it is this option that opens up creative abilities and leads to a desire to change a profession or field of activity.
Women who wear pinky rings are very attractive and unusual. They always know how to draw attention to their person. Brightness and looseness makes such ladies excellent actresses. It is impossible not to note the internal magnetism that women with a ring on their little fingers possess. Despite the fact that such an arrangement of jewelry can lead to excessive emotionality, it does not interfere, but even helps to establish business contacts and find a common language with the most difficult people to communicate with. The flexibility of the mind that Mercury gives will be an additional assistant in solving communication problems.
Here rings were worn at different times. In ancient times, both men and women decorated their hands in this way. Now the rings on the phalanges are especially fashionable and popular. Their meaning coincides with which finger and hand the ring is worn on.
Many spouses, whose half has departed to another world, are interested in the question of which finger the ring of the deceased is worn on. Some widows do not remove their jewelry after the death of their husband, as this is simply not necessary. The main thing is not to transfer the ring of a deceased person to the bride or groom. It is strictly unacceptable to use such jewelry repeatedly as wedding rings.
After the death of one of the spouses, there are several options for how to deal with the ring. It can simply be put in a box, while a widow or widower can wear their ring on the ring finger of the right or left hand. You can wear both rings on two ring fingers. It is allowed to wear the jewelry of the deceased spouse on a chain around the neck.
Such jewelry requires a particularly careful approach to the choice. The amulet is difficult to recommend, you need to feel it. Sometimes it happens that a woman simply sees a piece of jewelry on the counter and understands that she must buy it. And here it does not matter on which finger it will be worn, the main thing is that the ring evokes positive emotions.
The greatest effectiveness is brought by those amulets that can be put on the middle or ring finger. Depending on what task the ring faces, the right or left hand can be chosen.
Any rings require timely cleaning. And this applies to amulets in the first place. Not only dirt and bacteria accumulate on these rings, but also bad energy. Therefore, from time to time it is necessary to clean jewelry with pure water, salt and solar energy. Such a procedure is carried out simply. To begin with, salt is diluted in water, jewelry is placed here for two hours, and then wiped with a cloth and laid out in the sun. So the amulet rings will not only be cleansed of negativity, but also recharged with positive energy.
Most of these rings have the inscription "Save and Save". You can wear them on any hand and finger. It is considered a good sign to put on a church ring "over" the wedding ring. This will make the family stronger and protect against many adversities. But for those who have not yet married, the “Save and Save” ring on the ring finger of the right hand should not be worn. This is a bad omen that threatens celibacy.
These rings are traditionally worn by the groom on the bride's ring finger and vice versa. No other options are provided. But there are a lot of signs associated with wedding and engagement rings, which must be remembered.
These jewelry should not be allowed to be measured by other people. On the day of the wedding, the ring finger cannot be worn with other rings, except for the wedding or engagement ring. The decoration itself should be even and smooth, like the future life of the family. The presence of drawings and stones on such jewelry is considered a bad omen. The use of rings melted down from parental engagement rings can also have a negative impact on family life. Widow jewelry cannot be used at a wedding.
Such jewelry can be worn on any finger. If the ring was chosen correctly, in any case it will become a strong amulet. For a long time, real Orthodox finger jewelry could only be bought in monasteries. Now they are sold in many church shops. If a woman is looking for a real amulet, and not just a beautiful decoration, she should pay attention to the simplest and most modest silver rings that carry good energy.
Such rings must be selected for each finger, but the index, middle and ring fingers are universal. The choice should depend on the type of rune or sign.
Slavic themes have become especially fashionable. Symbols such as the Solstice, Kolovrat, Black Sun, Serpent, Rodovik, Fern Flower, etc. can be depicted here. All these elements have a certain meaning, protect or give strength for a certain business. Therefore, they should be chosen very carefully.
Stones in rings always look good. Esotericists recommend not choosing them only by color or completely at random. The easiest way is to navigate by your zodiac sign. 2-3 stones are recommended for each.
As for the type of engraving, it does not matter much. The main thing is that the ring attracts the owner and evokes positive emotions.
