How to be a true "lord of the rings"
Fantasy worlds have always fascinated us and made us dream, leaving a lasting impression in our memory forever. Being a "Lord of the rings" might certainly seem like an enticing goal, even when, keeping our feet on the ground, it refers to knowing how to wear men's rings correctly.
Let’s discover together how to be a true lord of the rings!
How to be a true "lord of the rings"
Although the ring has always been seen as a strictly female accessory or strongly linked to power, it has fortunately become an increasingly popular trend for men of all ages in recent times. Many brands invest in creating rings specifically for men or unisex, perfect to be worn differently on each finger of the hand. Today, the ring becomes a true part of the outfit, to be shown off as the most precious of accessories!
The classic: the wedding band
Until the mid-1900s, wedding bands were exclusively for wives. However, in the last decades of the past century, wearing a wedding band has become a must for men as well, symbolizing loyalty and eternal love. A simple but very precious ring, which becomes part of one’s being, a daily habit that pairs well (of course!) with every outfit and situation. So, a great idea is to start wearing rings precisely through the use of wedding bands or slim bands, simple but always very stylish.
Rap and power
In the past, as we said, wearing a ring was seen somewhat as an exaltation of one’s power. Men wore rings to show their wealth or a prominent role in society. The aristocracy everywhere has always displayed rings with precious stones or bearing the family crest or the chevalier seal, a custom recently revived by many rappers, in a symbolic portrayal of themselves as the most powerful.
Consistency and style
It is important, however, to focus on ourselves and understand what our style is. If we love simplicity and practicality, a very large ring or one with an important crest will hardly help us achieve the elegance we aim for. Much better, then, to always choose a ring consistent with ourselves and our life. Surely, we can base ourselves on three main styles: the simple one, made of a plain band of precious metal; the more aristocratic one, with a symbolic engraving; the fashionable one, colorful and with precious gems.
Where and how to wear it?
A ring for each finger, or a finger for each ring? It is always good to carefully choose where to wear our rings, to send a clear and strong message to those who look at us from the outside.
On the little finger, the rings we want to show off the most. It was the favourite finger of nobles, for the chevalier ring. On the ring finger, the wedding band or slim band. On the middle finger, the most noticeable finger, we wear a ring that best represents us or that is showy, for special occasions. On the index finger, watch out for discomfort. Okay if it’s for some particular event, but not recommended in everyday life. The thumb, with an extra-large ring, can symbolize nonconformity, but also impracticality. Better to avoid.
In short: becoming a lord of the rings requires patience and good taste, but also the ability to rely on true experts in the field when choosing the perfect jewel.
