Rings were always worn for protection - such an amulet was originally intended to protect the owner from the evil of others, preserve vitality, and “hide” from envious glances and slander.

Wedding rings and age-old wisdom
To understand what wedding rings should be like, you can study several signs.
Sign 1.
A symbol of the smooth flow of life together is an even, unadorned ring. You cannot choose with protruding stones - they can become obstacles in family life. Winding waves turn into complexities and insoluble problems.
Today.
Wedding rings come in different varieties. Often we can simply be amazed by the imagination of the artist who created this or that ring. It can be done:
- from gold of different colors, including combined;
- be inlaid with stones;
- gold with a matte surface and diamond-cut inscriptions;
- decorated with designs, intricate patterns or with name engraving.
All options are suitable for those who do not believe in omens. But are they really that useless?
A wedding ring is the only piece of jewelry that a couple wears their entire life. They don’t take it off at night, they go on business trips with it and go to work and holidays. In the end, without taking it off, they clean the apartment, wash the dishes, and do the laundry. There are many more options when you need to use your hands in everyday life.
Matte gold is very easy to leave marks on. White gold needs to be protected from household chemicals, just like stones. Even a diamond will tarnish when exposed to aggressive environments. If you do all the work with gloves or you have a housekeeper in your house, then you can easily choose non-standard rings to suit your taste.
Do you need to take care of a smooth, glossy engagement ring? Without a doubt. But there are no pores in which dirt will clog, it is easier to clean and bring to shine. In addition, it will not interfere with your work, unless, of course, it involves physical labor.
Two metals in the engagement ring are suitable for those who like to combine different jewelry. In this case, you can buy other jewelry in different colors. And at the same time they will be in harmony with the chosen engagement ring.
Sign 2
. You cannot buy rings from different stores. They must be selected at the same time and in the same place.
Today.
A man's and a woman's wedding ring may be different. But they must be made in the same style. Each jeweler from whose hand the product came from has his own unique handwriting. And if you want your rings to look the part, you really need to buy them from the same store.
Rings may differ from each other. A woman may prefer stone inlay, while a man may choose a smooth surface. But if the rings are made of two types of gold or have a matte or white insert, then it should be on two rings.
Sign 3.
When choosing a ring based on signs, please note that you cannot wear jewelry from any relative. For example, grandparents' rings can only be worn if they celebrated their gold wedding.
Today.
The long life together of your grandparents and parents should have instilled in you the right attitude towards your family. It is in those families where love, loyalty and happiness live that happy children grow up. A ring passed down by inheritance will keep love in your heart and a reminder of the best moments in your life. And you know that after 50 years of marriage, you will be able to pass it on to your grandchildren.
Family traditions are the foundation, the foundation that holds peace in the home. And my grandmother’s ring will serve as a reminder. Therefore, this is more likely not a sign, but rather how the human psyche works.
Sign 4.
Before the wedding, you should not show off your rings to strangers. And under no circumstances are engagement rings allowed to be measured by other people. It is believed that any person can take good energy and give the ring black, which will pass on to your family.
Today.
It’s up to you to believe or not to believe in magic, conspiracies, different energies present in things. But a wedding is such a pure and very personal celebration, despite the abundance of guests, that it is better not to take risks and act in accordance with the sign.
In addition, the envy that a ring can cause is a strong feeling. And it is unknown what they will whisper to you about your future husband or wife. Keep the secret, live YOUR life and build YOUR destiny.
Modern jewelry - amulets of new times
What are the black rings called? They are usually named by the type of material used:
- Rhodium-plated jewelry can be made from any metal, and a noble dark shade is given to them by coating with rhodium particles - this strengthens the product and makes it not susceptible to oxidation;
- ceramic rings are made from metal ceramics - they look amazingly beautiful on the hand, can have an exquisite shape, and are often decorated with stylish geometric inserts;
- carbon rings have three advantages at once - they are lightweight, resistant to damage, and the material itself is quite flexible, so jewelry can easily be given an original shape.
