Which finger to wear the ring?

From ancient times to this day, the ring is a symbol of eternal love, power and power.

According to the norms of Chinese philosophy, the entire Universe, including people, consists of five primary elements: earth, fire, metal, wood and water. Their balance is responsible for the harmony of the physical, psychological and spiritual state of man. The fingers on the hand symbolically denote these elements.

In psycho-spiritual and palmistic practices, the significance of the right and left parts of the body is distinguished. One person’s hand is dominant (the right one is right-handed, the left one is left-handed) and the other is passive. Even in battle, a warrior fights with one hand, and carries a shield in the other. Therefore, the rings on the active hand will stimulate certain life processes, and on the inactive one they will protect against external negative influences and weaken our own energy flows.

The first element is water. It is identified with the flow of blessed energy and abundance. She is represented by the little finger.

He is responsible for the communicative gift: the ability to listen carefully and speak convincingly. Negotiating talent and transactional intuition bring wealth that depends on its energy.And even such important aspects in human life as relationships with the opposite sex, sensuality, feelings of love and happiness, are associated with the energy of the smallest of the “five brothers”.

Strengthen the beneficial flow will allow a ring of pure gold on the little finger of his right hand. Silver with gilding and a small stone of green color will make this flow intermittent, and will provide an opportunity to alternate periods of business activity and rest. And on the left hand, the little finger is better left unadorned, otherwise there is a real possibility of narrowing the circle of friends, limiting sources of income and problems on the personal front.

Symbolizes the primary element - a tree. It represents vitality, activity, growth and self-development.

The thumb serves as a source of replenishment of the energy of the remaining fingers and absorbs its excess, thus maintaining energy balance.

Associated with logic and decision making. To strengthen pragmatism and the ability to reason sensibly, it is recommended to wear a gold ring with a yellow, orange or red stone on this finger. If necessary, weaken the control of the mind, trust intuition and use the spiritual potential should wear a silver ring with stones of cold colors.

Corresponds to the fire element. It is a carrier of powerful energy. In esoterics, it is believed that it is better to communicate with the Universe by lifting up this particular finger without any decorations.

The pointing finger symbolizes pride and thirst for power. Gold rings and signets on a dominant hand are a positive sign of a strong-willed person who seeks to always keep everything under control and knows how to manage people. The “ring of power” on a passive hand can testify to the vanity, arrogance and megalomania of its owner.

According to the spiritual teachings of the East, wearing a strong metal jewelry on the index finger, a woman can activate qualities that contradict her natural principle. The strength of a woman lies in her weakness, therefore, to achieve happiness and harmony in her personal life, a proud disposition and leadership functions are best left to men.

It represents the elements of the earth. The middle finger is considered karmic. Choose a jewelry for him should be very careful. Gold can strengthen, and silver can not only weaken, but also delay the action of karma.

Graceful rings with stones of yellow, terracotta, cream colors on the person’s right (acting) hand indicate his decency and reliability. On the left (inactive) - about excessive suspicion and suspiciousness. Fanciful, extravagant jewelry on the middle finger betray a narcissistic personality who considers himself “irresistible”.

It symbolizes the fifth element in Chinese philosophy - metal, and the sixth chakra - ajna (third eye) - in Indian. The energy of metal brings prosperity, abundance and power to the universe into human life. And the third eye gives wisdom to abandon categorical evaluations, and allows you to see a world in which the existence of “yes” and “no” at the same time is possible. In ancient Egypt, it was believed that both men and women in the ring finger begin the "artery of love", going straight to the heart.

The golden engagement ring enhances the mutual understanding and love of the spouses and stimulates the energy of self-realization and success.

Recently, almost forgotten traditions of matchmaking and engagement are being revived. A young man presents his beloved a ring on his ring finger. And if she accepts it, then the engagement is considered to have taken place. Only after this, young people become the bride and groom.

It is not advisable to give a jewelry made of silver and with a stone of blue or green color. Such a gift will become an energy obstacle to the realization of a cherished desire to marry. There is an option to postpone the wedding celebration or its cancellation.

The engagement ring is worn on the right hand before marriage (regardless of which girl’s hand is dominant). After the wedding, you can continue to wear it on one finger with a wedding ring, put it on the ring finger of your left hand, or put it in a box.

There is some unspoken tradition of wearing an engagement ring after the death of a spouse on the ring finger of his left hand. But this rule is not a canon requiring mandatory enforcement. The ring can be left on the right hand or removed completely.

In esoterics, it is believed that gold jewelry tend to accumulate the negative energy of its owner. In this regard, it is not advisable to give the ring of the deceased to children or pass it by inheritance without prior energy cleaning. Keeping the memory of deceased husbands, widows can wear their rings on the same hand as their own, or on the other, or hang on their chests like a pendant on a chain.

