What does a pinky ring mean for women and men?

The precious green emerald, which has gained popularity, is known for its healing and magical properties. Since ancient times, the stone has served as decoration and a talisman that influences a person’s fate. Rings and rings, which are still popular today, were especially loved. It is believed that the emerald should be worn on the little finger, but the ring can be worn on any finger. It’s just that the mystical and healing abilities of the crystal manifest themselves in different ways.

Symbolism of jewelry

Once upon a time, people attached great importance to the symbolism of jewelry. The rings could tell a lot about their owners: social status, wealth, marital status, state of mind and even mood. Few people wore rings simply as jewelry - in fact, they were handed their own destiny.

Now many ancient sciences have been forgotten, and sacred knowledge has been distorted beyond recognition. People wear jewelry as they please. The exception is, perhaps, wedding, wedding and engagement rings - they are registered on the ring fingers of the owners.

If you choose your jewelry tastefully, you can wear rings on any fingers. Some fashionistas even decorate their toes with them! Several rings on one finger are also acceptable, provided they are combined organically.

However, some places where decorations are located remain original. For example, a man's gold ring on his little finger involuntarily attracts the eye. A pinky ring for a girl also cannot be called a hackneyed solution for any bow - its owner involuntarily finds herself in the center of attention.

Let's see what pinky rings mean for both sexes and what qualities they endow their owners with.

Little finger in palmistry

The little finger is the weakest and smallest finger on the hand. It is never the main thing in everyday manipulations, but without it it is difficult to fully control the hand.

The little finger is the area of ​​responsibility of Mercury (Hermes). This god, one of the many sons of the omnipotent Jupiter (Zeus), became famous for his cunning and ability to pull off any scam.

Hermes was revered in many ancient cultures as the god of trade, eloquence, happy accidents, and also - cunning and theft. Therefore, wearing a ring on the little finger can help develop communication skills, creativity, the ability to build a business and come out unscathed from the most difficult life situations.

God Hermes

Teenagers love to wear pinky rings. And this is natural: the leading activity for young rebels is communication with peers and the outside world (with which many teenagers have problems) and study.

The cunning Mercury and the finger dedicated to it have a huge area of ​​responsibility. By the way, among other things, Hermes was revered in Antiquity as the patron of youth, so the subconscious desire of teenagers to decorate their little fingers with rings is quite understandable.

However, many adults also wear pinky rings. This is especially shown to people whose activities are related to creativity, science, communication, politics, business and the occult sciences. As you can see, the sphere of responsibility of Hermes and the smallest finger on the hand is truly boundless!

What kind of rings are customary to wear on the little finger?

From a style point of view, you can wear absolutely any rings, rings or solitaires on your little fingers. Representatives of the fair sex are sometimes advised to refrain from wearing excessively massive rings on their little fingers, but if a lady can boast of graceful hands with long fingers, then this restriction can be neglected. Moreover, now women's signets are in trend.

Let's consider how esotericism, psychology and, of course, palmistry interpret the presence of a ring on the finger of Mercury:

• Engagement. Often people wear wedding rings this way for the most trivial reason: they have become too small for their ring fingers, and they are either reluctant or impossible to increase the size. However, if the engagement ring has moved to the finger of Mercury, this may indicate that the person does not forget about his own interests even in marriage.
• Golden. Rings and rings made of gold on the little fingers are preferred by extraordinary people with developed creative abilities and communication skills. The presence of such jewelry can help in moving up the career ladder, especially if the profession is related to creativity (actors, designers, artists, writers) or communication (politicians, diplomats, lawyers, journalists).
• Silver. The finger of Mercury decorated with silver is evidence of material wealth and well-being with good taste and a reluctance to stand out too much from the crowd. A sort of marker of aristocracy, so to speak. Young people also prefer to wear silver rings on their little fingers: this is not only a natural desire for a young age to attract attention, but also helps in communication, taming character and learning.

