September 7, 2021 The question of what rings men can wear still worries fans of luxury jewelry. In many countries of the world, this is not just a decoration for the finger, it is a kind of cultural code that relates a person to an ancient family or social group. In our country, the attitude towards men's rings is much simpler - it is a stylish, expensive and memorable accessory that demonstrates the exceptional status and taste of the owner.
In the Karatov online store you will find a catalog of men's rings from a Russian manufacturer, the prices of which will pleasantly surprise you, and the quality will definitely please you.
What metal is better for a man to buy a ring from?
There are no standards here, everything is individual and depends on the preferences of each person, his income and capabilities. This could be a gold signet decorated with stones, or a more modest signet made of silver.
By the way, the new jewelry should be combined with the existing one: if a man already wears, for example, a gold signet, then the second ring should be made of the same metal.
How to choose a men's ring
The main difference between a ring and a signet is the presence of a large semi-precious or precious stone. The cost of such an accessory is often steep, so jewelry is not affordable for everyone. But rings are also created for exceptional men.
Diamond ring
A white gold ring with a diamond is not an ordinary piece of jewelry. A precious stone shining with wealth and well-being and a discreet but elegant metal are the best of tandems.
Ring with sapphire
A blue gemstone in a massive men's ring looks bright and extravagant. Therefore, the frame for it should be discreet, for example, white gold or platinum.
Ring with ruby
A juicy ruby is not boring in the company of yellow or red gold. It's like they were made for each other. These tandems are considered classic, but such a product cannot be called everyday. Rather, the ring will become a bright element of a thoughtful holiday look.
Ring with onyx
Onyx is often used in men's jewelry. The stone serves its owner as a talisman, helping to achieve goals and overcome difficult life situations.
The signet ring is decorated with onyx plates. This accessory goes well with business style clothing. This is one of the universal decoration options. It is often chosen as a gift for a man who has not worn rings before.
To choose with or without stone?
Men's rings with precious stones, such as diamonds, have always been considered the most stylish. But here, too, everything is individual and depends on the wishes and tastes of the man. Some people like small signets decorated with cubic zirconia, others like massive signets with engraving and without stones. You will have to either casually ask your man about his preferences, or look at the rings that he already wears, or rely on intuition and feminine instinct.
How to wear a ring and signet correctly
To seal a letter or put an imprint on documents, nobles removed the signet from the little finger of their left hand. This is the best place for an accessory - this is still believed today. Firstly, there are no religious traditions associated with this finger in any culture, and secondly, massive jewelry here looks harmonious.
Exceptions apply to family signets: the head puts the decoration on the ring finger of the left hand, while the rest of the family wears it on the ring finger or little finger of the right hand.
The ring can often be seen on the index finger. The arrangement of the accessory is the same in historical portraits. But there are no clear instructions on where to wear jewelry.
How to choose the right ring size?
There are many ways to determine a man's ring size. Here are some of them. The easiest way is to ask. True, then there may not be an unexpected surprise. Another way is to take a ring you already have and take it to a jewelry store. This way you will know exactly the size of the ring and will not go wrong with your choice.
It happens that you can’t take the ring. In this case, a regular sheet of paper will help. Place the ring on it, circle it several times along the outer and inner edges. Using this picture, you can easily determine the size of the ring.
Another common case is that a man has not worn jewelry before and does not know the ring size. Here you have to use your imagination. Invisibly tie his finger with a thread or a strip of paper, a napkin, etc., and then measure the resulting segment. This will be an excellent guide for choosing a ring or signet.
We hope that our tips will help you choose jewelry for your loved one. In the catalog of the Rossyuvelirtorg online store you will find more than 35,000 different jewelry for men: rings, signets, chains, watches, cufflinks and much more.
Types and rules for wearing men's rings
Men do not often wear rings for beauty, moreover, many consider the presence of such accessories unacceptable. However, men's rings appeared much earlier than women's, and wearing them served certain functions: to indicate a place in the social hierarchy, to demonstrate wealth or belonging to a certain community.
The first man in history to attach special significance to his ring was King Solomon. There are a huge number of legends associated with his ring, but they all have one thing in common - the wise inscription “Everything passes, this too will pass,” applied, according to various sources, either to the outer or to the inner part of the product. These words inspired the king and helped him get through the difficult times of his reign.
Types of men's rings
The species diversity of men's rings is small, there are only three of them:
- Ring.
- Ring.
- Signet.
Ring
The classic ring shape has been popular since ancient times among both men and women. Such jewelry has many different functions: there are wedding rings, amulets rings and ring accessories. The latter help a man emphasize his individual style and demonstrate his taste.

