A man can only choose one jewelry, except for the watch, there can be no bracelet, no necklace, but not without a ring. Because the position is the most conspicuous, there are many concave shapes, and it can appear in the sight of others in various ways with the movement of the hand.
A ring can save rustic wear, today to talk about the style of the ring and how to wear it.
In fact, it does not matter what kind of finger is worn on, it is nothing more than a betrothed. Modern people rarely care about this, and the most important thing is to wear a good look and a good product. But before you study how to wear it, you must first figure out your own style.
The most British gentlemanly way to wear it is probably to wear a signet ring on the little thumb. From the last century, the European upper class, the aristocracy, and the Italian gangster godfathers liked to wear a sealed tail ring, which was a symbol of status and power.
If it is made of expensive and rare jewelry, there are red and emeralds, amethyst, garnet, chicken blood stone, chalcedony, etc., representing a person's honor and wealth. If it is made of gold, platinum, etc., although the material is not expensive enough, the badge on it is not something that everyone can have, which represents a unique status.
Signet Rings, the word Signet comes from the Latin signum, meaning symbol. The earliest dates back to the Mesopotamian era in 3500 BC. People hung a cylindrical seal into a pendant around the neck, and when used, it can be rolled to form a pattern to confirm the authenticity of the document.
In ancient Egypt, Pharaohs made seals into rings to show their status. In biblical stories, seals symbolize identity and trust.
One tells the story of a prodigal son who squanders outside and returns home in a daze, where his benevolent father forgives him and gives his son a badge ring symbolizing glory and status. One is that Jesus said to the faithful Zerumbabel around him, "I will reuse you, and I will make you my coat of arms ring, for I have chosen you." ”
These two stories reinforce the importance of the signet ring in the bipolar worlds of high society and gangster society.
From the Middle Ages onwards, almost all nobles would create rings engraved with family coats of arms or heraldic seals as a family symbol and passed on from generation to generation. In addition to highlighting the identity and power of the family, it can also be used to wax the opening of the envelope, killing two birds with one stone.
Prince Charles, for example, has been wearing a sealed tail ring on his left hand. Built by Welsh Gold, it has a history of 175 years.
Prince Philip, who had just died, was also, according to Western tradition, the left hand showed the luck that God had given you, and it was convenient for the right hand to rotate and stamp, so their rings were usually worn on the left hand.
In addition to the royal family and nobles, some political and business celebrities also liked it. Churchill, for example, but he liked to wear the ring on his right hand.
As for why gang members like to wear it? In addition to manifesting status, there is also a reason to convey trust or indicate affiliation.
This is especially true in the movie "The Irishman". With the phrase "There are only three fingers in this world that can wear this ring, and only one is Irish," Philadelphia mob boss Russell gives Frank one of three rings that symbolize trust among his partners and represent the power of the Mafia family.
Al Pacino, the boss in The Godfather, also wears a signet ring on his little finger.
Whether it's celebrities or gangsters, they're suit wearers. Now, members of some of Britain's older gentlemen's clubs generally have their own badge rings. If you are not an aristocrat, you can print the letter combination of your name on it.
The signet ring is matched with a suit and is the most British gentleman's style of dressing. If it echoes the watch on the wrist, it is even more divided.
After talking about suit culture, let's look at retro culture. Generally speaking, men who like retro style can basically be divided into Japanese and American, and these two styles determine the different styles of silver jewelry worn.
Japanese, more pursuit of simplicity but not simple. Not the most, but the best, the most classic. A delicate feather, eagle, and skull ring can highlight the temperament.
If you wear one, there is no problem with which finger you wear, except the thumb. If not on other fingers, never wear it on your thumb. If you really want to wear it, you can choose one between the middle finger and the thumb.
If you wear two, you can wear one on each hand, but it is best to wear it on different fingers. For example, the left index finger, the right middle finger; the left middle finger, the right hand ring finger and such laws.
Or wear it on the same hand, next to each other or with one finger apart.
Of course, it can also be stacked on the same finger, such a wearing method, in addition to looking good, there is also a function, that is, if one of the rings is not suitable and easy to fall off, you can use the other to get stuck to prevent it from falling off.
However, if you have two rings on top of each other on one finger, it is best to have three or four rings on your entire hand. If not, it seems too abrupt and thin.
As for the American style, in fact, the wearing method is roughly the same as the Japanese style. If I had to say something different, americans might prefer to wear more. Wear a few, how to wear, and master the balance.
The early Flying Riders in the United States liked to wear their entire hands, but they did not want to look good, but to replace the finger tiger that was banned by the police at that time, so that the fist that was thrown out was more intense.
The big ring they wear is not the American ring in our usual sense, but it is very large and rough, can not be said to be fine, can only be said to be a good-looking metal product. The rings, called "Mexican biker rings," were usually made of silver and copper, because at the end of the Mexican Revolution, coins became worthless and were stripped of their rings. Turquoise was also once popular. Graphic elements include Indian heads, Aztec warriors, anchors, horseshoes, skeletons, etc.
There is also a kind of stacking that is biased towards fashion and fashion style. For example, those Rockstars and Rappers in North America often wear ten fingers full. Some designers, such as Karl Lagerfeld of Lafayette and Alessandro Michele, Gucci's creative director, are eager to wear dozens of pieces.
In general, it is what clothes to wear with what rings. Wear a little retro Japanese, choose some Japanese silver jewelry brands, such as Stop Light, goro's, etc., biased towards The Indian style. Wear the American retro a little, choose the American silver jewelry brand, such as Chrome Hearts, Gaboratory, etc., biased towards the Harley-style rugged style. Of course, this is also a bit of a generalization. There are also American brands that do Indian style, or blend the two. In short, the style corresponds to the line.
As for the brand, I have introduced a lot of NIS before. Today we will introduce some European and American silverware brands.
Hoorsenbuhs is an emerging brand from the United States, founded in 2015 by fashion photographer Robert G. Keith.
Although the brand is very young, it is popular and sought after by many celebrities. For example, Beckham and Fei Dong. The brand's workshop is in California, where all silverware is handcrafted by artisans. Best known for its horseshoe design, which has become the brand's identity.
Gaboratory, which many people call the originator of silver jewelry and the king of silver jewelry, is considered by many players to be a legendary brand with real collectible value. Founded in 1988 by the chief manager Gabor Nagy, he has launched many classic styles, in addition to skulls, crowns, and many animal elements, such as pit bulls, lion heads, leopard heads, etc.
Gaboratory's design and craftsmanship has always been sought after by the European, American and Japanese silver jewelry circles because of the brand's unique gray-and-black formula and inexhaustible roughness. It seems careless, but it is actually deliberate, and the style is retro enough.
Gaboratory also influenced many later well-known brands, all of which were founded after apprenticeships, the most representative and well-known being Chrome Hearts and Bill Wall Leather.
