i love right hand rings, (im planning to get a thumb ring), but left hand rings bother me as i am a guitarist, and ring wear on guitars (scratches on back of guitar neck due to rings) is a very common problem, so i would hope to avoid having left hand rings until marriage. unfortunately, as stated in the video, that would break the symmetry of rings, so what would be your advice?
@@undefeatedchamp7839 I actually got it and use it as a wedding band along with my wife. She loved the idea but I wear it on my right hand. It just feels more comfortable there since I write with my left hand.
I've gotten a bit more conservative with my rings in recent years, but I'm still a big believer that men should feel free to express themselves through them.
I personally wear my ring on my right ring finger (in US culture/not married). Its made of black tungsten carbide and for me, it symbolizes promise to self. I use it to keep in reminder to be a person of morality and truth. Its also has many other personal meanings.For example, the ring is kind of small, so its difficult to get rid of, which also means that this promise is stuck to me.
I bought a 1.8 ct diamond in Afghanistan that ended up being worth way more than I paid. I planned to have it made into a necklace for my fiance, but the engagement didnt last. I had it made into a custom yellow gold ring for myself. I wear it on right ring finger. I'm not married. I don't know if others assume I'm married because of the ring, and dont really care. I just wear it because it looks cool.
@@tylerparker3024 Tungsten carbide is very hard. Too hard for any saw to cut off. So if you break your finger and it's swelling, it could be bad, because the ring can't be cut off. I think hospitals have special tools now that can squeeze the ring until it breaks.
***** Thats what I meant. I'm in my fourth year of mechanical engineering and we cant legally call ourselves engineers till we are fully certified professional engineers. The story behind the ring is actually quite interesting. It is said that all the rings are made of the iron from the quebec bridge (this i highly doubt), which collapsed in the early 1900's killing 75 people. The ring serves as a reminder for all graduates and engineers of their duty to uphold their professional duties.
+Code 18 yes you're right about the bridge in Quebec. There is a legend/rumor that the first batch of rings made back then was from the iron of the bridge itself; however that is just a rumor. Extra note, some of us students actually got previously worn rings from engineers who have since retired or passed away. A sort of "passing the torch" if you will.
I am a Purdue Civil Engineering 1971 Graduate and a Registered Professional Engineer in five States (Retired). I find your History of the Iron Ring to be fascinating as well as appropriate. My Firm has done many Bridges throughout the Midwest and they are still performing as designed. Thank you Jesus.
As a man who has worn multiple rings everyday for many many years, I was ready to tear this video apart when I read the title. Buuuut you actually know what you're talking about and even taught me one thing I didn't know. Good job.
Recently got a black Tungsten ring for my right hand pinky finger. Love it! I actually started with a necklace because it was something I could easily put under my shirt. Loved it, loving the ring, looking forward to adding one or two more to go along with my tattoos and style.
Nice video, love it! I myself wears rings but I never thought of matching colors or metals. Thanks for that tip. Extra story: I worked with a guy who wears 4 rings: 1 on his right ring finger, a wedding ring (Jew) and 3 rings on his left pinky, ring and middle fingers. When I asked him why he told me: Every ring for every child he has. So you can wear rigns that have meaning for you alone and can be a conversation starter.
Great video. Don't forget to mention the safety aspect of wearing rings, and jewelry in general. I've heard of people getting their rings snagged on power tools, and arcing as it completed an electrical circuit. Also, in an industrial environment, I've seen some guys wear their wedding ring on a necklace.
There are many lines of work where you cant wear a ring. Health care, food preparation, laboratory, machine shop, welding, law enforcement, military, firefighter and pretty much any kind of manual labor.
I personally, as a self taught hobbyist jeweler, tend to wear several rings at a time. I like that they make a statement about myself, and also tend to lead into a conversation that often ends in a sale. I use it as a form of advertising what I do. where I live, most guys only wear a wedding band so it really makes me stand out.
i actually wear 4 rings two on my right and two on my left. now this originally started as an act for magic but it soon became my fashion. I still go to school and no one there really wear rings so it makes me stand out more
At the end of the day, you create your own personal style. Some of the more gaudy/strange rings I own (which I never would think were "me") are the ones I get compliments on the most. So don't let parameters deter you from something you like or gravitate to. Just own it. I wear rings on whatever finger they fit/look good on. And guys, try to branch out from boring, plain bands. You have options, so use them.
+Namron9797 I don't know about you but I hate rings on the left hand. I write with my left so it feels odd. If I ever get married in North America, could I still wear the ring on the right? It flows better for me.
Namron9797 Yes, I'm from Kentucky I moved to Deutschland few years ago an I only wear my wedding band on the right. My wife on the other hand wears it on the left.
It’s crazy how on point this is. Even subconsciously when you see someone with a ring it makes you feel a certain way. Although being a fan of 10k gold I feel like the smaller your hands are the bigger the ring can be. Just because you have small hands doesn’t make it a rule to get small rings. If anything a perfectly sized big ring for a small hand will definitely catch eyes.
