Wearing jewelry is something casual for most people; we tend not to think about these things much more than the fact that it looks and feels great. Yet some will tell you that there is very much a significance to the jewelry you wear and where you wear them, especially when it comes to rings. If you’re at all familiar with palmistry, you’ll know that each part of the hand is different to the next, and likewise so are each of the fingers on the left hand versus the right hand – the left hand receives energy while the right hand gives energy. The most commonly known ring finger is the one married couples wear. It symbolizes love, union, loyalty and some have even said there’s a vein that runs through the ring finger of the left hand directly to the heart. But what about the other four fingers? Here’s everything you need to know about crystals in rings and where you should wear them. 

Pinky Finger

If TV and movies have taught us anything about jewelry, it’s that pinky rings are for mafia bosses and pimps. Jewelry enthusiasts will say wearing a ring on this finger represents sophistication or a certain type of eccentricity, and they wouldn’t be wrong. The pinky finger corresponds to the planet Mercury, the planet of communication as he is known as the Messenger of the Gods. Mercury is said to stand for intelligence, creativity, intuition, and persuasion. Creative people tend to exude all these qualities, which is why you’ll often find that a lot of artists wear a ring on this finger. The pinky ring also represents strength. Here are some crystals you should wear on this finger given their attributes. 

  • Amethyst protects and aligns the chakras while promoting intuition.
  • Citrine energizes the solar plexus chakra (willpower) while stimulating the imagination.  
  • Moonstone nurtures and soothes while opening doors of new opportunities. 

Ring Finger 

Ring fingers correspond to love and relationships, but can also represent creativity and beauty. It is a symbol of commitment and promise, and while people often wear their wedding band on the left hand, in some countries it’s common to wear it on the right hand. Single persons will often wear a ring on this finger to symbolize celibacy or their commitment to themselves. Wearing a crystal on this finger can also help to form a deeper connection to other people. The ring finger corresponds to the Sun, bringing energy, health and sexuality.

If you feel tied down, wearing crystals on your thumb can liberate you, not only from a mental prison, but also from the expectations of others. Because it governs physical energy, thumb rings can also help to absorb the energy you wish to exude. Try these crystals as thumb rings.
