Many men have been choosing to wear rings for years. And we are not talking about the classic wedding rings, but about the simple ring that adds to their overall style.

The truth is that rings on men's fingers send some message, such as the social status of the man who wears them, wealth, devotion or that he is engaged.

But did you know that the ring acquires a different meaning, depending on the finger where you will wear it?
Right or left hand?

The hand doesn't play that big of a role, except for wedding rings. As a rule, the Orthodox wear their engagement ring on their left hand, while their wedding ring on their right. In contrast, Catholics always wear their wedding rings on their left hand.

Generally, the right hand is seen as the active and dominant hand, with which we shake hands, while the left hand represents our character and beliefs. These perceptions, of course, have been prevailed by right-handers, so a left-hander can reverse them.
On the little finger


A ring at this point is a sign of dependence in business and personal relationships. It also expresses the relationship one has with oneself. Wearing a ring is a sign of honor, but wearing numerous rings is usually a sign that the person wearing them has low self-esteem and wants to attract the attention of others. Of course, there is the (non-existent) opinion that mobsters wear their rings on the little finger. The little finger is somewhat isolated from the rest of the body, so a ring there draws even more attention.
In the middle

The ring finger is the finger where we wear our wedding rings. In the Orthodox religion, on the left ring finger we wear the engagement ring, while on the right we wear it after the wedding, declaring that we are engaged. Wedding rings are usually gold or silver and simple, without a lot of frills. Symbolically, the ring finger is associated with the sun, the source of creation and beauty, and with romantic relationships, hence its use as the engagement finger.
On the middle finger

The middle finger is the largest, but you don't often see men wearing a ring on it, because it's next to the index finger and a ring gets in the way of manual work (so those who do, prefer thin rings). However, those who wear rings on the middle finger middle finger, they feel confident and confident, because it is in the most central and stable part of their hand, while it gives masculinity. Also, there is no way the ring could be mistaken for a wedding ring. It symbolizes our goal in life, our characteristics, secrecy, the things that are most important to us and materialism.
At the index

We all have a tendency to keep the index finger "clean", as it is the finger we use the most, but in reality a ring on the index finger does not affect our movements that much. In the past, the index finger was the common finger where men wore their rings. The pointer is the best place to wear a family heirloom and shows a dynamic man with leadership skills and ambition.
On the thumb

In most societies, the thumb ring is a sign of wealth and influence, and is preferred by men who wear multiple rings together. The thumb is cut off from the rest of the fingers and so the hand does not look loaded if you wear 2 or 3 rings together. Gestures involving the thumb (such as “thumbs up” – pp. thumb means thumb in English) are about friendship and interpersonal relationships, so if you wear a ring on your thumb, you are an optimistic and sociable man who gives priority in his friendships.
What to watch out for

Men who wear rings are confident and feel comfortable and confident with their style. They know how to subtly attract attention and stand out.

What you must remember to avoid a "loaded" look, is not to wear several rings together on the same hand (eg if you are married, if you want to wear another ring on the right hand, prefer the thumb, otherwise wear it on the left .Also, don't wear more than 2 rings on the hand you wear your watch, because the effect will be too much and you don't want that).