I wear 5 rings on both of my hands and sometimes wear another ring on any finger on both sides that would fit with the other ring that I have already on. My favorite style of rings are Celtic, Viking and pirate.
i love the idea of wearing my family crest on my index finger to show that you have confidence and are not afraid to show that of who you are and what your bloodline represents
I am from Bulgaria and that is true for wearing a ring here, i have ring on left hand on forth finger, but only on this finger and he is a simple-elegant gold ring .
0:48 antonio, can you please explain why you were wearing a white undershirt in that video, that was clearly visible? our friend aaron over at alpha m condemns this fashion tragedy. were you perhaps less fashion conscious at the time or is there some other reason?
For me I wear my titanium tension set ring on my thumb. The ring itself gets a lot of attention as it has a tension set white sapphire with Celtic leaf etching. So it's an unusual ring to begin with and i switch between my index finger and thumb. Personally I love titanium, it's incredibly strong and lightweight. It will hold it's shape through all kinds of abuse. It's not as glamorous as say gold, platinum or silver. But it also doesn't cost as much and is still just as beautiful.
im so glad i found your chanel. my hubby was not raised in a very "high class" family, so to speak, and my family is like 99% female with no brothers and and two dozen female cousins, three male cousins with huge age and location differences. so i have no idea what men need fashion wise or anything about their clothes or accessories. but now i found this chanel and can learn about what the hell i am going to do with my son and his clothing options. thanks!
Great video, I live with my partner in Norway and we wear our wedding rings on our right hands. Denmark is the same but I see more pairs with them on their left hands. Sweden is definitely a left hand country. Equality is so strong there that men receive engagement rings as well. It is not uncommon to see men with 'double' wedding rings. Germany and The Netherlands are a little confusing because one sees them often on either right or left hands. The explanation is from the fact that Catholics have them on their left hands and Protestants on their right hands. These 2 countries are rather split in the middle when it comes to wedding rings.
Would you mind going into more detail about wearing a watch in one material and a ring in another material in the same hand? If this can work and what your approach is to this mixing of materials?
Another great video from you, Antonio! Personally, I never thought about wearing rings for anyone other than myself. I think my hands are medium-sized, but the challenge I have always had with rings is that, most of the time, the ones I want to buy are either too small or too large. However, there are a few that I wear on a regular basis. For example, my Birthday is January 8, so my Birthstone is Garnet. I have a Sterling Silver ring set with a Garnet that I wear on the ring finger of my left hand. I usually wear another Sterling Silver ring that belonged to my late grand-aunt on my right index finger, but sometimes on my left index finger. In addition, I recently found myself drawn to a piece of Black Onyx, shaped as a ring, and be worn as one, and that one I wear that on my right little finger.
I usually wear two rings, one on each hand on the ring finger: my class ring on the right and my grandfather's ring on the left. Both are pretty large, yellow gold with gemstones, garnet on the class ring and tiger's eye on my grandfather's. Both look great and draw me compliments and I usually wear them on a daily basis (though a broken right wrist is currently preventing that.) I wouldn't wear more than one ring on a hand though as I think that seems a tad excessive
+MrJ567 Assuming only one ring per finger - two or three spread out across both hands is generally a safe maximum. www.realmenrealstyle.com/ring-rules/
Never really thought about rings until i watched this video, very informative and made my want to know more about symbolism behind rings and their placement on the hand, good video :)
A wide celtic pattern on my left pointing finger. And ring finger and pinky on my right hand. All silver and balances out nicely. The right ring finger is medium width Arabic pattern so that gives me a chance to show I can speak another language. Always a plus. The pinky finger was my Grandfathers ring and it's the only finger that it will fit. it's a bit smaller band though so it works out nicely.
I usually wear 3 rings on any given day as well on my watch. Im left hand dominant so i wear my watch on my left as well as a heavy skull silver ring on middle with a onyx stone silver on my ring finger. On my right hand i usually wear a plain titanium band with runic style engraving (not married or anything just happened to like the ring). I love my rings.
The left pinky is the traditional signet ring finger in Britain and with many modern noble men. I am descended from the Russian aristocracy and wear my Russian Imperial signet on my left pinky. I also wear 2 other gold rings with rubies or diamonds. I have never cared what others think of it. I wear what I feel lead to wear in my spirit. I've encountered some people who don't like me wearing a signet on my pinky but it is my birthright so I just consider those remarks to come from a place of ignorance. You really can't care what others think, there will always be critics. Wear what feels natural to you personally and culturally.
I love your take on it. It’s the correct take. Rings were originally built by men for men. Royal men wore the most unique jewels. Military men included. Noble land owning men. Jewels were always originally a status symbol for men until they commercialized designs for women in marriage and only then did men begin to take a back seat. Today men can do whatever feels great.
Liked your video. I am very comfortable with wearing rings. I have Diamonds, Blue Sapphire, Tigers Eye, and Black Onyx, and family crest. I like to wear, according to what colors of clothes I am wearing. The same with watches. And you are right they make a statement. And yes, men can wear jewelry.
