Dos and Don'ts of Wearing Rings

To some, rings are simply a piece of jewelry. But to others, rings can have a much more significant meaning. Whether you are married, in a relationship, or just showing off your style, there is a ring for everyone. But with all the different rings and styles, how do you know which one to choose? And once you have the perfect ring, how do you wear it? Here are some dos and don’ts of wearing rings to help you out.

Do: Consider the Type of Ring

There are many different types of rings available on the market today. Fidget rings, promise rings, wedding bands, and so on. Each type of ring has a different meaning and purpose. Choose a ring appropriate for the event or occasion you will be wearing it. Also, make sure to take into consideration the metal and stone type. Some metals and stones are better suited for certain occasions than others.

Don’t: Wear Too Many Rings

While it may be tempting to pile on the rings, it is important to not overdo it. Wearing too many rings can be distracting and take away from the overall look you are going for. Stick to one or two statement pieces that complement your outfit and style. For example, a mother's ring won't pair well with a stone ring.

Do: Keep Your Rings Clean

Your hands and fingers are constantly in motion, so your rings will get dirty over time. To keep them looking their best, it is important to clean them regularly. Gently scrub your rings with warm water and mild soap. If you have stones in your rings, be careful not to damage the setting while cleaning.

Don’t: Forget to Take Your Rings Off

Removing your rings before engaging in activities that could damage or destroy them is important. For example, taking your rings off before going to the gym, swimming, or doing yard work will help prolong your life. Removing your rings before using harsh chemicals, such as cleaning products, is also important.

Do: Store Your Rings Safely

When you are not wearing your rings, it is important to store them safely. This will help prevent them from getting lost or damaged. A jewelry box or small pouch is a great way to keep your rings organized and safe. Be sure to line the bottom of the box or pouch with something soft, such as velvet, to prevent scratching.

Don’t: Wear Fake or Costume Jewelry

Buying fake or costume jewelry may be tempting when you see how affordable it is. But wearing fake jewelry can do more harm than good. Not only can fake jewelry damage your skin, but it can also tarnish your clothing. If you want to wear jewelry, it is best to invest in quality pieces that will last.

Do: Pair With Your Bracelet

For a coordinated look, pair your rings with a bracelet. This will help create a sense of harmony and balance. When choosing a bracelet, consider the metal type and style of your rings. An evil eye bracelet or evil eye necklace can go well with most ring styles.

Don’t: Wear Rings on Your Index Finger

The index finger is often used for picking things up or holding objects. Wearing a ring on this finger can damage the setting or stone over time. It is best to save this finger for larger statement pieces less likely to be damaged.
