Thumb Ring
Thumb rings are quite common worldwide, but you’ll need confidence to wear one in the U.S. In most cultures, a thumb ring on a man is a sign of wealth or influence, and they tend to be broad or bulky both to reflect that and fit your thumb comfortably.
A thumb ring is also often the natural choice for men who want to wear multiple rings on the same hand since it’s farther away from the others. If you want to wear a thumb ring, keep it bold but simple so it doesn’t overpower your look.

How to Wear Multiple Rings
Should you wear multiple rings? What is the maximum number you should wear? The answer is really up to you and your personal taste.
The most traditional way to wear multiple rings is to stack your wedding band and your pinky ring all on one finger.
Prince Charles, for example, wears his pinky ring stacked with his wedding band, as is royal tradition.
Some men wear rings on every finger, even stacking them up on the same finger. Wearing multiple rings isn’t uncommon for hip hop artists, rockstars and bikers.
For the rest of us, you’ll want to think carefully!
Most men, if they are married, will wear their wedding ring on the left hand and a style ring on their right-hand pinky finger or right-hand ring finger.
In general, wearing more than one ring on one finger tends to look clumsy, so if you like multiple rings it is a good idea to space them out across both your hands, leaving gaps in between.
Our advice is it’s better to go with a bold ring on one hand plus your wedding band. If you are not sure, less is more – unless you’re Johnny Depp!
Mixing and Matching Metals?
If you are going for the multiple ring look, should they all match? There’s no strict answer, but conventional wisdom says it looks better if the metals match.