I have a question. I wear 4 rings on my right hand. The rings I wear are Green Lantern logo ring on my index finger, Superman logo ring on my middle finger, Batman ring on my ring finger and a Star Wars logo ring on my pinky finger. I wear 2 rings on my left hand. My Flash ring on my ring finger and Legion of Superheroes ring on my middle finger. I'm planning on getting 2 more superhero rings for my index and pinky finger on my left hand. My question is is since for the most part they are superhero rings except for the Star Wars one as I mentioned is it ok to wear all those stainless steel rings since they are special rings?
K13Good Here's the Superman ring. www.amazon.com/DC-Comics-Superman-Steel-Stainless/dp/B00E0QY2PO/ref=sr_1_1?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1458618262&sr=1-1&nodeID=7141123011&keywords=superman+ring Here's the Batman ring. www.amazon.com/dp/B00TQY9Q92?psc=1
So, I have a silver watch on my left arm and I'm thinking of getting a gold ring on the forth finger, of my right hand. I'm 16 and I live in the UK btw.
Go for it. Personally I don't see anything wrong with that. I wear a silver watch on my left wrist and have a gold affiliation ring on my fourth finger on my right hand.
Easy. All rings (index finger, middle finger, and pinky OR index finger and ringfinger OR thumb and ringfinger) and 3 to 5 small bracelets go on the right wrist. Watch and full sleeve tattoo go on the left arm to balance out the bling.
I think Rings also make a person feel Respectable, that means he is conveying others to respect him in the form of a ring,he is sendig a strong message ofcourse as you said Rings Send a Message.
Look if you're a man I see rings as a symbol of status and power, especially depending on the art or insignia on the ring. A lot like your commentary on hats with them making you look taller etc I see them as a symbol of strength in the same sense.
I frequently wear multiple rings, though I tone it down or up dependant on the occasion. On my left ring finger I wear a ring that prominently displays a symbol of my faith. I generally wear a lions head ring on my right ring finger when conducting religious ceremonies, since in my church it symbolizes my position as the head of the church. For formal family dinners or events, I wear the large amber ring that I received as a wedding gift from my wife. I wear it on my left index finger generally. When I am at business meeting or working, I generally only wear the one ring on my left hand.
Great video as usual Antonio. I wear a single silver ring on my right index finger most of the time when I go out. Now I'm going to feel "powerful" wearing it! :)
For me, I wear silver native American pinky rings only on both sides & that's enough for me. I complement them with my watch more or less the same both laden silver with turquoise. I have three silver bracelets of different designs. All modesty aside, I look cool!
Very good info on rings. Outstanding aspect of this interview, is how you use, your hands, to tell the story, and it makes you more powerful, and trustful, the use of the hands, almost as though, telling the story, with the hands. Powerful lesson for interviews and when public speaking.
I am just now engaged now 8 years together now with my boyfriend this month I have no idea about it all we love each other a lot and happy together soild 8 years going strong my claddagh ring I am wearing engaged now on the outside of my finger now engaged just this December 2019
I currently wear on my left index finger a stainless steel one, with some irish-y symbol pattern on it (not the trefoile). And I'm planning on getting a silver ring with my family crest for my right middle finger.
In the Islamic world men wear silver rings with usually an agate stone (it's mainly red by there are variations with the tone) and they look simple but stylish at the same time, and it's considered to be following the tradition of the prophet Muhammad who used to wear one like that too.
I wear many rings coming from Southeast Asian background it are not the rings but the stones which are if importance every gem has it's own significant own importance and meaning we wear rings as a sign of power , for religious purposes, and even sermonical i've noticed that in European Culture it's associated with certain type of people The socalled trailer trash or low class labourers decorate them selves with loads of Gold often not compatible with each other but like you said cultural differences
Joseph Sungkawa Yes you are correct and it should be pointed out. Will most listen? deviance brother. Plus they have rappers that make their own rules. Keep yours because they will outlast any others.
+First Last // That's an excuse used by feminine men and/or lazy men who don't want to put any kind of effort into their appearance, by removing all standards they can keep on feeling good about themselves.
So the 2 pieces of accessories I like to wear are a watch and a ring. Is it a good idea to wear them on the same hand, leaving the other hand with nothing? Or should I always balance my accessories and wear one on each hand?
hi Antonio I wear four rings two on my index fingers my right middle finger and my left ring finger. three of them are stainless steel, and the last one is silver and black. my question is since the rings are balanced would a necklace be too much?
I was just about to ask the same question about flipping the video. But instead of asking I decided to check your uploads. Hah. Thanks for the upload, and the channel in general. Just found out about you yesterday. I used to wear a ring on my right thumb. I'm right handed so it was pretty visible. I've since heard many (women) ask where's my ring and that I should get a new one. My fingers are pretty skinny and on my thumb the joint part is much thicker than the straight bone (like hourglass figurine when I point it up). So I guess it evened it out and made my hand feel a bit bigger.
+Cole McGlothlin Not really an excuse. I been wearing 2 rings on my left for 8 years and never took them off while playing guitar. At first I though it would get in the way but it really didn't
+MR.dmz actually it is an excuse because it bugs me when I try to wear a ring. If it doesn't bug you thats great for you. There are tons and tons of people who can wear rings and play guitar at the same time. The bottom line is that it is something that bothers me personally when I play guitar.