Black gold
Black color is a symbol of elegance, nobility, and restraint. Accessories designed in such a sophisticated style always attract attention. It is not surprising that black gold wedding rings are becoming increasingly popular today. Color in this case does not play any special mystical role. True, you can enhance the effectiveness of the wedding amulet with the help of suitable precious stones or a secret spell applied to the metal rim on the inside.
Black rings have begun to appear more and more often on the shelves of jewelry stores. The black ring looks stylish, exclusive, and practical to wear. In addition, it is universal, as it fits with any look or outfit. This decoration emphasizes the solidity of its owners.
Black ring with stone
Why are black ceramic and carbon rings popular today?
In the 1990s, we loved gold, but most often heavy gold jewelry was worn by people of low culture, so now massive chains and rings are somewhat vulgarized. And now the mood in society is completely different, more and more people are saving on jewelry. Modern young people can easily spend 50,000 - 60,000 rubles on a smartphone, but they are not ready to spend even 5,000 rubles on jewelry.
To some extent, this is an unreasonable value system, because gold has been steadily rising in price in recent years, and after a couple of years a smartphone goes into the trash can. But today we will not delve into the reasonableness and appropriateness of purchases.
The materials of modern jewelry can reflect advances in science and technology. For example, carbon rings. This material is often associated with fast cars and gadget cases. Therefore, carbon rings reflect the owner’s passion for high technology and the future in general. The use of carbon fiber in jewelry symbolizes the development of technological progress, which is gradually making its way into the jewelry world.
Black carbon rings can also better suit your style and reflect your state of mind. And sometimes these decorations have a symbolic meaning, for example, to indicate belonging to one of the minorities.

Black rings are made from various metals:
- gold;
- silver;

- tungsten carbide;
- metal ceramics.
Gold can be given a black color in several ways:
- Alloying metal with cobalt and chromium. This oxidizes the metal, resulting in a deep matte color. This alloy does not cause allergies, is strong and durable.
- Rhodium plating. The ring is plated with rhodium, after which the jewelry has a rich black color. With rhodium plating, you can change the intensity of the color and get a gray, black, matte or glossy shade. This treatment is also used for rings with stones.

- Amorphous carbon coating. This is a complex method and is therefore rarely used.
Beliefs associated with wearing rings
Jewelry on the human body at all times was not only aesthetic in nature, but also had a mystical aura. Thus, women always carefully choose pendants and necklaces, since their location, according to many beliefs, affects human health. As for rings, a person’s fate largely depends on what stone adorns the jewelry and on what finger the jewelry is worn. However, there are some general signs regarding these jewelry:
- Rings often act as a talisman. It is believed that the vicious circle does not allow many diseases and illnesses to pass through. In ancient times, a man with a ring did not circle himself with a sword during battle, believing that he was already well protected.
- Family rings, which the older generation bequeathed to the younger, were necessarily charmed for good luck. People believed that such a person was tirelessly watched over by his ancestors and protected from troubles in life. The loss of a family heirloom was considered a harbinger of major bad luck in life.
- However, esotericists say that if you lose an ordinary ring, even a gold one, then you should not consider it a bad sign. People believed that if a ring fell from a finger, then one or more sins would be removed from the person along with it.
- A good omen is the discovery of gold jewelry, which means an imminent marriage. But it was possible to wear jewelry only after the item was consecrated in the church and cleansed with water and fire. In the old days, people believed that along with someone else’s jewelry, someone else’s fate could fall on a person. In European countries there was a belief that the Devil could throw a gold ring, and the girl who found it would become the bride of dark forces.
- Also, according to many superstitions, you should not let strangers try on headbands, since you may accidentally give away a piece of good luck.
- Sometimes young girls ask their mothers to put a ring on their finger to convey the protection of their family. Often, older women read the prayer “Save and Preserve” to protect their daughters from evil forces.
- Sometimes jewelry was used for medicinal purposes, to get rid of pain in joints or teeth. To do this, the ring was placed in water, after which they washed their face or rinsed their mouth with it. From a scientific point of view, water in which you hold silver jewelry can help relieve toothache. Silver weighing 5 grams releases trace elements that have an anesthetic effect on humans.
