Pinky rings

Pinky ring in different styles

Did you know that wearing a ring on a particular finger says something about your personality or personal status? Each finger carries a different meaning, the ring finger being the best known. A ring on that finger, of course, shows that you are in a committed romantic relationship. But what does it mean to wear a nice pinky ring?

The difference between a pinky ring and other rings

Wearing a pinky ring makes a subtle statement that can't be made with any other ring. Your pinky represents communication, and was once upon a time the finger used to send and receive messages. This finger is small but also strong, and is named after the Roman god of communication, Mercury.

Wearing a gold pinky ring shows the world that you are a well-spoken person with the power of persuasion. A pinky ring even strengthens these important abilities, making it the perfect piece of jewelry to wear during presentations or job interviews. Plus, pinky rings are smaller than other rings, proportional to the size of our smallest finger.

Pinky rings are perfect for both men and women

Many have the idea that pinky rings are only worn by men, but it is really a unisex piece of jewelry. A pinky ring for men often looks a little different than a woman's pinky ring. This is especially evident in the size and ruggedness of the pinky ring. In the Victorian era, pinky rings were quite often worn by women. They wore them to show the world that they weren't interested in finding a life partner. Later, wearing a pinky ring emphasized a woman's independence and emancipation. In short, whether you're a man or a woman, wearing a pinky ring makes a personal statement.