A men's ring is a type of ring of larger size and weight that can be decorated with precious stones. As a rule, men prefer products made of noble metal to emphasize their status and wealth.
Signet

The signet is a subtype of the ring. In the classical presentation, it looks like a heavy and large product with a pronounced round or square area, which in the past served as a seal. As a rule, it contains unusual reliefs or imprints, often reminiscent of old-fashioned coats of arms, the shape of which was used to seal letters.
Jewelers Maxim Demidov have created a series of men's rings that combine traditional vision with modern design. Luxurious gemstones of small sizes are used here to emphasize the elitism of the product, but without frills.
How to choose a men's ring
The first thing you should decide on when choosing a ring is its style. It is important to consider the combination of accessories with clothing. For example, with a business suit, rings with classic and strict geometry without bright accents will look advantageous. At the same time, the product should not be lost against the background of the wardrobe, so it is important to maintain a balance: the ring should fit neatly into the image and complement it, but not stand out too much or, conversely, disappear among monochrome fabrics.

If you prefer a casual style of clothing and the “dress code” is alien to you, then feel free to choose rings of fancy shapes, but precious stones may be out of place and contrast too much with everyday clothes. It is also worth taking a closer look at the square-shaped signets.
Rings with colored minerals, such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds, go well with an expensive suit made of noble materials. They will neatly indicate your well-being and give you an even more respectable appearance.
A win-win option for those who don’t like bright colors is a diamond. The colorless stone itself will reveal its nobility through the unique radiance characteristic of all cut diamonds, and all you can do is wear it proudly. At the same time, diamonds go well with the “smart casual” style - a mixture of casual and business clothes, for example, a formal shirt and jacket, but instead of classic trousers, fashionable jeans.
The next most important criterion when choosing a product is its composition. You can choose jewelry from a variety of materials. Most often, men prefer items made of silver or gold. The Maxim Demidov catalog presents rings made of yellow, white and red precious metal.
Finally, when choosing a ring, you need to pay attention to its size. It is necessary to choose jewelry so that it fits snugly on the finger, while a product that is too narrow is also not a suitable option. Ideally, it should barely catch on the bend and fit loosely against the main phalanx of the finger.
How to wear rings
There are no strict rules for wearing men's rings. Only the wedding ring in Russia is usually worn on the ring finger of the right hand.
But there are also a few comments about the presence of the ring on other fingers.
Thumb - It is not customary to wear a ring on the thumb, so a ring on it speaks of the rebellious spirit of a man who is ready to go beyond conventions. Although psychologists and esotericists note that such a position of the jewelry on a man’s hand may indicate his imperious character and at the same time pure thoughts.
Index finger - small signets are usually worn on this finger and usually bear family heraldry.
Middle finger - rings are located here, designed to emphasize the unique style of the owner and his commitment to a comfortable lifestyle.
Little finger - in Europe, if a man wears a signet on his little finger, he may be mistaken for a high-status family man, although increasingly this placement is used for self-expression.

As for other rules, stylists note that rings made of red and yellow gold should be worn with business suits. It is not recommended to combine rings of different colors, and their sizes should not occupy more than a third of the phalanx.
The most expensive men's rings
The jewelry industry does not deprive the male half of humanity of its attention and creates jewelry worth several million dollars for them.
Perhaps the most expensive and famous men's ring is “The World's First Diamond Ring”, created entirely from diamond by the Swiss company Shawish. Its weight is 150 carats, and its value in 2011 was $70 million. It took a whole year of painstaking work to create this masterpiece, despite the use of the latest laser processing technology to make this idea a reality.
Another men's diamond ring, considered the most expensive, was created in the 17th century and is called the “Wittelsbach-Graff Ring”. The ring received its name in honor of jeweler Lawrence Graff, who purchased the piece for $23.4 million in 2008.
The first owner of the ring was Emperor Philip IV of Spain, who passed it on alternately to his daughter and then to his wives until the ring, after a series of dynastic marriages and changes of ownership, became part of the heritage of the House of Bavaria in the 18th century until 1918.
In the 60s of the last century, the ring came to the jeweler Joseph Kommer, who was supposed to give the stone a new cut. But when he saw the diamond, the master refused to process it for fear of harming its historical value. But Lawrence Graff still polished the diamond, removing the jagged edges and scars. As a result, its weight decreased from 35.56 to 31.06 carats. After this, the ring was sold again, this time to the head of state of Qatar.