• Copper. A copper ring is an inexpensive, but very fashionable piece of jewelry, endowed not only with unique aesthetics, but also with healing properties. Worn on the little finger, it can extinguish excessive adventurism, outbursts of unmotivated anger, a tendency to narcissism, and also help in the treatment of addictions of any kind.
• Black. When you see a black ring on a person’s finger, you can be sure: this is an amazing nature, prone to constant self-improvement. Most likely, this person is endowed with remarkable intuition and a penchant for mysticism. He is used to being the first in everything and strives for leadership with all his might.
• Ring. A man's pinky ring is a sign of power. Once upon a time, noblemen and very rich merchants wore rings this way, because they used a signet ring to certify documents and record transactions. Nowadays this is how business representatives wear rings, and if the jewelry carries a large stone, they are people who are prone to shocking and narcissistic behavior. Usually these are powerful people who are not inclined to compromise. In addition, a ring on the little finger can mean belonging to some secret society.
• "Bless and save". Church rings on the fingers of Mercury are usually not worn, except when they have become small. However, their presence on the little fingers sometimes helps to develop eloquence, the ability to manage people, calculate risks and think big. What a businessman of any size needs!

Many people do not attach any importance to which fingers they should wear rings on and what these jewelry mean. Fashionable and beautiful - that's enough!

How to wear an emerald

Since ancient times, precious emerald has been endowed with magical powers, the ability to give a person the gift of foresight and an optimistic attitude. Among the numerous healing and mystical properties of emerald, the following stand out:

• combating insomnia, fatigue and nervous tension;
• positive effect on the heart and blood vessels;
• the ability to cure eye diseases;
• helping to build confidence and give a person perseverance;
• attracting good luck in life, increasing material well-being, advancement in career and business;
• protection from ill-wishers, envious people and intriguers.

To maximize the influence of the crystal, you should follow simple rules when wearing jewelry:

1. It is recommended to wear an emerald in a set: two or more items, that is, a ring, earrings, bracelet, necklace or pendant in any combination.
2. A stone worn at the level of the heart has a strong effect.
3. The mineral that absorbs negative energy must be cleansed. To do this, just leave the emerald for several hours in a bowl of clean water.
4. Natural specimens can only be cleaned with water and soap.
5. You should not wear emerald jewelry every day.
6. A pebble of greenish tones soothes and relaxes the eyes and psyche. Therefore, a talisman in the form of a processed gem, placed on the desktop, will help avoid stress and nervous tension, and give clarity of thought and prudence. And for sleep disorders, the amulet is placed at the head of the bed.

Symbolism of stones

Mercury favors a wide range of natural minerals in a wide variety of colors. The color of the decoration insert can in some way adjust its properties:

• Blue. Makes life and attitude to reality easier. However, a ring with a blue stone is not the best solution for people who are already frivolous about life.
• Motley. If you lack a sense of humor and healthy optimism, a variegated stone will make up for these shortcomings. But in areas related to politics or business, wearers of rings with colorful inserts rarely succeed.
• Red. A ring with a red stone on the little finger of a man or woman may mean that the person does not have enough vital energy to realize ambitious plans. But you should be careful: scarlet inserts can harm overly emotional people.
• Violet. Blue and violet colors are especially loved by Mercury. They help stabilize character, develop hidden talents and help find the optimal area of ​​application.
• Green. The entire green palette is the color of life, stability and peace of mind. If you are prone to outbursts of anger, bouts of melancholy or addictions, a ring with a green stone on your little finger will be the optimal solution for overcoming your shortcomings.
• Yellow. Yellow color promotes the development of the emotional sphere in all directions. It can be favorable for overly phlegmatic people, but in emotional natures it can develop incontinence and a tendency to impulsive actions.
• Black. Rings with black stones indicate extraordinary nature and highly developed intuition. However, you shouldn’t get carried away with them: you can unexpectedly find yourself in the ranks of convinced mystics and misanthropes.

Rings with stones on the little fingers can be worn by representatives of all zodiac signs. However, they have a particularly pronounced effect on Gemini and Virgo, because they are under the auspices of Mercury.

Shades of green in gemstones

At Gem Lovers, our gemologists have developed our own system for assessing the color of gemstones. We use it to describe the color of stones on the pages of our catalog, as well as for a substantive conversation with clients about the color of the stone when searching for it to order. This system is based on both general gemological approaches to assessing the colors of precious stones and the possible color ranges we have identified for various varieties, taking into account their trade names and value ratings. According to this system, green stones are divided into three main color groups according to their primary color with an additional shade:

• green (Green);
• bluish green;
• yellowish green.

Further, each of these color groups is divided into gradations of intensity, which are determined by the overall sensation of color depending on the lightness and saturation of the color of the stone:

• pastel (Pastel);
• very light (Very Light);
• light (Light);
• average (Medium);
• strong (Strong);
• intensive (Intense);
• saturated (Vivid);
• deep (Deep);
• dark (Dark).

