The Essential Guide To Men's Rings
What is the best type of ring for a man?
There isn’t a right or wrong answer to this question as it all comes down to your personal preference. To help you find the perfect design for you, let’s take a look at some of the most popular ring styles for men.
Signet rings
Most often worn on the pinky, signet rings might be small, but they pack a punch. These statement-making accessories usually feature personal symbols on them, such as a family crest or a university coat of arms. Whether you prefer to personalize your signet ring or leave it bare, you can’t go wrong with these stylish accessories.
Sterling silver fashion rings
Silver rings are versatile pieces that you can wear every day, no matter the occasion. From discrete silver bands to oversized rings topped with gemstones or unique intricate inlays, you have countless design options to choose from.
Men’s diamond rings
If you truly want to make a statement with your accessories, then look no further than men’s diamond rings. Whether it’s your wedding band or a fashion ring, these pieces are as eye-catching as it gets.
Men’s gold ring
Another tried and true classic, gold rings never go out of style. And the best part is that with designs in white, yellow, and rose gold, your options are endless. For a unique take on men’s gold rings, wear a couple of rings in different shades of gold together.
Wide bands
These bold designs can be either minimalist and plain or feature anything from Celtic carvings to unique inlays and intricate patterns. Not only are wide bands amazing statement-making accessories, but they also never go out of style - definitely a win-win.
Narrow bands
If you’re all about discreet jewelry, then opt for narrow bands instead. But don’t get fooled by their size - these rings don’t have to be boring. Narrow bands also come in a variety of styles and can feature various unique finishes - such as hammered, brushed, and sandstone rings.
How to get men's ring size?
It’s actually super easy to find the right ring size for you. Start by wrapping a piece of string or paper around your finger, then take a pen and mark where the ends meet. After you’ve done that, place your piece of paper or sting on top of a ruler to find out your ring size. Simple, right?
On which fingers can fashion rings be worn?
While how you choose to wear your rings also comes down to personal preference, you should keep in mind that your ring placement can carry a special meaning. For example, if you choose to wear a gold band on the ring finger of your left hand, people might think you’re married - and that might not be the message you’re trying to convey.
Here’s what each finger is associated with:
● Thumb:thumb rings are often associated with creative people, and are a great option for those who love wearing multiple rings at once.
● Index finger: rings worn on this finger have been long associated with powerful figures throughout history - such as kings and generals - and they still convey authority.
● Middle finger: as the midpoint of the hand and the longest finger, this is the perfect placement for big statement rings and to create a balanced look.
● Ring finger: this is the finger that carries the most symbolism across cultures and religions, and is often associated with marriage and commitment.
● Pinky:although this is the smallest finger, pinky rings can often create the biggest statement. For a timeless design, opt for a meaningful signet ring.
