Sterling silver rings

What is the meaning of the silver rings on your fingers?

Beyond the cultural symbology of silver rings, there is a meaning that is more related not to the fact of wearing rings but, rather, to where we wear them. Did you know that wearing the ring on one finger or the other can represent different things?

It is true that one of the most recent fashions is to carry practically the whole hand full of rings: the most modern, youthful and daring designs embrace this trend as a must. However, perhaps before putting your sterling silver rings on one finger or the other, you would like to know what is the meaning of wearing them on each of your fingers, right?

We start with the “little” finger, the little finger. This finger is related to the ability to communicate and transmit ideas. Wearing a ring on your little finger can also show a rebellious and nonconformist attitude.

The ring finger is internationally known as the finger on which the engagement ring is placed. The reason for wearing an engagement ring on the ring finger has a sense where romanticism and myth come together since the time of the Romans, who believed that the "vena amoris" or "vein of the Romans" passed through this finger. A finger, the ring finger, which represents the emotional connection and the affective bond.

And what about the hand? In Spain, for example, tradition says that the ring is placed on the right hand until the wedding day, when it is moved to the left hand, the one closest to the heart.

And we move on to the middle finger, the heart. If we tell you that it is the finger that is in the center, would you be able to guess the meaning of wearing a silver ring on the middle finger? Women who wear a silver ring on this finger are emotionally balanced. In most cases, people who wear only one ring use this finger to show it off.

We move on to the index finger, "the finger of authority." Wearing a ring on the index finger has a connotation of power. A finger that, throughout history, has been chosen by leaders to show their authority. And it is not for less, since the index, as its name indicates, is the finger that "points" or "indicates".

And we finish with the thumb. The meaning of wearing a silver ring on the thumb varies depending on the hand. If, for example, you are right-handed and you carry it in your active hand, it represents authority and strength; quite the opposite of carrying it in the passive hand, whose meaning will be more of submission. Beyond that, and following the active or passive hand rule, depending on where you wear it, it can also mean extroversion or introversion. You identify?
