Rings on Different Fingers: What's The Meaning of Each Finger?

Men and women from many cultures have been wearing rings for centuries. It’s not uncommon to see multiple rings on one finger, in fact, they’re called stacking rings! However, unlike stacking rings, wearing many rings on multiple fingers is a stylish sight to behold. If done right, it can even look strikingly fashionable!

Wearing rings on different fingers is a modern fashion statement, but did you know that wearing a ring on a specific finger actually means something? Here’s all you need to know about styling what rings mean on each finger. 

Thumb

The thumb is a finger of willpower, assertion, and strength. Rings on thumbs are often associated with assertiveness and influence. In ancient times, rulers would wear heavy, expensive rings on their thumb as a sign of power and assertion.

However, in modern times, wearing rings on your thumb is less of trying to express dominance, and more of a stylish fashion statement.

Index Finger

The index finger is the finger of leadership, confidence, and authority. Besides, it is also the most dominant finger! Wearing a ring on this finger stands out a lot as it’s easily noticeable.

In modern times, wearing a ring on the index finger is the second most common finger to wear a ring on. However, make sure you get your rings sized correctly, as it may feel a little awkward to work around with something on your most dominant finger.

Middle Finger

Did you know? Some cultures believed that the middle finger was connected directly to the heart! People from these cultures wear their engagement ring to the middle finger on their left hand instead of wearing them on the ring finger.

In modern times, the middle finger is the finger of balance and responsibility. Not many people wear their rings on their middle finger, but don’t let it stop you from trying out new fashion styles!

Ring Finger

In modern times, the significance of ring finger reflected through wearing a ring on your ring finger, universally known to symbolize love, devotion and commitment to your lover. Wearing matching couples rings or wedding ring on your ring fingers is a grand way for you and your lover to tell the world that the both of you are in a committed relationship.

Little Finger

Traditionally, men would wear signet rings on the little finger that also known as pinky finger, specifically the one on the left hand. Signet rings usually bear a family crest. As such, wearing a ring on your little finger carries the meaning of family heritage or fraternal associations.