As life shows, male widowers are rarely prone to fetishism. In addition, female jewelry is unlikely to suit a man in style and size. A possible option to preserve the memory of the deceased spouse is to melt the wedding rings into a stylish signet with the initials of the once beloved woman.

If the joint life did not work out, and there was a separation, then it is better to return the ring to the former spouse or to put it on his left hand. Even forgotten and abandoned in the old box, it stores the energy of the already dissolved marriage, and divorced people will have difficulty in building new relationships.

Gold is a very strong metal, so that its force turns to suppress the energy of a broken union, the ring should be on the left hand.

It would seem that, in addition to classic rings, jewelers can offer to decorate fingers. Of course, you can experiment with the form, with a combination of metals, with the color and size of the stones. But to come up with something new, not similar and at the same time convenient and beautiful, is almost impossible. Often, fashion designers and designers, when creating their masterpieces, turn to the past. That is how long-forgotten rings on the phalanges of the fingers came into fashion.

Back in the pre-Christian era, rings that covered almost the entire finger were popular in Egypt. Under the guise of decoration, a mortal surprise was hidden - a miniature container filled with poison.

In medieval Europe, gold wedding rings appeared and the tradition to wear them on the wedding day. But the brides were then very young (12-15 years old). Over the years, thin teenage girls turned into chic women with curvy shapes, but the size of the wedding rings did not change. Gold was an expensive pleasure.

Married matrons were forced to bear a testimony of their allegiance on the phalanx of the finger where they could squeeze it. And, as is often the case in history, a forced measure first became a habitual phenomenon, and then in the Renaissance, thanks to jewelers, it turned into a fashion trend - subtle elegant gold jewelry on the middle phalanx of the finger.

In the 20th century, phalanx rings became widespread among punks and rockers. Like all the stylistic attributes of these informal subcultures, they were "heavy" made of shiny steel and silver in the shape of a human skull, spider or animal head.

In the 21st century, unusual accessories first entered high fashion, dubbed the “midi ring”. This happened thanks to the extraordinary Jean-Paul Gaultier, the French fashion designer and the “fashion bully”. He presented jewelry worn on the upper phalanges of the fingers and imitating a nail plate.

Currently, midi rings have become a real hit. Their assortment is great: gold, silver, made of various alloys, decorated with embossed stamped pattern, decorated with precious, semiprecious stones or rhinestones.

Most midi jewelry rings can be called very conditionally.Most often they do not have a closed shape.

Flat strips of metal, narrow or wide, tightly wrapping around one of the phalanges of the finger. They have an undoubted advantage - they do not need to be selected in size. The open form allows you to put this jewelry on almost any finger, which makes it possible to combine several rims on different phalanges of all five fingers.

Outwardly they resemble a spring, they encircle the phalanges of the fingers in several turns (from two or more). The favorite form of many designers is a decoration in the form of a golden or silver snake.

They are worn only on the upper phalanges and are decorated with overlays in the form of nail plates. Silver-colored zirconium metal rings look great with a white or golden hue. Lining can be trimmed with zircon - a semi-precious artificial stone, which, because of its beauty and brilliance, is called the "little brother of diamond." Such an accessory is cheaper than a gold jewelry with diamonds, and looks just as immaculate and magnificent.

They consist of two links (for example, two rims or a rim and a spring) connected by a chain. The links can be of the same type (for example, made of one metal and without stones), but can be dissimilar (from different metals, or one link is made of metal, and the second is decorated with stones).

The manner of wearing this accessory depends on the length of the connecting chain. If the chain is short, then both links are put on one finger: wide on the phalanx from below, and narrow - from above. If the length of the chain allows, then the links can be worn on different fingers (most often these are medium-nameless or nameless-pinky pairs).

It covers the whole finger like little armor. It consists of several links that make up a single ensemble and create the illusion of integrity. In fact, they are connected by inconspicuous hinges to give the finger mobility.

The tradition of decorating legs came from hot India, where the feet have been an object of worship since ancient times: they are washed as a sign of respect, they are sung as a symbol of sexuality and eroticism, many rituals are associated with them. Indian women even wear a wedding ring on the second toe of their left foot.

In countries with a cold climate, there is not much time to wear open shoes. The summer period is the best time to demonstrate the beauty of the feet.

The types of rings on the legs are not so diverse, but no less beautiful and original.

• Classic thin rings. Difficulties may arise when donning such jewelry, because the upper part of the finger is usually wider than the base.
• Unclosed rings and snake rings (in one incomplete turn). The best and most convenient option for accessories on your feet, especially if made of non-oxidizing metal: gold, silver or zirconium.
• Silicone rings. On the polymer rim can be a spectacular top with a lining in the form of a pattern of small stones to hide a not so elegant silicone base. In addition to decorative, they perform a hygienic function, protecting the interdigital space from rubbing.
• Rings with a chain. The most unusual and elegant decoration that makes a woman’s leg elegant. The chain connects the ring on the middle finger and the bracelet on the ankle. It is important that both accessories are in the same style.

