Rings and the Fingers They are Worn on

Rings consist of jewelry items worn around the finger of a person for various purposes. The materials used to obtain these jewelry pieces are also various, ranging from wood, bone or plastic to glass, gemstones, precious metals or who knows what else. The materials used for fabrication may also be combined, a common combination being precious metals with a gemstone.

Rings consist of circles. In every culture around the world the circle symbolizes unity, eternity, power or any other significance that can be drawn from its perfect shape. Each culture has its own variations of this perfect circle worn around a finger.

Magic and myth is also associated with these jewelry items. They were believed to be related to the sun, moon and gods, thus giving this small item the power to protect the one who wears it. Those ancient beliefs are the ones that still influence the way we wear the rings today.

Since you have two hands, it is also very important on which hand you wear a ring. Each hand is believed to be a level of one’s mind. For instance the left hand is a representation of one’s subconscious, which consists of beliefs, attitude and instinct. The right hand, a reflection of the conscious state of mind, also depicts the logic and awareness of the things around us.

The significance of each hand is also very important when it comes to wearing a ring. If one should choose to wear a ring on the left hand, they wish to enhance the powers of the finger on which the ring is worn. If the choice would be the right hand, then the wearer desires to control life and the actions within it.

This brings us to the fingers and their significance when a ring is worn. First of all the one with the greatest importance, the thumb an independent finger that works together with all the others in order to grant us our freedom. This is a symbol of will power, freedom and independence of action and thoughts, something that defines us as humans.

The index finger, the one next to the thumb is also very important. This is a great example of power and authority, something that can be seen throughout history. Wearing a ring on this finger is something associated with ambition and leadership.

At the center of one’s hand is the middle finger. This is mainly associated with the role we play in our entire life. It symbolizes our identity and the things central in our world. Whoever wears rings on this finger is usually very balanced, but seeks to be in the center of attention.

The fourth finger, the one commonly known as the ring finger, has a very special significance because this is the one with the direct connection to one’s heart. Rings worn on this finger are a great symbol of creativity and knowing your artistic side that rests within you.

The little finger, the smallest of them all, is the link a person has with the outside world. This is the one that symbolizes our relationships with the people around us. When one wears rings on this finger they show great confidence and independence on all relationships.
