The evolution of rings

Since the dawn of time, human beings have adorned themselves with jewelry. As early as prehistoric times, man was already making his jewelry from bone, ivory or even wood . It was possible to distinguish the work marks on these materials (polishing, notching, etc.), thus forming atypical jewelry , as in the case of rings.

Over the centuries, jewelry evolved, and so did rings. During Antiquity, the trend was toward gold and precious stones, which reflected the owner's level of wealth . It was during this period that the first engagement rings were exchanged.

More oriented towards religious representations , the Middle Ages period is the advent of jewelry with religious ornaments . This is why it was not rare to find rings with signs of the cross. In addition, to combine business with pleasure, some rings had the seal that the owner could affix in his daily uses.

Today, the world of jewelry is divided into three main sectors : artisanal jewelry (unique creations in limited series), fine jewelry (jewelry in precious metals in limited series) and costume jewelry (large-scale production in innovative materials).

Everyone therefore chooses their rings according to their tastes and preferences among these three categories.

Furthermore, remember that jewelry is also a way to assert your personality . Depending on the image you want to project , you can choose one ring or another. This can help you understand other people's personalities , and may even be a topic of first conversation , who knows?

Finally, some rings are designed to reduce anxiety and stress . In fact, some ring models are rotating . This way, when a person plays with them, it prevents them from biting their nails or falling into bad habits.

Not to mention that there are rings set with precious stones , known for their beneficial effects on the body . For example, blue calcite brings positive vibes, and plunges you into a state of serenity.

Which ring for which finger?

Depending on the type of rings you have, they may not necessarily be worn on the same fingers.

Indeed, if we take the example of the wedding ring , you should know that it is mainly worn on the ring finger . However, it can be the right or left ring finger.

In many beliefs and cultures, wedding rings are worn on the ring finger of the left hand because it is said to have a vein directly connected to that of the heart , and further symbolizes the bond that unites the two people.

Also, some people choose to wear their wedding band on their right hand to symbolize their engagement , before switching to the left hand once married.

Apart from wedding rings, it is possible to wear rings on the ring finger, which would symbolize empathy and compassion .

If you wear your ring on your thumb , you convey an image of freedom and independence . This finger is the most isolated on the hand: it goes its own way and does not allow itself to be influenced. Thus, it is a sign of strength , and sometimes even rebellion .

Wearing a ring on your index finger can be a way to assert your responsible , even authoritarian , character. The index finger is the finger used to indicate direction, impose orders or ask for silence.

The middle finger is the longest finger on the hand. So, if you choose to wear your ring on your middle finger , you reflect your power and strength of mind .

Finally, the little finger , although the most discreet of our fingers, is not without meaning. Often used to make promises, when worn with a ring, it reveals your ability to listen and take others into consideration .

Ultimately, you are free to take the symbolism into account or to do as you please. Generally speaking, rings are often worn on the hand that we use the least to avoid being hindered in our actions and/or to avoid damaging them.