Thus, the color of the stone will be indicated, for example, as “light bluish green” (Light Bluish Green) or “deep green” (Deep Green). Also, for the main jewelry stones, these color gradations in our company have visual standards in the form of specially calibrated photographs of cut stones. The same principle applies to all green-colored stones: the brighter the color of the stone and the closer it is to pure spectral, the more expensive it is. Therefore, the most expensive stones will be those that have an intense and rich green color. Thus, abroad, the top colors of green stones are often referred to in commerce as “Vivid Green” (“rich green”). It is interesting that often an additional blue tint in trade does not in any way reduce the price of a green stone, but an additional yellow tint in some cases already reduces the value of the stone (for example, in demantoid garnets or peridots).

What does a ring on the little finger mean for men and women?

Pinky rings are a trend that fades and comes back again. Moreover, it covers representatives of both sexes. For example, signet rings for the fingers of Mercury were relevant in the nineties of the last century, and then turned out to be forgotten.

Several decades have passed - and signets have triumphantly returned to the fashion Olympus, further expanding their sphere of influence. Now they adorn not only the hands of the stronger sex, but also the graceful little fingers of beauties of any age.

Let's see what, in addition to following fashion trends, the rings on the little fingers of representatives of both sexes emphasize.

For men

A ring on a man’s little finger means that he wants to be noticed, including by beautiful ladies. Usually, independent but enthusiastic people who are not ready for a serious relationship wear rings this way. The man seems to emphasize: I wouldn’t mind spending time with you, but don’t count on anything more.

If a man wears a silver ring on the little finger of his right hand, this may indicate his tendency towards absolute dominance. Such people are able to go all the way towards their desired goal, destroying all obstacles. This person is usually prone to adventures, intrigue and spontaneous actions.

On the little finger of the left hand there are rings for sophisticated and enthusiastic people. This is how bohemians and recognized heartthrobs wear jewelry. They are always open to love and creativity, but, unfortunately, they are fickle.

Several decades ago, people used this way to designate non-traditional sexual orientation. Nowadays the situation has changed: you can fearlessly declare your sexual preferences, and convinced straight people have begun to wear rings on their little fingers.

For women

The meaning of a pinky ring for women is no less extensive. If you notice a ring on the Mercury finger of a beautiful stranger, rest assured: in front of you is a very interesting person, with whom you will definitely not get bored.

Such women despise boredom and routine, they think outside the box and act accordingly. Despite their pronounced penchant for independence, these ladies skillfully establish connections and build careers in a variety of areas, not always related to creativity. These are solid individuals, but with a pronounced tendency to impulsive decisions and adventurism.

A ring on the little finger of a woman on her right hand means that this is not a submissive female, ready to hang on every word of her interlocutor, but an absolutely independent person, a rebel who despises stereotypes. She will follow you only if you prove your superiority with the right masculine (from her point of view) actions.

The little finger of the left hand is decorated with rings mainly by cheerful and somewhat frivolous people. They have indomitable optimism and are able to fill the most dull companions with a thirst for life. However, you shouldn’t expect swan-like fidelity and absolute submission to a man from such ladies: they are quite happy with an open relationship or a guest marriage.

Main green colored gemstones

Let's look at the most important green gemstones, which are found in the form of transparent gemstones. We have arranged them in descending order of their conditional Gemlovers rating, which takes into account the rarity of the stone, its cost, beauty and hardness.

Green Diamond

Natural green diamonds are extremely rare. Many collectors and investors are hunting for them. Their color is associated with the effect of natural radiation on the structure of the mineral. Often, only the near-surface zones of a rough diamond crystal are colored green. Therefore, after cutting, most of these diamonds lose their rare color. The mass of cut stones is usually represented by specimens up to 1 carat. Note that the hardness of diamond is the highest of all precious stones - 10 on the Mohs scale.

According to the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) system, green diamonds are classified into the following colors with shades: Green, Greyish Green, Bluish Green, Greyish Bluish Green, Greyish Yellowish Green, Gray Yellowish Green, Yellowish Green, Blue-Green, Grey-Green, Yellow- Green. And the following gradations of color intensity are distinguished: Faint, Very Light, Light, Fancy Light, Fancy, Fancy Intense, Fancy Vivid and Fancy Deep. Basically, on the world market, the color of green diamonds is represented by stones of weak saturation, dark specimens, and yellowish ones. The rarest and most valuable color is Fancy Vivid Green. Those. bright green.