Antonio, I'm currently shopping for a wedding band. I want a traditional low dome band and I'm wondering if there are any rules to follow regarding the width of the band. My ring finger is a size 10 and want to make sure the ring looks properly proportioned on my finger. 6mm widths seem to be the most popular, but that might not be the best width for everyone. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!
Hey Antonio nice stuff ! I'm 16 and I really want a black smoothe ring and another ring but I just don't know what color. Should I wear the black ring on my index because of power ?
+Elitenino1 Yes - It symbolizes power and authority. The index finger is also a sensible choice to wear a class ring or a family ring. Here's my complete guide: www.realmenrealstyle.com/ring-rules/
Antonio.. Nice video... I wear almost daily 6 chains, 6 rings, and 3 bracelets.. And 6 pendents. All 10k solid gold.. I have 3 925 chains.. I started my collection in 2014 I try to at least buy 2-3 pieces a year .i will stop probably at 10 chains and charms 8 rings and 8 bracelets.
I really enjoyed that video and I'm wondering if there is a place/book/blog etc. where I can find similar information about women - NOT in the sense of "Oh my gosh, those are so fab!", more like: "Hello, I am a young (business?)woman who wants to dress and look appropriately in a well-respected office." Can you help me?
I actually just got my class ring the other day. It's been weird wearing it but I enjoy it. I've been looking into getting a family crest ring eventually as a future heirloom. I think it'll be fun!
I'm thinking of getting a Cartier love ring but I can't decide which finger. I love the symbolism of power for index finger but I love the placement on middle finger way more.
Antonio, you always do such a great job with these videos! Something I would like you to do a future video on would be cologne, dos and don'ts and your ideas on some really nice masculine scents.
i wear a silver rolling three band ring on my left index or my left thumb depending on how swollen my fingers are. bought it in a set with one for my girlfriend she wears on her thumb
Wrongly from the point of view of the whole tradition of why the ring is worn on ring finger of the left hand. Yes I did watch the video, did you not? He actually talks about understanding the history of wearing a ring and of all the examples he gives (fraternity, masonic and gangster etc) I would argue that the wedding ring is probably the most important! He totally misses the main point that the history of wearing of wearing it on the left hand pre-dates all of the others, going back thousands of years when it was believed that the vein of love ran through it straight to the heart.
Mark Sant,he’s not wearing it wrong,he is wearing it in different way.Ukrainians are generally orthodoxies,so they wear rings on right hands,because it’s believed that right side is better than left. It is the tradition lasting for many centuries,just like wearing on left hand,and the fact that he doesn’t follow your tradition doesn’t mean he is doing it wrong
I love to work through rings basically the power in the index finger and pinky I keep it to turquoise and onyx and that’s about it for me anything else is a little too much but I was thinking about the thumb on the other hand are usually wait on the right maybe on the left hand maybe a summering would work thank you and thanks for all your information
Hi Antonio, TY for this upload. I found it truly fascinating I wouldn't mind most of the info you shared to stay in my memory ... for I know with two special men in my life that I'll be using the info. Being a woman I love playing with my own style For instance during the summer I tend to gravitate more towards silver & light colored metals. And light colored gem stones. Then when autumn rolls around I love all the golds & the richer hues in gems. Winter I love still the golds and darkest gems. By the time spring arrives I'm ready to lighten up into Rose golds & silver & pastels with gems. Also to make sure I'm covered with matching metals, I might wear two toned just to pull it all together if need be lol. I know it may all sound a bit confusing I asure you that it's not to my inner essence It all comes to me as easy as a second nature plus it gives me a chance to really play :) Take care Antonio. Wishing you a beautiful summer with lots of laughter and joy And some new rings for the fun of it💍
My dad wore rings as in plural. He was an Episcopal Priest. They also matched his personality. I think you can wear anything you want and it's no ones business.
I wear my watch on my right wrist, so I wear my rings on my left hand even though I'm not married. I have a stainless steel one on my middle finger and a silver one with small garnets on my ring finger. I wear them most of the time but there are some places I take them off though, just to avoid the awkward questions about whether I'm married or not.
I wear 2 wrings on each hand a skull wring on the engagement finger metric wrings on each pointing fingers and a smooth band wring on my thumb i wonder what kind of charictor i am ?
Question... when wearing a ring that has perhaps a family crest would you wear it so the crest faces yourself or so it faces outwards i.e. if you were to show your ring to someone it would be the right way up for them but the wrong way round for you. Does this make a difference?

I personally wear my ring on my right ring finger (in US culture/not married). Its made of black tungsten carbide and for me, it symbolizes promise to self. I use it to keep in reminder to be a person of morality and truth. Its also has many other personal meanings.For example, the ring is kind of small, so its difficult to get rid of, which also means that this promise is stuck to me.
Scot Wallace but ne careful with such strong rings its very dangerous if you're in an accident
This is great! Imma steal this

@@tylerparker3024 Tungsten carbide is very hard. Too hard for any saw to cut off. So if you break your finger and it's swelling, it could be bad, because the ring can't be cut off. I think hospitals have special tools now that can squeeze the ring until it breaks.

