Pinky Rings

Did you know that your pinky was historically reserved for a signet ring? Many would have a signet ring on their pinky to sign legal documentation by pressing hot wax with their ring, which would allow a seal to be created. 

Although this practice isn’t popular anymore, many modern men’s rings are designed for a pinky finger. Pinky rings are a popular choice because they don’t get in the way of daily tasks. These rings are also immensely popular because they can be made out of almost any material, including plastic, silicone, leather, gold, white gold, and sterling silver. 

Why Allergy Testing Before Buying a Men’s Ring is Important

Have you ever bought a ring and, after wearing it, experienced itching, burning, swelling, or a rash? If so, it’s likely you had an allergic reaction to your ring. Often these allergic reactions are caused by common materials found in rings like nickel, chromium, and cobalt. 

Unfortunately for many men, the most common metal that causes allergic reactions is nickel. This ingredient is present in most alloys, meaning you will have to purchase a men’s ring that is unalloyed or pure. Some of the pure and unalloyed men’s ring materials include 24-carat gold, silver, and tungsten. 

Before experiencing a reaction, to be on the safe side or after experiencing a reaction, you need to see a doctor before buying a ring. A doctor can perform an allergy test to determine what type of metal or alloy you are allergic to. An allergy test doesn’t take very long, and you will likely find out the results quickly. After you find out what metals or materials are causing you to have an allergic reaction, you can avoid purchasing those types of rings.
