Thumb ring - what does it mean?

We all know that a ring on the ring finger is a sign that a person is legally married. Sometimes girls wear the engagement ring given to them on this same finger, and sometimes they simply put the ring on this finger so that the opposite sex does not show their attention so actively. But few people know why rings are worn on other fingers and what this could mean.

Various jewelry, including rings, began to be worn quite a long time ago. Thus, in ancient times, jewelry on the thumb was worn in order to hold a weapon more firmly in one’s hands and to draw a bow.

But the inhabitants of Greece put jewelry on this finger to strengthen male power, as it was a symbol of the male organ. Women who wear rings in the same way are most likely stronger and more strong-willed. Fragile and delicate creatures are unlikely to choose this place for precious jewelry.

These are people who really want to assert themselves and the method doesn’t matter. But most of all they are interested in leadership and sexual superiority. Therefore, those who wear jewelry in this way should take a special look.

As a rule, this way of wearing jewelry is chosen by rather impulsive and very energetic people. They don't always follow what they say, and sometimes they can say things that you wouldn't expect from them. If you enter into an argument with such a person, it is unlikely that everything will end peacefully, since it is almost impossible to convince him.

Some who have such character traits deliberately place a ring on the finger of Mars, in order to remind yourself in especially emotional moments and restrain yourself a little, to be more reasonable. Well, if there is a ring on both hands at once, then this person is actively working on himself and trying to find a common language with everyone, to be more sociable.

The meaning of the thumb ring

Left hand

The significance of which hand the thumb ring is on is only for women. It is believed that if she puts jewelry on this finger, then she openly declares her gay orientation. And it is on this hand that it means that the girl is free to have a relationship with another girl.

Right hand

This hand is worn by gay girls who are already in a couple and want to openly declare this to everyone around them, and especially to those like them.

But even if you know these features and notice the ring in this place, it is not necessary that its owner is also aware.

Perhaps she was simply given a gift that did not fit her in size, and she was simply forced to put it on this finger. Maybe she just likes to add jewelry and wear it in unusual places.


What does a ring on your thumb mean?

At the girl's

Since the thumb is the finger of the planet Mars, it is the advantage of men to wear rings on it, at least this was the case in ancient times. But some women who want to be on an equal footing with men and have the same rights and freedoms also try to equate themselves to them in this way.

And the girls who learn about this try to bring this way of self-expression and their own manner of interpretation to our country. This is their way of saying that they are not afraid to admit their sexuality.


In men

If a man puts a ring on his thumb, it means he knows exactly why he is doing it. Self-confident and impulsive natures try to attract the attention of the opposite sex.

After all, not everyone today dares to stand out in this way. In addition, this is a protection of his masculine power, which all men guard so carefully and try to preserve for many years.

At one time, decorations at this site were a sign of belonging to a certain place in the hierarchy at the local level. They were to be worn by both men and women. Celtic patterns were used for this.

Today, the safest Celtic pattern is two hands holding a heart.
