How many rings should a woman wear

Each ring has its own beauty, and you can understand those of us who try to wear as many rings as possible, writes Great picture... However, the rules of etiquette are quite strict: their total number should not exceed three, and there can be a maximum of two rings on one hand. It is believed that a lady has the right to wear a wedding and engagement ring, as well as one more, according to her preference.

The greater number of rings that can be seen on a lady indicates either ignorance of the rules of etiquette, or a deliberate disregard for them. In the first case, when a lady obeys the main traditions of our society, but tries to wear many rings at the same time, this indicates a lack of taste. The fact is that too many rings on her hands do not allow creating a balanced image, so even a carefully selected wardrobe and accessories may be useless if a woman's hands are decorated with four or more rings.

The second case is more typical for those of us who prefer to lead an original way of life. It is also important to know which finger to wear a ring of one type or another. If you want to decorate your little finger with a ring, remember that only narrow rings without stones can be worn on it. Massive rings with large stones will look very inappropriate on the little finger.

The possibility of subtle inclusions (small diamonds) in such a ring, or their decoration with engraving, is allowed, but these elements should not be conspicuous. The ring finger serves as a place for the wedding ring. Etiquette experts point out that there are no strict requirements for a wedding ring, but at the same time, they strongly advise choosing relatively small rings. If you think that a massive ring with a large stone will suit you, then there is a middle finger for it. It is also customary to wear rings on it. For index fingers, thin rings with a geometric pattern are considered most suitable, and the presence of small stones on them is also allowed. Etiquette allows for some manifestation of originality within the bounds of decency, for this the thumb is intended, which can be decorated with a massive ring, but without jewelry and stones.

Male etiquette wearing a ring

The number of men's rings and their types that a man can wear at the same time is very limited. The first in popularity is the gold wedding or engagement ring. Most often it is made of yellow gold.

To avoid pretentiousness and look stylish, choose a sleek, semicircular wedding ring - it is relevant at all times. In addition, a man is only allowed to wear a maximum of two more rings. One of them is a family heraldic or with a seal. The ring with the family coat of arms is usually worn by representatives of the aristocracy. And the difference between the seal and the coat of arms is that the initials are engraved in a mirror image. These rings are worn on the ring finger or little finger of the left hand. They always make an aristocratic impression.

If your fingers are already wearing a wedding ring and a coat of arms, stylists advise against wearing any other jewelry in addition. But if there is a great desire to do this, then the only thing else you can decorate your hands with is a small ring worn just below the signet. I must say that the coat of arms and wedding rings, first of all, are symbols, not jewelry. That is why some men, who love jewelry creations, wear a diamond ring on their little finger. True, here, too, it is worth observing moderation in the size of the stone and ring in order to adhere to the framework of a high masculine style.

How to choose "your" ring

Firstly, do not forget about your age: if you are a young girl, then choose a small, neat ring, and if you want a pebble, then let it be small. It is a small simple ring that will emphasize the freshness of young skin and the tenderness of age.

If you are in adulthood, then you can walk around and wear a large massive ring: such a piece of jewelry will tell others that although a lady is at an elegant age, she does not stop following fashion and herself. Why is this the case with size? Because a small ring on a young hand accentuates the ring, while a small ring on a mature woman's hand ... emphasizes, first of all, the skin of the hand. And if she is not in the best shape, then it is better to distract the attention of others with a large ring.

The second point is the size of the brushes. If you are the owner of large hands, especially those with short fingers, choose large rings with a stone or an elongated pattern (oval, diamond, tear, or just an elongated abstraction). At the same time, avoid wide rings that completely cover the area between the joints.

Hand shape

If your hands are rather chubby, original irregular rings - especially with corners and zigzags, as well as the already mentioned rings with an elongated design will help to make them visually more graceful. Rings with a round stone, on the other hand, emphasize the plumpness of the hand.

If you have noticeable knuckles on your hands, also opt for rings with large stones - they will distract attention from unaesthetic volumes. At the same time, try to avoid rings that are too thin and small - they will get lost on hands with wide joints, large or chubby hands, which means that your efforts to choose jewelry will be in vain.

If you suffer from excessive thinness of the hands, and your fingers are very narrow and thin, then try to wear wide rings with small pebbles, or even without them. The wide ring visually immediately increases the width of the finger.

If you are lucky enough to be the owner of reasonably thin brushes of good shape, then there are practically no restrictions: choose whatever your heart desires.

But the owners of already long fingers should be careful when choosing a ring with pebbles in the form of an oval or a drop - this shape can make her fingers even longer.

The basic rules of etiquette rings:

  • Do not wear more than one ring on one hand. If you wear one on each - make sure that the decorations are similar to each other.
  • Give up the bad habit of wearing rings of different metals and multi-colored stones on one hand. The option when you are wearing an obviously cheap and obviously very expensive ring — at least on one hand, at least on two, is no good at all.
  • It is bad form to wear diamonds and other very expensive stones during the day. But evening looks are a field for action, where you can express yourself in all its glory. You can complement your go-out outfits with rings of various shapes and sizes, which can have any scattering of stones, even a combination of several colors.
  • Cheap jewelry can be worn for girls up to 20. After this milestone, it is better to throw out a scattering of obvious cheapok and purchase one piece of jewelry - from good metal.
  • In everyday life, especially if your usual clothes “T-shirt / sweater + jeans” it is better to refuse rings with large stones. Prefer thin or wide rings (depending on the size of the brush) without any or with small pebbles.
  • If you have a strict dress code in your office, refuse to wear rings at all. The only exception is a wedding ring - it can be safely worn even in the most strict office. And, by the way, a wedding ring is one of the few that can calmly be combined with a huge number of various decorations.
  • And finally: if you are putting on a ring, then take care of your manicure in advance: the decoration will surely draw attention to your brushes. If there is no manicure, then it is better to do not only without rings, but also without bracelets.
