The evolution of the pinky ring

The evolution of the pinky ring

Posted by Silver Forte on Mar 9th 2018

Rings have so many cultural and symbolic iterations throughout the world, and are often seen as one of the most important accessories a person can wear. But this is especially true in men. 

Since males are less likely to adorn rings for purely aesthetic purposes (most men only wear engagement/wedding rings), the significance of what ring is worn on which finger is pertinent.
It’s typically believed that a man wears a ring as a statement. The wedding ring communicates that ‘I’m married’. Some rings indicate solidarity. Others may be linked to good fortune, hard work, almost with the connotations a tattoo may bring.
Yet it is the ring of the pinky finger that perhaps provides the most interesting evolution. Long associated with organized crime, the pinky ring has come to represent brotherhood in a similar, if tamer, manner. It’s distinction from the rest of the hand gives it the ideal location for maximum wow factor, and it’s generally the most comfortable finger to wear a ring on for the same reasons.
Perhaps the pinky finger is missing a ring on your hand? Whether for fashion or function, it is an area with enormous potential to make a statement.