- It was also believed that the ring protected a girl in the process of giving birth. The ring shape closes the baby's path and reduces the risk of miscarriage. Before giving birth, the woman removed absolutely all jewelry to make the birth of the child easier.
- There is also such a sign - if you look at the leaving husband through the wedding ring, he will return back to the family.
Pros and cons
Before purchasing black wedding rings, you should understand some of their features:
- In most cases, it will not be possible to change the size of such a ring.
- If the ring is accidentally damaged or broken, the likelihood of recovery is low.
- In an emergency, cutting the jewelry and removing it from your finger (for example, in case of severe swelling) will not work—it will have to be broken.
The list of restrictions may vary depending on which method of making black wedding rings is chosen.
If the disadvantages do not stop you, check out the advantages:
- Most black rings are durable and wear-resistant. They are almost impossible to accidentally damage or break.
- Many (not all) of these decorations are hypoallergenic. Hypoallergenic means that the risk of an allergic reaction is minimal.
- Variety of designs. Black jewelry is unusual in itself. Designers skillfully use this effect, enhancing it many times over.
The cost of black wedding rings depends on the metal chosen. If you wish, you can buy a pair for 1000 rubles, or tens of times more expensive.
Thumb ring
In girls, the thumb is responsible for logic and the assimilation of knowledge. Also, the ring on this finger helps to develop masculine character traits, namely will, courage and the desire to win. If a woman lacks such qualities, then she should wear a gold ring on the thumb of her right hand. Red stones carry powerful energy. However, if such qualities predominate in a woman’s character, then young girls should wear jewelry on their left hand. This will soften the character a little and make it more feminine. If you are used to wearing jewelry exclusively on your right hand, then change the gold ring to a silver one.
Young men consider the thumb to be a symbol of masculinity. During the Middle Ages, archers wore a similar decoration on the index finger made of leather or bone. The ring was not only a distinctive sign of good warriors, but also helped protect fingers from the traumatic recoil of the bowstring. Those men who prefer to put a ring on their thumb increase their qualities such as masculinity and sexual energy. For young men there is no difference on which hand to wear the ring, but it is believed that it is better to do it on the right hand.
The most trendy models of black wedding rings
What options for black gold wedding rings does the jewelry market offer us today?
- Classic rings without the additional use of precious inserts. The color of the products can vary from dark gray to deep black.
Index finger ring
The index finger, according to esotericists, is responsible for ambition and leadership. Decoration on the index finger can provoke a person to anger or emotional outbursts. For choleric women, gold rings on the index finger of the right hand are contraindicated. The best decoration would be a silver ring with a light blue stone or pearl. The ring on the same finger of the left hand will protect you from other people's anger and rage. The product can also be decorated for better protection with a stone that matches your date of birth.
Among men, kings, emperors, conquerors and charismatic leaders have always worn rings on their index fingers. This decoration allows young men to strengthen their strong-willed energy and improve their oratory abilities. Also, a gold ring on the second finger of your right hand will help you make an informed decision. Wearing gold on the left hand has the opposite effect - a man can become a despot and tyrant.
Ring in modern times
Of course, nowadays few people think about the symbolism and power of this decoration, the properties of its materials and stones. At best, they will pay attention to the finger they are wearing - it is also not chosen at random.
Ring with runic inscriptions
A reasonable question arises: if there is so much magic in the ring, then why is it not used for conspiracies and witchcraft in our world? They use it and how! We are not talking about witches and sorcerers in the usual medieval sense, but those who are close to this topic usually wear silver rings with runic writing, images of lunar phases, and other magical signs and symbols.
The ring is the focus of sacred meanings and secrets, it is the eternity of time and feelings, tangible reality and divine breath
Choose wedding rings together or separately
It is believed that the groom should choose the wedding rings. However, it is quite easy to make a mistake in choosing - at least, you can buy the wrong size. Not all rings can be rolled out, that is, increased in size. Therefore, it is better to choose wedding rings together
. In this case, the risk of making a mistake in size will be completely eliminated.
Your wishes for what your wedding rings should look like can be completely different. It's better to decide on a design before the wedding. Perhaps this moment will be the first test for the future family. Go through it together.
