Why does the ring burst?

Their purpose was not only to emphasize status and decorate hands, but they were also used as a talisman against the evil eye and flows of negative energy, for religious rituals and protection of the owner. Therefore, if a situation occurred that caused the ring to burst, then this became a harbinger of negative moments in life.
Particular importance was attached to the omen if gold or silver jewelry broke on a finger. Even a simple chip or chip can say a lot.
Common interpretations of why a ring breaks or bursts are:
- for a couple who is officially married, the sign indicates the infidelity of one of the spouses;

Cracked engagement or wedding ring

The ring is a mystical object with which a lot of different superstitions, predictions and legends are associated. Everyone knows that when a ring on your finger breaks, it is not a good omen. But what exactly can happen after such an event is worth examining in more detail. There are very different interpretations of omens and do not always predict the onset of inevitable misfortunes.
Ring colors and their meanings
Mood rings respond in color to changes in body temperature. Some still believe that the ring responds to emotions, however, this is just a marketing ploy. Liquid crystals used in the manufacture of jewelry are often used in medicine, for example, to diagnose various inflammations.
Mood rings respond in color to changes in body temperature
The connection between reality and advertising in this case is as follows: the human body reacts to changes in mood, temperature changes, and sometimes blood pressure, and it is at this point that the ring changes color. As a result, you can notice that the decoration reacts, for example, to strong excitement or anger, since with these emotions the blood begins to circulate faster.
Colors come in a variety of colors and even have their own interpretation, which was jointly developed by psychologists, marketers and medical specialists.
For example, blue is a signal of good health and vigor, green is of calm and tranquility, yellow is strong excitement or overexcitement, orange is confusion and anxiety, red is strong emotions such as anger, joy or hatred, brown is depression and lethargy, black – severe frustration, depression, gray – nervousness and impatience, amber – fatigue, a person strives for relaxation, purple – happiness, a large number of positive emotions.
However, this interpretation may not fully correspond to reality. Do not forget that the ring reacts not only to mood, but also to well-being, and each human body is individual. In addition, the liquid crystals themselves may also vary, resulting in differences in color tone. After purchasing a ring, you can create an individual classification of colors; you just need to spend a little time on this - observe your own feelings and the reaction of the jewelry to them.
Well-being is also an important factor that affects the color of the ring. For example, constant black or dark blue color is a sign of cardiovascular disease. Don’t forget about the ambient temperature, since liquid crystals also react to it.
In cold weather the ring will always be dark, and in hot weather it will be light. But sometimes decoration can still give a hint about the mood of the interlocutor, which, however, still cannot be completely trusted.
Signs if your wedding ring is cracked
Wedding rings are a symbol of unbreakable love and a strong marriage. Spouses wear them all the time, and it is these jewelry that can warn if something goes wrong in the family.

- If the ring on your finger is unnaturally deformed, someone is jealous of the family’s well-being, trying to spoil it, or jinx it.
Why does a given ring break?
Breakage of donated rings should only be considered if a gold or silver piece of jewelry has broken on your finger. Various costume jewelry and products made from cheap metal do not have magical powers, cannot influence the owner and are not subject to signs.
When an item presented as a gift cracks, it is worth remembering who gave it. The relationship with this person will soon end due to betrayal or other ignoble act on his part.
A ring given by a mother or grandmother (heirloom) cracks on the finger, indicating that the wearer needs the support of his ancestors. Thus, the antique item takes away all the negativity and prevents the onset of bad events.
Is it possible to wear damaged jewelry?
A ring, like any other thing, can break - there is nothing surprising about it. But you shouldn’t continue to wear such jewelry on your finger.

From the point of view of folk wisdom, jewelry with fallen stones threatens with adversity and deterioration of the financial situation.
Suitable options for burst products:
- Do not spare cheap jewelry, throw it into running water;
- Expensive copies should be repaired, then burned with the fire of a church candle;
- The illuminated marriage symbols, after repairs, are brought to the temple a second time. If restoration is impossible, they are given to charity.
What to do with a breakdown
Our ancestors knew why a ring on a finger bursts, and they came up with several ways to protect themselves from future misfortunes and neutralize the omen:
- broken jewelry was thrown into the fast river;
- they were buried in a vacant lot far from the roads;
- ritual rings (“Save and Preserve”) were taken to the church in the form of donations.
As for modern methods, most often a damaged item can be melted down. An old, worn-out ring will be turned into a completely new piece of jewelry that you can continue to wear on your finger. To completely neutralize the sign, before putting it on, you can hold it over a candle flame for several minutes.
If the breakdown concerns the wedding ring of one of the spouses, in order to avoid conflicts and discord in the family, both the husband and wife need to purchase new jewelry. Before exchanging them, they take the oath of fidelity again, as on the wedding day.
The sign of a broken ring on your finger is not a death sentence or a sign of inevitable troubles. Since ancient times, our ancestors knew not only what to expect if a ring broke, but also how to avoid the consequences of the omen or at least reduce them.
