Men's rings are a great addition to any style.

For many centuries, rings have been a distinctive sign that symbolizes the power and might of its owner. With their help, one could easily understand what a person does and what social position he occupies. Using this decoration, people holding high positions, as well as persons close to them, distinguished themselves from the crowd, emphasized their uniqueness and significance.

In order to become the owner of a ring, people paid a lot of money to jewelry masters by adding precious stones to the rings. As a patronizing sign and providing protection, persons from high classes made gifts in the form of rings to their subjects. Such a step symbolized a sense of gratitude.

In order to approve any significant documents of a state and financial nature, not only the signature of a high-ranking official was needed. Many owners of large organizations, as well as famous people, left a seal with their rings, and this was a mandatory procedure. The rings were also used to sign letters. Any man who had authority was required to have his own signet.Each imprint on the seal was unique.

All these traditions and customs from the past have led to the fact that now rings for the male half of humanity have gained great popularity and show a symbol of wealth, as well as position in society. In this regard, rings are actively presented at various celebrations and holidays.

Men's rings with stones are very popular. When creating jewelry, precious and semi-precious stones are used.

Diamond refers to the universal option. Due to the transparency and colorlessness, the stone looks presentable, adding incredible showiness to the products. Diamond rings are the pinnacle of jewelry craftsmanship. Such jewelry looks much more beautiful than rings that use inserts of ruby ​​and emerald or amber.

Many choose rings with cubic zirkonia. This stone belongs to the category of artificial minerals and is an optimal replacement for a natural precious mineral. If you don't have enough money to buy a diamond ring, cubic zirconia is a good alternative.

Products with alexandrite are in great demand among wealthy people. Royalness is associated with this stone, because this precious mineral is very rare and expensive. Such a gem is considered the most beautiful stone.

Onyx rings are an excellent choice for every man. The black stone maintains the severity of the style, and the product looks restrained, discreet and spectacular. Onyx belongs to the category of hard minerals that are quite difficult to scratch, so such jewelry can be worn daily without worrying about the safety of the stone.

You can also pay attention to rings with other colorless and black stones. Products with stones of soothing colors look great: with obsidian, agate. Each of them can be a worthy gift for a male, while not destroying the main style, unlike a ring with bright minerals, which include stones with sapphire or amethyst.

Chrysolite rings will look gorgeous, and with artificial lighting they practically do not differ from products with emerald. Pay attention to light or pale stones. Rings with opal, quartz, amethyst and turquoise will add aristocracy and sophistication. Remember that pearls are never placed on men's rings. This stone is exclusively for women.

You can also find men's rings with aquamarine, jade, chrysoprase, lapis lazuli, citrine, amber, hematite, tiger's eye, topaz, carnelian and other types of natural stones.

Take a closer look at the products in which there are garnet inserts. It used to be that the owner of such a ring would always have a cheerful spirit, courage and self-confidence.

When choosing a men's ring, remember that it should be in harmony with the image of a man. In order not to make a ridiculous purchase, think about which ring will fit perfectly with the usual wardrobe of a man. Sometimes it is not so easy to make a choice, because the stores offer a variety of options.

A ring that has a clear geometric shape and does not contain stones will look great with both formal clothes and casual outfits. Also, it is worth noting the easy care of such products.Large stones of bright colors, on the contrary, create an interesting and spectacular image. It should be borne in mind that rings of this kind will not look good on every man.

If we talk in detail about the forms of men's rings, then there are six types in total:

• Round. Rings of this shape are characterized by a rounded top. These products are distinguished by elegance and restraint, compared to other types.

• The straight oval is the most popular, because rings of this shape are easily engraved. Products are traditional and always look chic, although they have a share of conservatism in their appearance.

• The Oxford uniform is a square with a rounded edge. This form gives elegance. Products are heavy in weight, and therefore not every man will feel comfortable when wearing such a ring.

• The onion-shaped oval will suit the owner who loves massive and weighty jewelry.

• The octahedron-shaped rings are a modern adornment. They look great with jeans and a jacket.

