Men today are more conscientious about what they wear and what they look like when they go out. It doesn’t matter whether it is to the office, a night on the town or spending a day out. They want to look their best and at times, wear the best. Jewelry is becoming a big part of that and more men are wearing men rings today.
There has always been a debate with men and rings, especially the wedding ring. You can find arguments on all sides on why men should or shouldn’t, or don’t have to worry about wearing their wedding band. Maybe it’s because of work, or they don’t like it, but that isn’t what the new fashion is about. Men wearing rings have been around since Billy the Kid and his famous pinky ring that they called a gamblers ring. [I:http://nativehawaiianrights.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IgorPauer14.jpg]
Asking men about rings and if they wear them, you’ll find a multitude of answers. Everything ranging from “only women wear jewelry” to “men should only wear watches” and the ever popular “real men don’t wear rings”. Which makes one wonder just who all these fake men are that we see daily on their way to the office, in magazines, and playing football with a fashionable ring, somewhere on their hand?
The majority of men that wear rings are your average everyday Joe, just wanting to look good. They choose something subtle, a clean and simple design. Not every man is a rapper or hip hopper, so the flashy rings and large chunks of gold are reserved for a special type of man.
Pinky rings are quite common, even with men. This is a fashion statement and carries no real significance behind it, unless the wearer chooses one. It can be associated to the gangsters and mafia thanks to The Godfather. And, for gamblers and card players, thanks to Billy the Kid. But ordinarily, it is just a piece of jewelry that looks good.

Thumb rings may seem like something new, but in fact they have been around for centuries. Reports from the early 1900s include articles in reference to Egyptians and their use of wearing them on both thumbs. This ring does carry significance to some who wear it. The most common is “self”, but love, independence, sexuality, and the fact that it looks good are other reasons you’ll find men and women alike wearing these rings.
Men rings are nothing new, as history shows, but the attitudes today are. Men feel confident and comfortable dressing nicely, looking good, and wearing simple pieces of jewelry. There will always be those that say real men shouldn’t do this or that, but that won’t stop rings from being created and worn by other men out there living and enjoying their lives, and looking good while they are at it.