If you look at the signs of the zodiac, then you should choose certain stones.
| Zodiac sign | Suitable stones |
|---|---|
| Aries | Amethyst, diamond |
| Taurus | Zirconium, emerald |
| Twins | Emerald, amethyst |
| Crayfish | Moonstone |
| a lion | Beryl, hyacinth |
| Virgo | Diamond, emerald |
| Scales | Malachite |
| Scorpion | Topaz, pomegranate |
| Sagittarius | Sapphire, carnelian |
| Capricorn | Alexandrite, garnet |
| Aquarius | Emerald, obsidian |
| Fish | Aquamarine, sapphire |
Jewelry fashion changes every year. In 2018, the trend is a combination of massive rings. Here the main emphasis should be placed on large stones that can decorate each finger.
In addition, phalanx rings are back in fashion. They are not very comfortable for everyday life, but with the right approach, you can use such jewelry even for a work dress code.
An interesting combination will be several rings of different sizes and shapes, which are interconnected by a chain. An unlimited number of jewelry can be worn on each finger. This season will be the rule "the more - the better!"
As for the metal, it is best to choose gold. And it can be not only a monophonic material, but also having several shades with red or white splashes.
If a woman does not accept a large number of jewelry on her hand, you can limit yourself to one ring. But the main condition for being in a trend is its visibility. The ring should have a fairly large stone or a large pattern. Stylish and fashionable this season will be jewelry with geometric inserts: oval, rectangular, square, etc.
Does it matter which finger to wear the ring on? There are many traditions in wearing jewelry. Knowing the symbolism of wearing rings can "make a statement" or learn something about its owner. There is no rigid set of rules on which finger and on which hand to wear a ring, and any person can wear rings as he pleases, with the exception of wedding rings. But there are nuances here. For example, most residents of South and North America, including the United States, and most European countries wear a wedding ring on the ring finger of the left hand, and in accordance with the Orthodox tradition, they are worn on the ring finger of the right hand. However, men often do not wear them on any finger at all.
However, a trained eye can easily see even a trace of the ring, if there is interest not only theoretical. As a rule, the right hand will tell more about the physical side of a person - it is more active, dominant, more “gesturing”. The left is usually seen as a reflection of the psychological side of a person's personality - it speaks more about character and beliefs. What will the symbolism of the rings tell us? Let's go through the fingers.
1. THE THUMB symbolizes willpower and reflects the inner essence of a person. If you start wearing a ring on your thumb, be careful, changes will soon begin in your life. Also, wearing a ring on the thumb helps to develop the will.
Rings on the thumbs are often surprising, but, in fact, this phenomenon is quite common in the world. In most cases, the ring on the thumb is perceived as a symbol of wealth and influence, while the rings in this case are more often worn wide and large. Previously, a wedding ring often moved to the thumb. Such a tradition existed, in particular, during the time of George I in England; in medieval Europe, wedding rings were generally worn on different fingers. It is also a common choice for those people who want to wear several rings on the same hand, but in such a way as to distance the rings from each other somewhat. An engagement ring, pinky and middle finger rings together can feel over the top and are not always comfortable to wear. The ring on the thumb "unloads" the composition.
The thumb up is a gesture of friendliness, so you should not wear a ring on it that will annoy other people. There is nothing worse than an expensive and tasteless thumb ring. It's best when it's bold yet simple. And although many authors believe that the thumb does not have astrological associations and does not have a patron among the ancient Greek gods, like all other fingers, it is often associated with warlike Mars. It was believed that the thumb reflects character - strong straight fingers are characteristic of authoritative personalities, and curves were perceived as a sign of sinfulness. Astrology associates the thumb with carnelian, pomegranate and ruby.
There is another important point - since ancient times, men have worn an archery ring on their thumb, initially such rings were made of leather. Therefore, in the old days, the presence of a ring on the thumb was associated with courage and the ability to wield weapons. Perhaps for this reason, wearing a rather large and wide ring on this finger remains to this day a male prerogative and a symbol of masculinity.
The left thumb will not make a statement about your status, profession, or other important part of life. But it's a great finger for a "statement" - choose a wide ring that won't get in the way on your hand, and people will understand that you are a fashionable and confident person.
The right thumb doesn't say anything in particular either - it's a great way to show off your favorite ring or use it to make a "statement". I have heard, for example, that non-traditional minorities use thumb rings to make such claims.
