Knowing how to wear ring as a man doesn't come naturally a lot of guys. It usually involves a lengthy period of trial and error, and some men just don't understand how to wear jewellery!
However, if you know what you're doing, wearing rings as a man can be pretty simple! You just need to follow a few rules:
- Wear your ring with confidence. Don't let it wear you! Learning how to wear rings as a man is all about confidence. You need to be proud of the rings you're wearing and chances are people will start to admire them.
- Understand that every men's ring sends a message. The wring you wear might signal that you are married, a college association or maybe that you belong to a religion. The key is knowing what your rings say about you and using this knowledge to send the intended message.
- Pay attention to men's ring proportion. Just like a man should find a watch proportional to his wrist size, make sure your ring is proportional to your hands and fingers. A man with larger, thicker fingers will need a larger ring to keep proportions in balance.
- Balance your men's rings and jewelry across your two hands. Imagine having a chunky wristwatch, a bracelet and two rings on one hand…and nothing on your other hand. Feels unbalanced, right? Spread the load by taking one of those rings and putting it on the other hand. Then use the bracelet to ‘balance out' the watch.
- Match your metals. A man's jewelry will look most harmonious when they are all the same color and made from the same material. If you have a silver wedding band then also choose silver when purchasing a bracelet. Likewise, a yellow gold wedding band will look best with a yellow gold watch.
