Should men wear rings? What do rings mean and on which finger should they be worn? Let’s unlock some basic rules and guidelines for wearing rings.

Wearing a ring is perfectly acceptable as long as you understand the message you are sending. Rings can make a statement about you to the world, so make sure you understand what that statement is.

A ring can reveal your marital status (therefore your availability), your achievements, your beliefs, your fashion sense and even your social status.

Tradition is also important if you want to wear a class ring, Super Bowl Ring (lucky you!), fraternal ring, Shriner’s or any other organization’s ring which identifies you as a member of a specific group or club to other members.

Most of these rings are worn on the right ring finger, but these traditions often have their own special rules.

Personal Statement/Style

If you are confident about your fashion sense, like to be flamboyant or flaunt your sense of power, wearing one or more rings can add to your personal style if you choose the right one(s).

Some guys who are very confident with their own personal style (or have been into fashion for a long time) like to wear several rings on a daily basis.

If you’re just getting into rings, we recommend sticking with one or two.

Comfort

Remember that wearing a ring on certain fingers can be uncomfortable so you will want to test out the weight and feel of it before you make a commitment.

You also do not want metals from two rings grinding against each other on your hand if you are into the multiple ring look. Everyday comfort is key.

Speaking of comfort, many people opt for silicone rings instead of metal ones. These are essential for medical professionals, firefighters, military personnel, etc.