2. INDEX FINGER represents power, leadership and ambition. It is believed that wearing a ring on this finger activates just this kind of energy. This was especially noticeable in those distant times, when famous and powerful kings wore a ring on their index finger. Wear a ring on this finger if you want to develop leadership qualities in yourself and get an impetus to develop in this direction.
The ring of the bull is worn in the film by Chief Justice Sir Thomas Rotheram, and it indicates belonging to the fictional Temple of the Four Orders. Did the authors of the film think about historical symbolism (and they touched on the symbolism of secret English organizations), but it is dressed logically, moreover, it emphasizes belonging to power. Sherlock Holmes, with his eyes closed, was taken to this house and accurately names its location - northwest of St. James's Park. It's between Buckingham Palace and Green Park. Enough information to use the deductive method of the hero, at least for the era of Conan Doyle. I will not delve into it - I am leading to the fact that the historical symbolism of the rings is relevant to this day.
Instinctively, we use the index finger more often than others in gestures (not counting the thumb). But it turns out that the ring on this finger bothers us less than on the middle one next to it. In history, wearing rings (usually seals or rings) on the index finger was the most common, except in cases where in some regions of Europe it was forbidden for people below a certain status. Therefore, rings were often worn on this finger (especially by men), symbolizing belonging to some kind of brotherhood, membership in an organization, etc. The ring on the index finger does not stand out as sharply as on the middle finger or little finger, but, thanks to gesticulation, it is quite noticeable. The astrological association is Jupiter, which symbolizes strength, leadership, authority and spirituality. Jupiter's metal is tin, but silver is also a normal choice for a ring. Astrological stones of the index fingers - lapis lazuli, amethyst, blue topaz.
The left index finger does not have a 100% unambiguous symbolism, although it is a good finger for demonstrating important rings. To make your ring noticed, you can wear your special or cocktail ring, etc. on it.
The right index finger is the place for a wedding ring during a traditional Jewish wedding ceremony. As a rule, a simple gold ring is used for this purpose. Often, after the ceremony, brides move the ring to the familiar ring finger, but some continue to wear it on the index finger. So take a closer look before hitting on the girl you like. Earlier in Russia, it was also a custom to wear a wedding ring on the index finger.
3. MIDDLE FINGER is the individuality of a person. Located in the center of the hand, the ring symbolizes a balanced life. And wearing a ring on the middle finger helps to make life more harmonious.
If you do not take into account the well-known gesture, then the middle finger is the largest, strongest and most courageous finger. Rings on it are surprisingly rare, partly, apparently, because it is located next to the index and 2 rings nearby become an obstacle to various small actions. So that the ring does not interfere, it is better to wear simple and small rings on the middle finger. However, wearing a ring on the middle finger is very comfortable, especially when you put a ring on it for the first time. In addition, unlike the ring finger, or, for example, the little finger, the symbolism of this finger is the safest, it does not create any secret meaning or confusion. Due to the central location, the middle finger symbolizes balance, it is associated with Saturn. Saturn's metal is lead, plain gray metals work well for this finger. Saturn stands for balance, justice, law, responsibility and introspection. Its stones are soothing, such as rose quartz, coral, aquamarine.
Left middle finger. If the ring is worn on this finger, it may mean nothing. But since it occupies a central place on the hand and is the longest finger, the ring on it can symbolize power and responsibility. This finger is a good choice if you want to show off the ring without making any statements about your life.
The right middle finger, like the left one, has no definite meaning and is open to interpretation. You can choose your own symbol and meaning for the ring.
4. The RING FINGER of the left hand has a direct connection with the heart. For this reason, a wedding ring is worn on this finger in most countries of the world. Wearing a ring on this finger will add positive emotions and affection to your life, as well as increase creativity and a taste for creativity. Wearing a ring on the ring finger of your right hand will make you more optimistic.
In most countries of the world, the ring finger is most often associated with a wedding ring - in the USA, a ring on the right hand indicates an engagement, on the left it symbolizes marriage. Most people choose a plain gold or silver ring, in part because the ring is worn all the time and is more comfortable. But this does not mean that people do not wear rings with large stones or obviously artistic and decorative rings on the ring finger. Most likely, in this case, they simply will not be perceived by the rings associated with marriage. At the same time, the rings are quite simple in shape, if they are made of different metals or have inscriptions, most likely they will.
