Symbolism Of Wearing Rings On Different Fingers

How do you think wearing a ring on certain finger affects the opinions of others? Do you even care? Should you?  The reality is that rings send a message. For thousands of years, people have worn them to signal status, wealth, commitment, and association. Does having a ring on a particular finger signify even something more?

If you like observing and analyzing people, simply pay attention on their hands: an easy clue to the personality and subtle preferences are displayed through the choice and placement of rings.

Is there any  psychological significance, cultural relevance, family affiliations, symbol of authority or an allegiance? People use rings on certain fingers to enhance a certain type of energy. Most ancient texts and cultures advocate the wearing of rings on particular fingers to induce a mood. For example – wear a ring on your thumb if you need to express your individuality.

The positioning of the rings can tell a lot about personality of the wearer. 

 Right Or Left Hand?

Your dominant hand usually has more significance in displaying parts of your personality than your non-dominant hand.

If you are right-handed, then the right hand is your active or giving hand while the left is your receiving or passive hand, and other way around.

Rings on your dominant hand are related to a conscious thought process. Wearing rings on non-dominant hand express person's unconscious mind. Also each finger is associated with certain planet.

1. Thumb – Neptune
