Sterling silver rings can be more beautiful than even the priciest platinum, because
silver has the most reflective property out of all metals used in jewelry making. It can
be polished into an extremely high sheen with mirror like finish.
Rings are a major part of fine jewelry that people wear. From wedding rings to promise
rings to just rings, people love to adorn their fingers with these beautiful accessories.
You can tell a lot about someone just by the ring they wear and the finger they wear it on.
Depending on the culture and the time, wearing rings on a certain finger had different
symbolic meanings. Thumb rings, for example, used to be for doctors. In other
believes, a thumb ring indicated an independant thinker. Someone who doesn't follow the
crowd and is true to their own believes.
Rings on the index finger were worn by merchants and business men in the middle ages,
while other cultures stated that people who are decisive, ambitious and natural
born leaders wore rings on this finger. They have a sense of direction, and knows where they
want to go and what they want to do. They are confident in themselves.
A middle finger ring implies someone who is sympathetic, knowing, and caring of others by
today's pop culture, but in the old days, it was worn by jokers and fools.
The commitment finger, where people wore rings to show that they are in a loving
relationship, was the pinky. But somehow the ring finger became the choice for wedding rings
and engagement rings. Also seen as a sign of creativity and intuition. On the other hand,
the pinky ring has become a protection against backstabbers by many cultures.