Symbolically, the ring finger is associated with the Moon, beauty and creativity, and, obviously, romantic relationships. The metal of the moon is silver, so it's a natural choice for rings worn on the ring finger, unless it's an engagement ring. Wedding rings are traditionally more often made of gold. The finger is associated with Apollo. Precious stones - moonstone, jade, amethyst, turquoise.
Left ring finger. In most cases, a wedding ring is worn on this finger. Many believe that this custom comes from the belief of the ancient Egyptians, and then the Romans, that the blood through the veins from this finger goes straight to the heart (according to Apion, this is a nerve). But the ring on this finger may mean that its owner is just about to get married (engagement ring). A promise (romantic promise) ring can be worn on the same finger, despite the fact that the status of a formal proposal is assigned to the finger. Many young people choose to wear a purity ring (chastity ring) on this finger. A wedding ring on the ring finger of the left hand is worn in France, Italy, Great Britain, Ireland, Slovenia, Croatia, Sweden, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan. And also in Japan, Korea, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Canada, USA, Cuba and other countries. According to tradition, a wedding ring is moved to the left ring finger in Russia after a divorce, and widows and widowers wear two wedding rings (one's own and one's spouse).
Right ring finger. Although in many countries it is customary to wear a wedding ring on the left ring finger, there are countries in which the right ring finger is used for the same purpose. This applies to the Orthodox tradition and the countries of Central and Eastern Europe - Russia, Belarus, Serbia, Poland, Moldova, Ukraine. Also, a wedding ring is worn on the right hand in Germany, Spain, Austria, Greece, Norway, Georgia, India, Kazakhstan, Chile and a number of other countries.
5. LITTLE FINGER combines all relationships and communication with the outside world, as well as communication with other people. Wearing a ring on the little finger helps to improve relationships, especially in marriage, as well as in the business field. The little finger is also responsible for success in creativity, harmony in the emotional sphere and in the material world.
The little finger is often the choice of a person who wants to "state" something, since the little finger with the ring will attract the most attention - it is less bound by religious or cultural traditions and associations, therefore it carries your pure idea. That is, rings are worn on the little finger when they want to draw attention to this fact. People who are fond of astrology and palmistry will perceive this symbolism through a connection with the intellect and beliefs. The little finger symbolizes mercury, but this does not mean that you need to wear a ring made of this metal - it is liquid at room temperature and, moreover, highly toxic to humans. The patron is Mercury, which personifies intelligence, communications, beliefs and intuition, he patronizes crafts and trade. Traditionally, wearing rings on the little finger is associated with both intelligence and creativity, as well as with business. Stones - moonstone, amber, citrine.
The little finger of the right hand - in the 19th and early 20th centuries, in a number of countries, 2 rings on the little finger showed that the person was married (divorce ring). The lower ring was an engagement ring, a ring was put on top. Now this tradition is forgotten, some historians claim that American President Franklin Roosevelt wore such rings. Sometimes wearing a ring on the little finger is associated with the tradition of organized crime (mafia rings), such rings were worn by the Soprano clan, in particular. In the UK and other Western countries, men wore a signet ring on their left little finger, antique rings of this type are over 100 years old. Usually such rings have a coat of arms and in many families they were passed down from generation to generation (family rings with a coat of arms).
The little finger of the left hand is often used for rings indicating professional status. This is typical for engineers in a number of industries, for example, engineering, where the ring can indicate the achievement of a certain educational level. Graduates wear the ring not on the dominant hand so that it does not interfere. Professional rings can be simple iron, silver, stainless steel and other materials, often they have inscriptions or signs. All of the above is typical for right-handers, left-handers sometimes bring confusion to this entire symbolic system.
HOW MANY RINGS CAN I WEAR? ARE THERE LIMITATIONS?
It depends on the rings. For example, a set of several thin rings on one finger is perceived as one. A safe maximum can be considered 2-3 rings scattered on both hands. Care must be taken that the rings as a whole do not look too bright, so that this is not perceived as a caricature. It is better for men to wear one “declared” ring and nothing else, or in combination with an engagement ring. But there are no rules on this score, here only a sense of proportion and taste can become advisers. In the paintings of artists from different eras, jewels, including rings, are depicted in most portraits. It is interesting that most often people in portraits wear rings on the little finger, or on the little finger and index finger. On the ring finger and thumb, the rings occur almost equally and least often on the middle one.
