Have you ever stopped to think what the meaning of the rings is according to the finger where it is worn? Rings are one of the most important accessories when it comes to completing your outfit. Have you ever heard that hands are one of the first things people notice when they meet you? So that's it. For example, in body language your hands can say more about you than your words, so it is really important that your hands look their best to give the best version of you.

As we tell you below, the way we wear this accessory and, above all, the finger where we place our ring, can have very different meanings, so it is truly important to take care of these details.

On which fingers should we put the rings?

Believe it or not, as we explained above, in body language the hands are a key element. In addition, they can be the most essential jewels. Wearing a ring is always a good option and even if you have a favorite ring, surely you have forgotten to put it on at some point and you have felt that feeling that something was missing.

Trends also influence us when it comes to putting on our silver rings. Without realizing it, there are trends that little by little are established and we adapt them to ourselves. Like for example wearing a signet ring on the little finger, wearing rings at different heights of the fingers of the hand or filling the fingers of the hand with rings, with the boom of minimalist jewelry, because it is becoming more and more fashionable to wear all the hand full of rings. Whether on the index, middle, ring or little finger, let no finger be left undecorated! And it is that today there is a wide variety of rings, where you can choose and unleash your creativity and express it with your jewelry.

Trends aside, have you ever wondered what the meaning of wearing a ring on one finger or another is, because we anticipate that wearing a ring on the little finger is not the same as wearing it on the middle finger.

So we are going to tell you the different meanings of wearing rings on each finger.

Rings on the big toe or thumb

There are different meanings for the same finger. The thumb, for example, in relation to the family, is the representation of the parents. On the other hand, in ancient China, wearing a ring on this finger was a symbol of belonging to a military rank.

It will also mean different things depending on which hand it is placed on.

If you wear a ring on the thumb of your right hand, it means that you are an introverted person.
If, on the other hand, you wear it on the left hand, it means that you are a passionate person.

Rings on the index finger

The index finger represents siblings and friends. In the same way that it happened with the thumb, the hand where we wear this ring will also influence its meaning:

Wearing a ring on the index finger of your right hand means that you are a powerful woman, with great self-esteem but not very dominant.
If you wear it on the index finger of your left hand, it means that you like to be followed and lead the group. So, if you are a born leader, you know where to wear your ring.

Rings on the middle finger

The middle finger is you. The middle finger is the finger that is in the middle of our hand so it represents balance. It refers to a personality that seeks emotional balance in addition to a balance in their mood.

If you wear the ring on the middle finger of your right hand, it means that you do not know how to differentiate between good and evil.
If you wear it on the middle finger of your left hand, it means that you usually need the people around you to make some decisions for you.

Rings on the ring finger

This is the finger on which it is more traditional to wear a ring. In some cultures this is the finger where the engagement ring is placed. The ring finger represents your family.

If you decide to put a ring on the ring finger of your right hand, it means that you are a perfectionist and capable of bringing out the good in others, as well as being a person who wants to take advantage of your creativity. It is also the hand where the engagement ring is placed.
If, on the other hand, you wear it on the ring finger of your left hand, you will possibly be a very creative person with a lot of ingenuity when it comes to facing challenges and solving problems.
 
Rings on the little finger

The rings on the little finger, is one of those old fashions in which it was very common to see both men and women and that has returned as one of the key trends in this 2021. This finger also represents the children.

People who usually wear a ring on this little finger of the right hand are usually people with great sensitivity.
On the other hand, if you wear it on the little finger of your left hand, it means that you have great patience and the ability to listen and communicate with others.


For the writing of this article we have considered a generic type of ring that can be placed on any of the fingers in the traditional way. However, it should be noted that there is an area that we have not mentioned in the entire post and that also has its specific ring. These are midi rings, designed to be worn on the central phalanx of any of our fingers.
