Male gold ring

If you want to demonstrate your love for a man, then one of the most effective ways will be to give him a ring that is right for his psychological type.

A man's ring can be a gift not only for a loved one or a husband. You can give it to a father, brother, son or male friend.

Choosing a male ring is usually less tedious than a female one. The main thing is that you have ideas regarding the design that will best suit the user's taste.

For example, if he is a fan of fantasy, you can always please him with a copy of the famous One Ring.

If he is an avid motorcyclist, then you should know that biker rings exist and they value these rings as much as their leather jackets. These are somewhat oversized rings with skull and inlays that resemble chains.

Some of these rings are very impressive and are decorated with snakes, eagles and other wild creatures.

In order to choose a ring suitable for a man, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of male psychology. Most men want to look individually and constantly try to differentiate themselves from other people - be it a haircut, the car he drives, his favorite sport, movies and books.

Ideally, you need to look for a ring that not only is able to satisfy his interests and is to his taste, but will also be combined with the maximum amount of his everyday clothes.

A very nice ring that looks amazing when a man wears his best suit is a good investment, but only if he wears this suit regularly.

Otherwise, the ring turns into an expensive paperweight for most of its life.

Be sure to take into account the characteristics of his hand, with the width of the cross-section of the ring being particularly important.

As a rule, when choosing a male ring, it is about choosing between a thick or thin ring.

The average width of the men's ring 6 mm - 7 mm. If he has thick fingers, it is advisable to choose wide rings, 8 mm or 9 mm.

If he has thin fingers, thin rings (about 6 mm wide) will have the best aesthetic effect.

Wide rings are perceived, as a rule, more masculine, the main thing is that they do not interfere with their owner bending the finger.

There are only two of them - this is a ring directly, that is, a ring with a stone; and ring - signet with a stone, having a figure: engraved or overlay. Such stones are called cameos (convex relief) and intales (with deep relief).

A “signet” that does not have a stone insert cannot be called a ring, it’s just a ring.

The rings can be divided into those that perform a purely decorative function and those that send a certain cultural message.

There are categories of men who wear rings that demonstrate their personal importance in society.

This could be a particular club's ring, family signet, or perhaps the Masonic emblem.

In many armies of the world, veterans can also wear rings denoting their type of troops or even a specific educational institution (they indicate the owner’s data, years of study or service, and even the number of the military unit).

Basketball players or hockey players are also given name rings.

Thus, wearing a ring like a finger, a person receives certain advantages.

He becomes recognizable in the circle of "his", enjoys additional respect and influence.

But the decorative ring on the man’s hand is a bold statement about himself. And here the main thing - do not overdo it.
