There’s more to rings than symbolizing the love between you and your partner — they can also be great accessories just for you. Upgrade your jewelry collection by adding rings alongside your gold chains for men.Since you can’t function throughout the day without using your hands, rings are the perfect foundation for upgrading your sense of style and fashion. Read on to learn more about ways to incorporate rings into your everyday look.

Tip 1: Consider Your Metals

Sticking to one metal was once a fashion norm. There’s nothing wrong with this — it’s a great way to create a clean aesthetic. It’s also a good way to start if you don’t know how to mix metals in a way that you like.

Still, there are so many metals and materials to mix in for beautifully unique jewelry. If you really like a 1970s-inspired chunky wooden ring and a ring that mixes a few metals, it’s fine to enjoy both of them.

If you choose a single-metal look, add diversity by choosing rings featuring unique details that call to you. You can express your personal style while keeping everything in the same metal for a cohesive look.

Tip 2: Count the Rings

When you’re a beginner, it’s best to ease into your approach to learn what works for you and your ring preference. If you’ve never worn rings on your fingers, it can look and feel awkward to suddenly rock three rings on one hand and two on the other.

Instead, aim for balance by counting your rings. When you’re starting out, stick to one ring per hand. For many married men, it’s customary to wear a wedding ring. If you’re doing this, you’re used to wearing a ring on your left hand. Whether you choose the ring finger or index finger on your right hand, ease into adding another ring on the other hand. You might later decide to wear two rings on one hand and one ring on the other. Being conscious of the number of pieces you’re wearing will help you avoid gaudiness.

Tip 3: Let Statement Rings Do Their Job

Statement rings boldly communicate the vibe you’d like to project. They make a clearly defined proclamation about your aesthetic. When pairing any other ring with a statement ring, less is more. Let a statement ring do its job because it’s meant to take over. Avoid the temptation to wear multiple statement rings on one hand. If you’d like to wear multiple rings on one hand, let the other rings be smaller or more subtle in size and shape.

Tip 4: Experiment and Learn What Works for You

Don’t be afraid to look online for inspiration from various fashion influencers. Observe the men around you, and consider how they wear rings. If you work in an office, take a look at how the men wear their rings to accessorize suits or business casual attire. Pay attention to how various rings feel on your hand.

If you spend a lot of time handling tools or moving objects on the job, your rings might feel uncomfortable. If this is the case, you could switch to more streamlined designs or a metal that weighs less.

It can also make a difference when your hands come into contact with other metals. If you’re discovering that metal rings feel uncomfortable while you’re lifting weights or playing sports, consider silicone-based rings, or simply leave your jewelry safe at home while you exercise.

Moving Forward

When you’re approaching the idea of accessorizing with rings, always remember that confidence is paramount. With trial and error, as you put these factors into play, you’ll develop your own style playbook that works for you and enhances your ability to accessorize with rings.