A circle is a figure that has been credited with magical properties since antiquity. A closed line without beginning and end is a sign of eternity. It provides protection on the physical and astral level. The space inside this line is closed to the penetration of someone else's negative energy. Perhaps that is why magic items were often made in the form of a ring.

The functions of the amulet are clear from the name, it stores and protects its owner from evil forces and negative external influences.Each amulet is created to perform a specific task: from the evil eye, from poverty, from illness. For a protective item to be effective, it must be in contact with the human body.

A ring is an optimal form for maintaining well-being and harmony in life. On a finger, wearing a ring-amulet is advised to those who may face the evil envy of ill-wishers, which can destroy not only material well-being and psychological comfort, but also physical health.

The appeal to the Almighty “Save and Preserve”, applied to the rim, is a powerful defense for a truly believing Christian. By the strength of the energy effect, the consecrated ring is comparable to an icon or a pectoral cross. It is recommended to wear such a talisman on one of the three fingers of the triple of the right hand.

It is put on the ring finger of the right hand and only after the wedding ceremony. Other jewelry from this finger should be removed. The wedding ring is a more powerful talisman of family happiness than an engagement ring.

With a relief image of Christian shrines, guardian angels or saints. A prayer is engraved on a wide rim. Despite the jewelry beauty, you should not wear a guard ring as a simple decoration.

Wearing any accessory with an unknown pattern, you can not only ward off luck, but also attract all sorts of adversity in your life. Such amulets are best purchased in specialized esoteric shops, where you can get specialist advice. And before putting it on, it is necessary to conduct energetic cleaning with four elements: hold candles (fire) over the fire, clean with salt (earth), rinse in running water (water) and smoke with incense (air).

It is known that stones have a certain energy, which, coming into resonance with a person’s bioenergetics, can influence his physical and mental state. A stone in a talisman enhances its protective qualities, acting for a person as a lightning rod, taking on the blows of negative energy from the outside. You only need to know what power is hidden in the stone. For example, carnelian will help from adultery, and emerald - from grief and sadness, ruby ​​- from unrequited love, sardonyx - from infidelity and lies, and amber and agate - from evil eye and disease.

Every nation has traditions, including those related to jewelry. Muslim holy tradition (Sunnah) tells of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, who is an example and guide in the life of any Muslim.

Muhammad himself had four rings for different occasions. The most famous of them is silver with an engraved inscription "Muhammad Rasulullah", which meant the Messenger of Allah Muhammad. The Prophet carried it on his little finger and signed messages for them.

The Sunnah refers to prohibitions and recommendations regarding jewelry for Muslim men:

1. Any gold jewelry is prohibited. So that a man financially provides for his family, and does not adorn himself, and does not shine in the sun like a doll.
2. Iron rings are prohibited. For Allah will not be able to cleanse the hand that wore such an ornament. Allowed only to decorate the ring with this and similar metals. According to the imams, Chinese iron adorned one of the rings of Muhammad.
3. It is allowed to wear jewelry only on two fingers (ring and little fingers) and preferably on the right hand. It was forbidden to decorate the remaining fingers so as not to become like the “people of Loot,” the prophet who permitted the intercourse of men.
4. Before visiting the toilet, the ring with the name of Allah inscribed on it should be removed. And putting it on is allowed only after a small and large bath.
5. If you choose a ring with a stone, it can be a ruby ​​to prevent poverty, agate from grief and sadness, as well as from sudden death and undeserved punishment.Yachts, topaz, emerald and crystal were considered useful for men.

Women are not affected by these prohibitions. They are allowed to wear many rings, from any metal and on any fingers. Moreover, the well-being of the family and the man’s ability to provide for his wife is measured by the amount of gold jewelry on her. The more gold a wife has, the more respect a man deserves.

Today's fashion is the motto "the more - the better, the brighter - the more beautiful." To create the image, designers use every possible combination of rings.

Jewelry made of precious metals can be combined with jewelry. For example, a bronze or copper ring will perfectly coexist with a gold one.

A combination of previously incompatible metals, gold and silver is allowed. But this should not look like a messy mess, but an aesthetic interspersing of a bit of silver in a riot of gold, or vice versa.

In the trend, accessories are not just with large, but with huge stones that effectively emphasize the grace of a female hand. A massive ring with a bright stone surrounded by phalanx rings looks very elegant. Several rings of different shapes and colors on one hand emphasize the originality of the image. And (attention!) The hit of the season - two or three rings with different stones on one finger.

Fans of phalanx jewelry should buy a ready-made set of midi rings. Wide and thin rims, springs and chains of the same metal and in the same style can be combined independently, following your taste and mood.

The only requirement for all this anarchy is to wear jewelry correctly. They should correspond to the style of clothes and harmoniously fit into the created image.