Our company can find unique green diamonds for you to order, as well as make jewelry of any complexity with them. These stones will be sourced from collectors and the most reputable suppliers. We will analyze the market for them and provide the best offers. Please note that these days diamonds can also be given a green color artificially by irradiation. Therefore, when purchasing such a stone, we must provide a certificate from the reputable GIA laboratory. It contains information about the natural origin of color, the weight of the stone, characteristics of color and purity, and cutting parameters. In jewelry, small green diamonds usually take center stage in white gold rings, which are often heavily studded with colorless diamonds.

Emerald

Emerald is a precious variety of the mineral beryl. Its hardness is 7.5-8. The most valuable color for deep green stones is Vivid Green. Typically, emeralds have an additional bluish tint. Greens with a yellowish tint are less valuable. The cheapest are light emeralds. In Russia, there is a classification of emerald colors according to specifications, which distinguishes 5 color groups:

1. dark green;
2. medium-dark green;
3. medium green;
4. medium light green;
5. light green.

According to this classification, the most expensive emeralds have 1 color. But keep in mind that too dark “deaf” specimens also end up there. Therefore, it is better to pay attention to your personal impressions of the stone, and not to the numbers of Soviet specifications (developed for Ural emeralds) in the certificate. Most emeralds on the market have 3 and 4 colors according to specifications, and they can be beautiful too. In Gem Lovers, to classify emerald colors, we have identified 4 color groups that correspond to the ranges as in the Specifications, but we have removed the non-liquid, too light 5th color and assigned the following designations to the colors in accordance with the approach to assessing the color of emeralds on the world market:

1. deep green (Deep Green);
2. rich green (Vivid Green);
3. intense green (Intense Green);
4. light green (Light Green).

We recommend our clients to choose emeralds in the Intense Green and Vivid Green color gradations. Please note that almost all emeralds are refined by impregnating the cracks with oils, then the cracks become less noticeable. Visually pure and, at the same time, bright stones without refining are very rare and are highly valued.

Green sapphire

Unlike classic blue sapphires and even emeralds, green sapphires are found thousands of times less often. These are very beautiful stones. And the head of Gem Lovers likes them more than others. The peculiarity of their color is that they are often zonal. In the stone you can see alternating zones of blue and yellow, which, overlapping each other, give the green color of the stone. Hence, there are two main color types of such sapphires: yellow-green and blue-green. Uniformly colored stones are also found, but much less frequently. Such sapphires are very sensitive to the type of lighting. In cold light, the blue shades in the stone appear more strongly. And in warm light, sapphire becomes more yellowish. Stones with low color saturation often appear grayish regardless of lighting.

According to the degree of intensity, the following main gradations of color can be distinguished: medium, strong, intense, saturated, deep. Most of the green sapphires on the world market are without refining, the other part are heated, but their price does not decrease much because of this. Mining of green sapphires is extremely unstable. Each stone is very individual in its color and is not similar to the other. We recommend them for purchase to experienced jewelry lovers. They are great for everyday jewelry because their hardness is very high - 9 on the Mohs scale. This means that they will be less scratched and will retain the shine of their edges longer.

Garnet demantoid

Demantoids are considered the most expensive variety of garnet. They are characterized by strong dispersion (the play of colored flashes in the stone), even stronger than that of diamonds. Typically, demantoids are divided into yellowish-green and bluish-green based on their shades of green. According to color intensity, Gemlovers divide demantoids into 5 groups:

1. deep (Deep);
2. saturated (Vivid);
3. intensive (Intense);
4. light (Light);
5. very light (Very Light).

In the Urals, where the best demantoids are mined, dealers also identify 5 similar color groups, but without describing their names. Colors 1 and 2 are the most expensive. In general, a rich green color, without a yellowish tint, is appreciated. Dispersion is best seen in less expensive yellowish color 4 and 5 demantoid stones, especially round cut stones. Here who likes what more. We can find demantoids to suit every taste. The hardness of demantoid ranges from 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale. Sometimes Ural demantoids are heat treated to give the stones a brighter green color. This fact has virtually no effect on the cost on the world market. But we understand the rarity of untreated specimens and try to find them for our client collectors, including large ones - from 5 carats.

