    As far as men's style accessories, rings are one of my all-time favorites. Not only are they attractive accessories, but they help draw attention to your hands, a man's most attractive body part, according to women. Rings are also an incredible way to express your individual style. With that, I will go over some ring-wearing tips to follow.
    The inspiration for the video comes from my new wedding band. I saw a wedding band on this dude and asked him where he got it. He got it from a company called Thorum, and the ring was actually meteorite. I became obsessed after scrolling Thorum's website. I ordered four rings because I couldn't choose.
    Guide to rocking men's rings
    Make sure your nails and cuticles are not nasty and messed up. Also, dab Vaseline on your nails and cuticles to soften and condition them. Your nails will also get a bit of shine.
    Know what material you're buying. In the past, the material was pretty simple, with a choice of silver or gold. But now, the selection is unlimited such as silicone, dinosaur bone, whiskey barrel, gun rifle stock, tungsten, Damascus steel, and more. It boils down the personal preference, as there is no right or wrong. Find a material that resonates with you.
    Mixing metals is okay. In the old days, mixing metals was a bigger deal. Now, watches and rings may combine different metals. Not only is mixing metals totally appropriate, but it's a great way to add another layer of depth and dimension to your accessory game.
    Ring size should correspond with the size of your finger. You can find rings ranging from big, bold, and bulky to more subtle and minimal. If you have small, thin fingers, you want to avoid wearing big, bulky rings. Your hands and fingers will look smaller and more dainty, so you want to go with something more subtle and refined. You can never go wrong with an 8 mm ring; it's masculine but not over-the-top huge. This size will work for any finger. If you have bigger hands, go a bit thicker and more prominent, like a signet ring, class ring, or cigar band ring. Visit a local jewelry store to get sized for free.
    Balance the number of rings you wear per hand. You can never go wrong with a single ring on both hands. If you want to rock a second ring on a hand, you are always welcome; however, any more than that, you're getting outside of the box. Some guys wearing multiple rings, such as five rings for a hand, can look like a big badass or a humongous dumbass.
    Symbolic representation of what each finger means has changed over the years. Pinky rings were incredibly common, and stacking rings is common in some cultures. If you're not married, the number one finger to wear a ring is your right ring finger. Thumbs are tricky, and I'm not a fan of thumb rings. They look a bit trashy and douchey (but so are earrings on a 46-year-old dude).
    The price of your ring depends on your budget. Buying higher-quality rings is an investment. My first expensive ring was $350, and I wore it so much that it split. I got it at the Los Angeles airport in 2003 after I got kicked off the TV show Fear Factor. It was the most expensive thing I had ever purchased for myself, and I knew it was a lifetime opportunity with an incredible story. I wore it until it snapped, and I thought about getting it fixed, but I realized it served its purpose. It has a great story, and it's now retired. That's when I got my signet 'M' Ring, made by melting down metal from my grandparents.

    1. Make sure you groom and trim your nails correctly
    2/3 : chose a material that sits right with you.
    4. Make sure the width of the ring compliments the size of your finger
    5/6/7 . Wear as many rings that you think is right but don't overdo it. Wear it on the right finger. You could try expirementing with putting rings over another.
    8. Get better quality rings

    I'm into the punk/metal scene so I wear 3 rings for each hand; a few skull ones, a claw/talon looking one, etc. As long you're confident in what you wanna rock, fricken rock it my dudes! I will say, however, make sure your wardrobe at least matches with your multiple rings getup. So for me recently, a lot more muted colors and such "makes sense" compared to if I dressed up with a white button up, red tie, and blue pants.

    I love how rings, like watches, can make or break certain attires. I tried three rings, but couldn’t do it on each hand. My limit is two, although the last week I’ve been rocking pinky rings only. Also, Andres (Noble Metales) is the guy I’ll go to for my formal rings. I got two singlets from him. One for my ring finger and the other for pinky ring.

    Fun Fact: Contrary to popular belief, wedding rings are not a symbolism of eternity, but of the joining of two people with the rings symbolizing shackles. Seems fake, but is absolutely true. The "eternity" symbolism was later introduced as a palatable marketing ploy by jewelers.

    Last year before i went to boot camp long story short, got hurt and ended up discharging my mom got me a Claddagh ring. For those of you dont know its sort of Irish tradition and legend that it has to be a gift, if you buy it yourself you are cursing all hope for future relationships. As it goes with the design you have the crown on top with 2 hands holding a heart, worn on the right hand crown pointed down it means that youre free but if its pointed up toward your heart, it means you belong to someone. Its cool and all i have my class ring but it was honestly a waste of money cause i wore it twice on Junior ring day and graduation other than that i dont wear it. It sits in the box on my bookshelf and i havent even looked at it let alone worn it

    I currently wear 2 rings on my left hand. Ring and index. (no not married). Not worried about mixed metals, 1 is yellow gold with clear diamonds and the other is silver with yellow citrine, so they balance nice imo. I'm starting to think about getting some rings for my right hand. What are your thoughts on neighboring fingers btw? Won't that damage the metals?

    Wearing a ring on any of your fingers can be a problem if you're working with your hands. Maybe this is why many mechanics, construction workers, and many people who work with their hands take their rings off.

    I use to never wear rings besides for a clown type face my freshman year. Now I will wear up to 3 sometimes 4. I like the way they look and it's also a self defense thing for me. Besides for the ring finger I wear bulk rings. I don't wear pinky or thumb rings. Some skulls, an eye one and some bands. I would not suggest fashion wise to do what I do with rings but I like it and I will get people that will compliment my rings and or just take notice and point out if I don't wear one and which one.

    One thing to keep in mind is that in Germany, your engagement band goes on your left ring finger and then switches over to your right ring finger for your wedding ring. Overall, just be mindful of the culture of where you're living when it comes to those rings.

    Thanks for sharing stories about your rings, could actually tell you have very sentimental feelings about them. Hearing your stories, had me thinking about having my late fathers wedding ring resized, to wear on my right hand in his memory? Does it sound strange? 🤫
    PS... years ago "pinkie" rings were a "code" for the gay community.