There are many lines of work where you cant wear a ring. Health care, food preparation, laboratory, machine shop, welding, law enforcement, military, firefighter and pretty much any kind of manual labor.

I use it as a form of advertising what I do. where I live, most guys only wear a wedding band so it really makes me stand out.

Although being a fan of 10k gold I feel like the smaller your hands are the bigger the ring can be. Just because you have small hands doesn’t make it a rule to get small rings. If anything a perfectly sized big ring for a small hand will definitely catch eyes.
Hi, Wedding Bands in South and East Europe are always used on the Right Hand
I wear 5 rings on both of my hands and sometimes wear another ring on any finger on both sides that would fit with the other ring that I have already on. My favorite style of rings are Celtic, Viking and pirate.
Nah dawg
I love rings and these are all great tips to accessorize successfully ! It's easy to overdo it, so always balance your accessories out.
+contrabassoon You're right about that :) Glad it helped.
I love men who wear jewelry tastefully...a nice ring, a single bracelet... Its very sexy.
lol

I like you
Hey Barb, Agreed!!!
How you doin'?
i love the idea of wearing my family crest on my index finger to show that you have confidence and are not afraid to show that of who you are and what your bloodline represents
I am from Bulgaria and that is true for wearing a ring here, i have ring on left hand on forth finger, but only on this finger and he is a simple-elegant gold ring .
Exactly what I was after. Professional, informative, on point. Thank you!!!!!!
0:48 antonio, can you please explain why you were wearing a white undershirt in that video, that was clearly visible? our friend aaron over at alpha m condemns this fashion tragedy. were you perhaps less fashion conscious at the time or is there some other reason?
+lullemans72 That was taken before I started Real Men Real Style. www.realmenrealstyle.com/how-to-choose-a-proper-mens-undershirt-video/
Real Men Real Style thanks for the reply, antonio. it's interesting to see that you were once different bank then. very inspiring!
For me I wear my titanium tension set ring on my thumb. The ring itself gets a lot of attention as it has a tension set white sapphire with Celtic leaf etching. So it's an unusual ring to begin with and i switch between my index finger and thumb. Personally I love titanium, it's incredibly strong and lightweight. It will hold it's shape through all kinds of abuse. It's not as glamorous as say gold, platinum or silver. But it also doesn't cost as much and is still just as beautiful.
so well spoken, informative, and professional. spoke like a gentleman and not condescending at all. what a pleasure to watch!!
im so glad i found your chanel. my hubby was not raised in a very "high class" family, so to speak, and my family is like 99% female with no brothers and and two dozen female cousins, three male cousins with huge age and location differences. so i have no idea what men need fashion wise or anything about their clothes or accessories. but now i found this chanel and can learn about what the hell i am going to do with my son and his clothing options. thanks!
ragana and broo hope im not too late . Streetwear fashion , like supreme , Off White
i wear my ring on my left pinky. Like a mobster
Damn Boy
I wear mine on my feet.
Same but only cause its the only finger it fits. My right pinky is thicker.
Thank you for this Antonio so much knowledge I never knew each finger was associated with anything besides the wedding ring. Great content!!!!
+brandon asuncion Definitely. Thank you!
great video :) personally i wear a sapphire ring on my right ring finger and a ruby ring on my left pinky finger. it pops up my outfits accordingly.
How to wear a ring:
1. Buy a ring YOU like.
2. Put it on one of your fingers.
Very professional and easy to understand, keep up the good work
Great video, I live with my partner in Norway and we wear our wedding rings on our right hands. Denmark is the same but I see more pairs with them on their left hands. Sweden is definitely a left hand country. Equality is so strong there that men receive engagement rings as well. It is not uncommon to see men with 'double' wedding rings. Germany and The Netherlands are a little confusing because one sees them often on either right or left hands. The explanation is from the fact that Catholics have them on their left hands and Protestants on their right hands. These 2 countries are rather split in the middle when it comes to wedding rings.
Thanks for letting me know. This will definitely help the gents here who are curious as to why I wear a ring on my right hand.
Would you mind going into more detail about wearing a watch in one material and a ring in another material in the same hand? If this can work and what your approach is to this mixing of materials?
Another great video from you, Antonio!
Personally, I never thought about wearing rings for anyone other than myself. I think my hands are medium-sized, but the challenge I have always had with rings is that, most of the time, the ones I want to buy are either too small or too large. However, there are a few that I wear on a regular basis.
For example, my Birthday is January 8, so my Birthstone is Garnet. I have a Sterling Silver ring set with a Garnet that I wear on the ring finger of my left hand. I usually wear another Sterling Silver ring that belonged to my late grand-aunt on my right index finger, but sometimes on my left index finger.
In addition, I recently found myself drawn to a piece of Black Onyx, shaped as a ring, and be worn as one, and that one I wear that on my right little finger.
+Robert Alvarez Pretty cool!
Real Men Real Style
Yes, you are, Antonio.