Tsavorite garnet

Tsavorite is another rare and valuable variety of garnet. Typical color is green with a slightly yellowish tint. The darker the stone, the less yellow it becomes and we simply call such stones green. Its color generally looks more advantageous than most emeralds and demantoids; it is brighter.

Gradations of intensity allocated in our company for tsavorites:

• light (Light);
• intensive (Intense);
• saturated (Vivid);
• deep (Deep);
• dark (Dark).

Light colored stones are the least valuable. They are sometimes called mint pomegranates in the trade. The hardness of tsavorite is good - 7-7.5. It is worth noting that tsavorite is one of the few precious stones that are not subject to any refining methods. We recommend this rare stone for purchase in weights from 2 to 5 carats. Such stones look impressive, noticeable, and they become more expensive over time.

Green tourmaline

Green tourmalines in Russia are often called verdelites. Like many other tourmalines, verdelites come in a very wide range of colors. In general, pure green, bluish-green and yellowish-green shades are characteristic. In terms of their intensity, they can be absolutely anything. Verdelites are often represented by dark-colored specimens with a blue tint. Such stones can sometimes even be heat-treated to lighten them. This is not diagnosed in any way and does not affect the cost of the stones. The hardness of all tourmalines is high - 7-7.5. Bright green chrome tourmaline is highly coveted among connoisseurs. It is rare and costs several times more than ordinary green tourmalines. Also expensive are Paraiba tourmalines, which sometimes have a green, bluish-green or yellowish-green color. Their peculiarity is that the color can be neon. Green tourmalines are good because they can be cut to very large sizes (30-40 carats). They are perfect for lovers of cocktail rings.

Chrysolite

Chrysolite is a type of olivine mineral. The name “peridot” itself can be translated from Greek as “golden stone”. The broader name of the gem “olivine” comes from the Latin “olive” - olive, the color of which also resembles this mineral. Thus, the main color of olivine is yellowish-green. It is also brownish-green. In literary sources, “dark green chartreuse” is mentioned as the most beautiful color - it is similar to the color of Chartreuse liqueur, the shade of which is obtained from an infusion of 130 herbs that make up its composition.

From a gemological point of view, the most expensive color of peridot will be this - rich yellowish-green. In general, according to intensity, they can be divided into the following groups: light, strong, intense, saturated. The yellower the color of the chrysolites, the cheaper they are. It should also be taken into account that with different types of lighting, the yellow tint in the stone can appear to varying degrees. The hardness of the olivine mineral is good - 6.5-7. They are not subjected to refinement. For our clients, we try to select the brightest and greenest chrysolites at a reasonable price. And this is not very easy, believe me.

Sphene

Sphenes are rare jewelry stones. Their distinctive feature is very strong dispersion - a play of color flashes in a faceted stone. The color of sphene depends on the impurities. The iron content gives the color yellow, green or even brown. Most specimens on the market are yellowish-green. The most valuable color is bright green, which is due to the chromium content. At Gemlovers, we divide the color intensity of sphenes into the following gradations:

• strong;
• intensive;
• saturated;
• deep.

They are practically never light. Most sphenes are intense. Chromium sphenes from Pakistan can be dark in weights of 5 carats or more. With increasing mass they become even darker. The hardness of sphenes is not high - 5-5.5, so they must be worn carefully in products.

Green zircon

Jewelry-quality zircons are quite rare in nature and come in a variety of different colors. Green zircons are the rarest among them. Usually their color is weakly saturated, the stones appear slightly grayish. But there are also quite bright specimens. Their main color is yellowish-green. Based on intensity, they are divided into medium, strong and intense. The color of the stone is associated with the presence of a small amount of radioactive elements in the structure of the mineral. There are no health hazards to wearing a product with green zircon. We recommend this stone to collectors and advanced gem lovers. The hardness of green zircon is not high - 6 on the Mohs scale. You need to handle it carefully so as not to scratch it. It is very rare that when cut they weigh more than 10 carats, but we have found such large specimens for our clients.

Which hand should you wear rings on?

You can wear the ring on the little finger of your left hand or right hand - as you please. In any case, stylists do not give clear instructions on this matter. First of all, you should be guided by your own considerations about aesthetics and comfort, because many people wear jewelry this way only because they like it, and not as secret signs.

Palmists say that a ring on your right hand symbolizes what you have, and on your left – what you want to achieve. Rings on both little fingers mean that your desires are in harmony with your possibilities.
