Although the matching ring between the finger and the ring is small, it is an indispensable ornament for our delicate hands. Its brilliance and color have unexpected charm. How to give full play to its charm and truly reflect its role?

Let's start with the matching of fingers and rings:

The index finger is the strongest of the five fingers, so the ring must have a strong sense of existence and characteristics to match it. The shape of the ring should be vertical, and the gem should be big and high;

The middle finger is a powerful finger, which is located in the middle. So the ring you wear must have a balanced effect. Square, cross and round rings will make the left and right look balanced;

The ring finger is considered to be the most slender and beautiful finger, and the rings matching this finger include traditional and elegant styles; Pure gold or pearl is good;

The tail finger is the smallest, and it should be matched with a gorgeous and sweet ring. P A ring made of pure silver is more suitable for the tail finger than a ring made of precious stones, especially a ring made of beautiful platinum.

Secondly, ring matching skills:

If the ring matches the watch, its charm will be greatly increased. The principle is:

Gold with gold, elegance with elegance, fashion with fashion.

If you are wearing a colored gems, you should pay attention to the matching and coordination of cuffs of bracelets, watches and long-sleeved shirts.

If you want to overlap and match rings, you should pay attention to the fact that the styles and materials of the rings are basically the same, with straight lines and curves, and the colors of the two rings should be similar.

If you want to wear two rings on one finger, you need a simple style, such as a single V-ring from gem ring; A thick ring with gorgeous style. If you want to wear two fingers separately, it is advisable to wear the middle finger with the index finger and the middle finger with the ring finger. Never wear a ring with the index finger and the ring finger overlapping, because the middle finger will appear uncoordinated. In ancient times, the ring was originally not used as an ornament, but as a special symbol when concubines in the court avoided the king's "royal luck" every month, so it was called "ring". Nowadays, the ring is not only an ornament to beautify life, but also a token of love. There is an agreement in the world:

Never wear the ring on your thumb. You can wear it on both hands and other fingers.

Wearing a ring on my index finger means that I have a lover and want to get married but I am not married.

Wearing a ring on my middle finger means I'm looking for someone or in love.

Wearing a ring on my ring finger means I'm engaged or married.

Wearing a ring on my little finger means that I am determined to live a single life, which means that I will never get married or never get married.

But in different places, the knowledge about wearing a ring is different. For example, Italy, France and many other Europeans wear wedding rings on the middle finger of their left hand, because they think that among the ten fingers, only the blood of this middle finger leads to the heart, and the heart is responsible for feelings, which is called the heart finger. The wedding ring can only be a "soul mate" if you wear it on this finger. The British wedding ring is worn on the ring finger of the left hand, while the Polish "heart finger" is worn on the little finger of the left hand.

Although the above rules are established, they are not legal provisions and do not need to be strictly observed. However, if you don't know the common sense of wearing a ring, you may make a joke if you wear it casually. Other rings have a kind of ring. When you wear it, no matter where you wear it, it means nothing. This kind of ring is an ordinary flower ring. This kind of ring is decorative and can be worn on any finger you want.

In addition, the custom of "male left and female right" is closely related to the philosophical concept of ancient people. Ancient philosophers in China believed that the two opposites of things and people in the universe were Yin and Yang. Things in nature are size, length, up and down, left and right, and so on. The ancients divided it into big, long, upper and left yang, small, short, lower and right yin. Yang is strong and yin is weak. Men's character, men's violent and strong nature belong to the yang in the left, and women's gentleness belongs to the yin in the right. "Male left and female right" also has practical scientific significance in the application of traditional Chinese medicine. "Male left and female right" refers to the physiological differences between men and women in medicine. In traditional Chinese medicine, a man takes qi in his left hand to divide the pulse, and a woman takes blood in her right hand to divide the pulse. Even if the child is sick, he will observe the handprint and adopt the habit of "male left and female right". This is the origin of "male left and female right". This custom, which has been followed to this day, existed as early as the Warring States period more than two thousand years ago. Of course, whether "male left and female right" can really express the physiological differences between men and women is another question.
