Right thumb - No statement

The concepts of fingers in palmistry

Some people believe that finger ring choices can also have mystical or magical meanings. Palmistry, the practice of reading the lines in the hands of a person to determine character and luck, connects the hands and fingers with attributes of the Greek gods. Fingers also have metaphysical properties and the combination of all these finger symbolisms can affect the way you wear your rings.

    The Index: This finger is named for Jupiter to symbolize self-confidence, leadership, ambition and spirituality. Choose a ring with lapis lazuli stones, amethyst or blue topaz.
    The middle finger: The middle finger, Saturn, means balance, justice, law, responsibility and soul search. Soothing stones such as pink quartz, coral and aquamarine are suitable for rings.
    Middle: The Ring represents Apollo and symbolizes relationships, creativity and love of beauty. Gemstones include moonstone, jade, amethyst, sapphire and turquoise.
   Little finger: Mercury rules the little finger, which means intelligence, communication, persuasion and intuition. Choose rings with stones such as moonstone, amber or citrine.
