Do you know that for each finger that you wear your ring, there is a special meaning?
Of course, most people decide where they wear the ring based on their personal preferences and how beautiful the jewellery is.
Japan has their own special interpretation of the different meanings of each finger.
The meaning of wearing rings on different fingers:
1. Thumb
In ancient China, a ring on the thumb symbolized wealth, power, etc.
Modern people wearing rings on their thumbs can express their strong aura and self-confidence.
In Japanese belief, a ring on the left thumb gives you strength and the willpower to overcome challenges, while a ring on the right brings about leadership, courage, and self-discipline.
It used to be prominently men who wore rings on their thumbs, but in modern times, women have also incorporated thumb rings into their style.
Depending on individual preferences, ring on thumbs tend to be slightly thicker in width as compared to rings worn on the other fingers.
However, the recent trend is to stack several thin and unique band on your thumb as a statement of fashion.
Wear a ring on your thumb if you want a boost of confidence.
2. Index Finger
Western believes that wearing a ring on your left index finger indicates that you are unmarried and symbolizes your status as a single nobleman.
In contrast, a ring on your right indicates to others that you are single and are looking for sweet love.
In addition to the above, the Japanese believe that wearing a ring on the left index finger will increase your energy, sharpen your focus and build up your independence.
While wearing it on your right will bring about career progression and help you to reach your goals.