I usually wear two rings, one on each hand on the ring finger: my class ring on the right and my grandfather's ring on the left. Both are pretty large, yellow gold with gemstones, garnet on the class ring and tiger's eye on my grandfather's. Both look great and draw me compliments and I usually wear them on a daily basis (though a broken right wrist is currently preventing that.) I wouldn't wear more than one ring on a hand though as I think that seems a tad excessive
+MrJ567 Assuming only one ring per finger - two or three spread out across both hands is generally a safe maximum. www.realmenrealstyle.com/ring-rules/
beautiful wife, happy for you Antonio. Thanks for everything
+Endhel :) Thank You!
I'm Chinese, and I recently started wearing Chinese Jade thumb rings 6 months ago. I would love to see you make video about that.
nice video. and Kiev cool I was there a couple of years ago. its not too good now though with the war.
+starkiller1341 Kyiv is still great, the dollar is strong and people are stronger!
Never really thought about rings until i watched this video, very informative and made my want to know more about symbolism behind rings and their placement on the hand, good video :)
A wide celtic pattern on my left pointing finger. And ring finger and pinky on my right hand. All silver and balances out nicely. The right ring finger is medium width Arabic pattern so that gives me a chance to show I can speak another language. Always a plus. The pinky finger was my Grandfathers ring and it's the only finger that it will fit. it's a bit smaller band though so it works out nicely.
I don't even know why I'm watching this, I've been wearing at least 5-6 rings ever since I was in high school
I usually wear 3 rings on any given day as well on my watch. Im left hand dominant so i wear my watch on my left as well as a heavy skull silver ring on middle with a onyx stone silver on my ring finger. On my right hand i usually wear a plain titanium band with runic style engraving (not married or anything just happened to like the ring). I love my rings.
The left pinky is the traditional signet ring finger in Britain and with many modern noble men. I am descended from the Russian aristocracy and wear my Russian Imperial signet on my left pinky. I also wear 2 other gold rings with rubies or diamonds. I have never cared what others think of it. I wear what I feel lead to wear in my spirit. I've encountered some people who don't like me wearing a signet on my pinky but it is my birthright so I just consider those remarks to come from a place of ignorance. You really can't care what others think, there will always be critics. Wear what feels natural to you personally and culturally.
I love your take on it. It’s the correct take.
Rings were originally built by men for men.
Royal men wore the most unique jewels.
Military men included.
Noble land owning men.
Jewels were always originally a status symbol for men until they commercialized designs for women in marriage and only then did men begin to take a back seat.
Today men can do whatever feels great.
Liked your video. I am very comfortable with wearing rings. I have Diamonds, Blue Sapphire, Tigers Eye, and Black Onyx, and family crest. I like to wear, according to what colors of clothes I am wearing. The same with watches. And you are right they make a statement. And yes, men can wear jewelry.
I have a question. I wear 4 rings on my right hand. The rings I wear are Green Lantern logo ring on my index finger, Superman logo ring on my middle finger, Batman ring on my ring finger and a Star Wars logo ring on my pinky finger. I wear 2 rings on my left hand. My Flash ring on my ring finger and Legion of Superheroes ring on my middle finger. I'm planning on getting 2 more superhero rings for my index and pinky finger on my left hand. My question is is since for the most part they are superhero rings except for the Star Wars one as I mentioned is it ok to wear all those stainless steel rings since they are special rings?
Where did you get said rings lol

this should be a copypasta
Do you wear a signet ring so that if you look at the back of your hand the picture is facing up or down? I have always wondered this.
So, I have a silver watch on my left arm and I'm thinking of getting a gold ring on the forth finger, of my right hand. I'm 16 and I live in the UK btw.
Go for it. Personally I don't see anything wrong with that. I wear a silver watch on my left wrist and have a gold affiliation ring on my fourth finger on my right hand.
Easy. All rings (index finger, middle finger, and pinky OR index finger and ringfinger OR thumb and ringfinger) and 3 to 5 small bracelets go on the right wrist. Watch and full sleeve tattoo go on the left arm to balance out the bling.
I think Rings also make a person feel Respectable, that means he is conveying others to respect him in the form of a ring,he is sendig a strong message ofcourse as you said Rings Send a Message.
+praveen gopal I couldn't agreemore.
It just boosts confidence
helloo Antonio, do you know where the siginiture ring 5:09 gomes for. i have the same one from my dead father
RULES ???..I like a man that makes his own rules ; )
Kel4everSmiles woooooooo
Kel4everSmiles
My wife would disagree with you hahaha.
Agreed
Same, me too Silver and Platinum kind of man, if Gold then white gold is preferred 🖤
Look if you're a man I see rings as a symbol of status and power, especially depending on the art or insignia on the ring. A lot like your commentary on hats with them making you look taller etc I see them as a symbol of strength in the same sense.
I frequently wear multiple rings, though I tone it down or up dependant on the occasion. On my left ring finger I wear a ring that prominently displays a symbol of my faith. I generally wear a lions head ring on my right ring finger when conducting religious ceremonies, since in my church it symbolizes my position as the head of the church. For formal family dinners or events, I wear the large amber ring that I received as a wedding gift from my wife. I wear it on my left index finger generally. When I am at business meeting or working, I generally only wear the one ring on my left hand.
