On which finger do men wear a ring?

Rings appeared in ancient times and at that time served not as decoration, but as a talisman and amulet. They were worn by men: tribal leaders, warriors, priests, in Ancient Rome - senators, patricians, members of secret societies. In Rus', the ring was worn on the thumb by the monarch as a symbol of supreme power. In the 20th century, the wearing of such an item as a ring by men practically disappeared. But in the 21st century, wearing this jewelry is becoming more and more popular. Palmists, magicians, and astrologers are convinced that the choice of place for the ring is very significant, as it can correct fate and character. Therefore, it is important on which finger a man wears a ring.

What are they made from?

The very first rings were made from wood, bones or carved from stone. When people discovered metals, they began to make rings from iron and bronze. Ceramic and glass models appeared.

Gradually, all these materials practically replaced gold and silver, less often - platinum, with inserts of stones - ornamental, natural, semi-precious, precious.

Modern jewelers offer men's stylish rings from:

• stainless steel, reminiscent of edged weapons;
• strong rings made of titanium - the material from which spaceships are made;
• made of ultra-strong tungsten carbide, characterized by the fact that its polished mirror surface cannot be scratched or bent.

Accessories that combine several of the above materials look fashionable.

Features of wearing an engraved ring

The most popular ring worn by men was and remains the signet. It was originally used as a seal: a portion of the signet, with the owner's initials or coat of arms carved or engraved, was applied to wax or sealing wax on the envelope, and the letter was sealed. To ensure that the print came out correctly, the image on the engraving was made mirror-like. The recipient of the letter could identify the sender by the imprint.

Currently, instead of initials or a coat of arms, some kind of pattern is applied to the signet. It can be engraved both on the ring itself and on the stone inserted into it.

On which finger does a man wear a signet ring? At one time, rules for wearing a signet were introduced in France, some of which are still preserved in this and other countries:

• men who are the head of the clan wear it on the ring finger of their left hand;
• other members of the clan need to put it on the ring finger or little finger of the right hand;
• the design should be positioned with the top part facing the nail;
• you need to put the ring on with the engraving facing outwards;
• Engaged men wear a ring engraved on their palm.

Interesting: certain types of rings were considered magical. These include the Freemasons' rings and the award badge of SS members - the Death's Head ring.
