Men's Fashion Rings
It may not be the most traditional finger to wear a band, but a large thumb ring for men can mean strong power or wealth. For those who do not get to do too much busy work, wearing a fashion rings around the thumb can make a bold style statement. This type of accessory is gaining popularity with mens fashion rings of all backgrounds.
The pinky finger has always been a popular fashion for men and there are many ways to wear this finger band. One of the most classic fashion rings styles is the large “thumb ring” worn by rock stars and celebrities. It can be made from thick yellow gold and wrapped with multiple, black diamonds. A band such as this may not fit everyone because it may cut into the flesh of the pinky finger and make it raw.
The best option for those looking for a thumb ring that will not cut into the flesh is the band that is called a “thumb out” design. This thumb ring is usually smaller than a “thumb ring” and made of a thinner metal, so it is more comfortable for the wearer. Many women prefer men wearing rings as a gift because they know it is meant to be worn as a sign of status and power. When worn with a suit, they can say I work in the corporate office and I am not wearing my thumb ring! For those men who do not feel they have a lot of power in their career, these thumb rings can be very powerful statement!
Another unique fashion rings style is the “thumb ring snake”. A woman who wants to have her partner’s thumb tattooed to mark the date he proposed must make sure he is very gentle with the pinky finger so the ink will stay put and will not bleed or get “tattooed off” by another woman. It is recommended that he wears a wedding band to make sure the pinky finger is protected.
Men have been wearing thumb rings since the 1930’s when men started working in factories where they could not wear protective bands because they worked from home in their own clothing. They would wear a safety thumb ring on their left hand to protect the ring on their right hand. Even today, many men wear their wedding bands on the left hand while they wear their thumb rings on their right hand. It all has to do with tradition.
Men’s fashion rings also come in different sizes and styles. Some people choose to go with a gold ring and some choose to go with a silver ring. Most men wear silver rings because it is less likely to get scratched if the jewelry is not worn on the same finger with another piece of jewelry. Silver rings are more masculine than gold rings, and therefore, more popular among men. The larger size of the ring also means that it can be shaped to fit the hand better, and there is more room for a nice design. For a man, a good ring is one that looks good, feels good, and gives him good feelings.