Great video as usual Antonio. I wear a single silver ring on my right index finger most of the time when I go out. Now I'm going to feel "powerful" wearing it! :)
+Jay Scott Great to hear! :)
For me, I wear silver native American pinky rings only on both sides & that's enough for me. I complement them with my watch more or less the same both laden silver with turquoise. I have three silver bracelets of different designs. All modesty aside,
I look cool!
I always wear my 20% damage reflection ring and my 30% spell absorption ring! 💪😎
Very good info on rings. Outstanding aspect of this interview, is how you use, your hands, to tell the story, and it makes you more powerful, and trustful, the use of the hands, almost as though, telling the story, with the hands. Powerful lesson for interviews and when public speaking.
I am just now engaged now 8 years together now with my boyfriend this month I have no idea about it all we love each other a lot and happy together soild 8 years going strong my claddagh ring I am wearing engaged now on the outside of my finger now engaged just this December 2019
I currently wear on my left index finger a stainless steel one, with some irish-y symbol pattern on it (not the trefoile). And I'm planning on getting a silver ring with my family crest for my right middle finger.
+MrDiarukia Pretty cool!
In the Islamic world men wear silver rings with usually an agate stone (it's mainly red by there are variations with the tone) and they look simple but stylish at the same time, and it's considered to be following the tradition of the prophet Muhammad who used to wear one like that too.
Bj Gas i like to wear the ring 💍 in same way ☺
Just because PROPHET MUHAMMAD SAW wear like that :)
SubhanaAllah! I was just wondering if its acceptable for me as a Muslim to wear it but you answered my question! Thanks :)
I wear many rings coming from Southeast Asian background it are not the rings but the stones which are if importance every gem has it's own significant own importance and meaning we wear rings as a sign of power , for religious purposes, and even sermonical i've noticed that in European Culture it's associated with certain type of people
The socalled trailer trash or low class labourers decorate them selves with loads of Gold often not compatible with each other but like you said cultural differences
Joseph Sungkawa
Yes you are correct and it should be pointed out. Will most listen? deviance brother. Plus they have rappers that make their own rules. Keep yours because they will outlast any others.
Exactly
Legendary video👑🔥
Real men don't think of themselves as real men; they just are.
+First Last // That's an excuse used by feminine men and/or lazy men who don't want to put any kind of effort into their appearance, by removing all standards they can keep on feeling good about themselves.
Amen. Videos like this are what make RUclips and society entertaining
First Last Daaaaaammmmn!
So the 2 pieces of accessories I like to wear are a watch and a ring. Is it a good idea to wear them on the same hand, leaving the other hand with nothing? Or should I always balance my accessories and wear one on each hand?
I think a man should not wear his Class Ring on his index finger.
Where did you get those shelves / the wardrobe in the background?
+Gøran Eliassen I'll talk about in another video - stay tuned :)
If you need someone to tell you how to wear a ring...you need to re-evaluate your life.
Then why are u here then ?
hi Antonio I wear four rings two on my index fingers my right middle finger and my left ring finger. three of them are stainless steel, and the last one is silver and black. my question is since the rings are balanced would a necklace be too much?
Geez, What a waste of time...this guy goes on and on about nothing.
i made same mistake insulting him until found this ruclips.net/video/v_qT6HybiT0/видео.html
LazlaTheFallen it's the same fucking video 😂
if i brake your inventierend rules would i go to jail?
I disagree.
I was just about to ask the same question about flipping the video. But instead of asking I decided to check your uploads. Hah. Thanks for the upload, and the channel in general. Just found out about you yesterday.
I used to wear a ring on my right thumb. I'm right handed so it was pretty visible. I've since heard many (women) ask where's my ring and that I should get a new one. My fingers are pretty skinny and on my thumb the joint part is much thicker than the straight bone (like hourglass figurine when I point it up). So I guess it evened it out and made my hand feel a bit bigger.
+Hatchy If you have slim fingers - keep your rings compact.
I hate rings I am a musician and it bugs me when I play guitar. When I get married I am going to just get her initial tattooed on my finger.
+Cole McGlothlin Not really an excuse. I been wearing 2 rings on my left for 8 years and never took them off while playing guitar. At first I though it would get in the way but it really didn't
+MR.dmz actually it is an excuse because it bugs me when I try to wear a ring. If it doesn't bug you thats great for you. There are tons and tons of people who can wear rings and play guitar at the same time. The bottom line is that it is something that bothers me personally when I play guitar.
+Cole McGlothlin Better hold off on that tattoo. Wives come and go, tattoos are permanent... LOL
+cdvax11 Truer words have never been spoken.
+cdvax11 looooooool
Antonio, I'm currently shopping for a wedding band. I want a traditional low dome band and I'm wondering if there are any rules to follow regarding the width of the band. My ring finger is a size 10 and want to make sure the ring looks properly proportioned on my finger. 6mm widths seem to be the most popular, but that might not be the best width for everyone. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!
Is it just me or does the man in this video remind you of a politician?
Hey Antonio nice stuff ! I'm 16 and I really want a black smoothe ring and another ring but I just don't know what color. Should I wear the black ring on my index because of power ?