Bracelets - men's jewelry for confident people
This accessory is guaranteed to attract attention. And you can’t help but take advantage of this! We have already published an article on the blog about what types of men's bracelets there are and how to choose them. Therefore, I will only note important details that you should pay attention to when giving preference to this type of accessory.
Wrist bracelets are excellent men's jewelry for all occasions
It is best to include a laconic design bracelet in one of the achromatic colors (gray, black or white) in work clothing sets. Ideally, these should be discreet, sophisticated solutions. If the company's office dress code allows casual outfits, then you can purchase a more attractive model made of leather or beads. Choose options in dark and subdued tones that match the color of your suit.

If you plan to have more than one accessory in your look, then it is important to maintain harmony in the look. This is easy to achieve if you do not wear more than three to five bracelets at a time. It is optimal if they are worn on one hand. Choose the most compatible models in color and materials. In addition, you should not mix silver and gold accessories in one look. Believe me, you definitely won’t be able to create a distinctly stylish and sophisticated look. But we strive for the opposite, right?
Combine men's bracelets with each other in color and shape
Modern stylists allow wearing a watch on one hand with bracelets. But sometimes such an ensemble can look too sloppy, and individual accessories will get lost in the general mass of their own kind. There is only one way out - to include your own sense of proportion. And then you can safely select several bracelets to match the tone of the case and strap of your watch. Go for it! The result is always unpredictable, but in the end you can get very interesting combinations.
Watches are the basis
For beginning fans of men's style, I recommend that you first of all pay attention to classic models of wristwatches. They are universal! These are models with a laconic design and an analog dial. They are ideal for business, casual wardrobe. To prevent your watch from looking too pretentious and falling out of the overall mood of your look, opt for models with a steel-colored case. It can be made of stainless metals or silver-plated. Choose steel bracelets, leather or discreet textile straps according to your taste.
The Skagen Ancher SKW6104 watch is perfect for a formal, business or casual look.
Start with one watch model. And let it be a classic. And then gradually buy more options for sports, youth parties, and formal occasions. All in your hands! We have already written on the blog about the choice of models for active sports and recreation. A formal dress suit can easily be decorated with discreet wrist or pocket models.
Today, manufacturers offer a wide variety of watch designs. To avoid getting lost in this diversity, use this short hint:
- For Black and White tie dress codes, opt for a classic wristwatch;
- Business Formal is most friendly to models in a classic style, laconic “pilots” and discreet solutions for divers;
- Business Casual and Casual outfits fully allow for the presence of any wristwatch of your choice. Including for divers, chronometers, pilots. This includes the classic Panerai models worn by movie characters Stallone and Schwarzenegger, or the Omega watches of the legendary agent 007.
- Sports-style clothing sets do not combine with classic models. Here, smart watches and solutions specially designed for divers, climbers, and fitness classes look most natural.
- In winter, spring and autumn, it is optimal to wear a watch with a bracelet in black and gray colors; in summer, stick to white. The exception is sports-style models.

Cufflinks - men's jewelry for a sophisticated look
Metal models of simple design are traditional in formal looks. These can be cufflinks made of precious metals, decorated with mother-of-pearl, crystals or diamonds. If you want to wear this men's jewelry to the office, then choose options with more creative, but still discreet designs. I recommend that young people under 18-30 years old pay attention to unusual models. For example, from silk or other textiles. It’s easy to find incredibly interesting solutions here that will allow you to stand out and attract attention.

Tie clip - complete elegance
The presence of a tie in an outfit also implies the presence of a clip for it. Of course, this is not necessary. But! Like all accessories, a clip makes a valuable contribution to creating a memorable image and individual style of a person. Thanks to the accent details, the man and his appearance are remembered with admiration even many years later.
A tie clip will emphasize a man's serious attitude to his style
Traditionally, metal tie clips are used. Most often it is steel. But noble gold, platinum and silver are also not deprived of attention. When choosing an accessory, consider the materials of other jewelry present in the image. They should have the same color.