• Cushion is one of the most popular form since the Victorian era. The subtlety and elegance of such products immediately catches the eye.

If you decide what shape and design of the ring you need, then you should choose the type of alloy or metal. The following materials are the most popular:

• precious metal: these include platinum products, as well as all types of gold;

• stainless steel: due to the stylish design and showiness, these rings are popular. Jewelry made of surgical steel is also in demand;

• titanium rings: they are distinguished by an original muted matte shade.Also, such rings have strength and durability;

• Tungsten carbide products are an alloy that is 5 times stronger than steel and 4 times harder than titanium. Such material does not bend or scratch. It should be noted that rings made of this alloy are not subject to size change;

• ceramic: the fashion for such rings arose not so long ago, but quickly gained its popularity among a wide audience. Rings made of this material are lightweight and do not feel on the finger.

• There are gold-plated products, which are also in high demand. Rings are almost indistinguishable from gold jewelry and are more affordable. However, it is not advisable to take water procedures in these decorations so that the coating does not peel off.

The color scheme of the rings is not the last role. The jewelry should be in harmony with other rings or with a watch bracelet. For example, if a man already wears a white gold ring, then the second ring should be made of a similar metal.

Muslim men's rings are a special category among jewelry. As a rule, Muslims prefer to wear rings on their fingers, on which there are beautiful stones. It must be remembered that in the Muslim religion it is forbidden to wear gold items. Not every ring can have a stone, most jewelry has the usual image of a crescent moon.

The ban on gold, according to an old legend, appeared by the decision of the famous prophet Muhammad, who compared this metal with hellish flames.He put a piece of red silk in one hand and an ingot of gold in the other and declared that both things are forbidden for men and women who are Muslims. Since then, no one in this religion wears jewelry made of gold and silk products.

The ban on gold does not affect the beauty of products. In any jewelry store, you can pick up a silver or other metal ring with various stones. Many rings are combined with a bright semi-precious stone, which has a beneficial effect on its owner. Products with ruby, garnet, sapphire and other stones are very popular among Muslims.

Another type of rings, which are also popular among the male category of the population, is the Orthodox ring with the "Save and Save" cross. Such products are considered a talisman. Since ancient times, they were sold in monasteries, and in the 19th century, jewelers began to make these rings. Every Orthodox person should have a pectoral cross. It does not belong to the category of jewelry, but is considered a symbol of his faith.

Such amulets guide and protect. Therefore, for a believer, a ring with a cross also symbolizes faith and protection and is equated with body crosses. Today you can buy not only silver rings "Save and Save", but also gold ones. In addition to the cross, words from a prayer are added to them, which are of great importance for believers and are an appeal to a higher power.

There are also Slavic rings. Since ancient times, they have been considered amulets due to their closed form. It was believed that energy circulated in it, which provided a connection between the owner of the ring and the spirits protecting his Family.

The ring-circle symbolized endless action in the form of a wheel from the celestial chariot of the famous god Perun. This god protected the Russian people from various diseases and misfortunes. Therefore, you can give these rings to a man as a talisman and a symbol of good luck, victory.

Previously, the coat of arms of the family, to which the owner of the jewelry belonged, or the usual initials were depicted on the ring. It is worth noting that the picture had a mirror effect. When a person put a seal on paper and other surfaces, the correct pattern remained.

Today, you can engrave after buying a ring or order a piece of jewelry directly from jewelers. The image of the initials or a memorable date, wishes, will make the thing personalized and will always be a reminder, and maybe even a symbol of something.

There are several ways in which you can find out the size of the ring for a man. The easiest way to find out the size is based on the ring you already have. Take the jewelry to the jewelry store, and an experienced specialist will help you choose the right option.

• visit a jewelry store during the day, because in the evening the finger may swell;
• for the same reason, you should not make a purchase in the heat or, conversely, on a cold day;
• tedious trying on rings can also contribute to the fact that the finger swells. Raise your hand and hold it upright for a while in order for the situation to change.