+Elitenino1 Yes - It symbolizes power and authority. The index finger is also a sensible choice to wear a class ring or a family ring. Here's my complete guide: www.realmenrealstyle.com/ring-rules/
O.M.G. ITS JUST A FRAGING 💍 RING NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!
Antonio.. Nice video... I wear almost daily 6 chains, 6 rings, and 3 bracelets.. And 6 pendents. All 10k solid gold.. I have 3 925 chains.. I started my collection in 2014 I try to at least buy 2-3 pieces a year .i will stop probably at 10 chains and charms 8 rings and 8 bracelets.
Too much rings on man is a bit frooty. Keep it at a wedding band.
what
I really enjoyed that video and I'm wondering if there is a place/book/blog etc. where I can find similar information about women - NOT in the sense of "Oh my gosh, those are so fab!", more like: "Hello, I am a young (business?)woman who wants to dress and look appropriately in a well-respected office." Can you help me?
Do much spoken but so little said !
I actually just got my class ring the other day. It's been weird wearing it but I enjoy it. I've been looking into getting a family crest ring eventually as a future heirloom. I think it'll be fun!
+Connor Watkins Cool!
I will never wear a ring for two reasons. 1) ring aluvsion. 2) wedding rings are a scam created by the deBeers diamond company.
I'm thinking of getting a Cartier love ring but I can't decide which finger. I love the symbolism of power for index finger but I love the placement on middle finger way more.
I bought Horned Skull rings to trigger Believers because they think I worship satan 😂😂😂
Antonio, you always do such a great job with these videos! Something I would like you to do a future video on would be cologne, dos and don'ts and your ideas on some really nice masculine scents.
Its just a ring lmao you put it on your finger.. thats it.
i wear a silver rolling three band ring on my left index or my left thumb depending on how swollen my fingers are. bought it in a set with one for my girlfriend she wears on her thumb
+tiggstah Nice :)
why would you listen to advice on rings from somebody that wears the most important of rings, wrongly!
Wrongly for whom? Did you not watch the video?
Wrongly from the point of view of the whole tradition of why the ring is worn on ring finger of the left hand.
Yes I did watch the video, did you not? He actually talks about understanding the history of wearing a ring and of all the examples he gives (fraternity, masonic and gangster etc) I would argue that the wedding ring is probably the most important! He totally misses the main point that the history of wearing of wearing it on the left hand pre-dates all of the others, going back thousands of years when it was believed that the vein of love ran through it straight to the heart.
Mark Sant,he’s not wearing it wrong,he is wearing it in different way.Ukrainians are generally orthodoxies,so they wear rings on right hands,because it’s believed that right side is better than left. It is the tradition lasting for many centuries,just like wearing on left hand,and the fact that he doesn’t follow your tradition doesn’t mean he is doing it wrong
I wear my wedding ring on my right hand even though im from the U.S. i got married in a different country...
I love to work through rings basically the power in the index finger and pinky I keep it to turquoise and onyx and that’s about it for me anything else is a little too much but I was thinking about the thumb on the other hand are usually wait on the right maybe on the left hand maybe a summering would work thank you and thanks for all your information
Hi Antonio, TY for this upload. I found it truly fascinating I wouldn't mind most of the info you shared to stay in my memory ... for I know with two special men in my life that I'll be using the info. Being a woman I love playing with my own style For instance during the summer I tend to gravitate more towards silver & light colored metals. And light colored gem stones. Then when autumn rolls around I love all the golds & the richer hues in gems. Winter I love still the golds and darkest gems. By the time spring arrives I'm ready to lighten up into Rose golds & silver & pastels with gems. Also to make sure I'm covered with matching metals, I might wear two toned just to pull it all together if need be lol. I know it may all sound a bit confusing I asure you that it's not to my inner essence It all comes to me as easy as a second nature plus it gives me a chance to really play :)
Take care Antonio. Wishing you a beautiful summer with lots of laughter and joy And some new rings for the fun of it💍
My dad wore rings as in plural. He was an Episcopal Priest. They also matched his personality. I think you can wear anything you want and it's no ones business.
i wear two rings one on the left wedding finger ,its a family seal and a plain on the right wedding finger.had a ring of a cross on my left pinkky
Great video thanks. I have very small wrists what about bracelets?
Tenebrius1963 build arm muscles pencil arms.
You must be the pride of your family... Then again a wrestling fan is usually what? 10-12 years old tops?
Tenebrius1963 well I'm 16 actually, but I guess that's still young. BTW, wrestling is awesome.
I wear my watch on my right wrist, so I wear my rings on my left hand even though I'm not married. I have a stainless steel one on my middle finger and a silver one with small garnets on my ring finger. I wear them most of the time but there are some places I take them off though, just to avoid the awkward questions about whether I'm married or not.
I wear 2 wrings on each hand a skull wring on the engagement finger metric wrings on each pointing fingers and a smooth band wring on my thumb i wonder what kind of charictor i am ?
Question... when wearing a ring that has perhaps a family crest would you wear it so the crest faces yourself or so it faces outwards i.e. if you were to show your ring to someone it would be the right way up for them but the wrong way round for you. Does this make a difference?
