Women wearing rings on pinky fingers: What does it mean?

Speaking to Mental Scoops, Godfred said: “I chose to create the ring for my pinky because it is a finger I’ve never worn a ring on before. It is as overlooked as women can be in their own lives.

“It felt very powerful to me to take a traditional symbol of commitment to someone else (big bold engagement rings) and say, ‘This time, I’m choosing myself.’ I still wear my engagement ring proudly, and these two rings are not mutually exclusive. Because loving yourself, makes you better able to love someone else.”

The ring in question features an inverted triangular stone supposed to represent the power of “divine feminine”. If you ask us, regardless of the cost of a ring, or what material it’s crafted from, appreciating your own worth and wearing something as a symbol of your own integrity can only be a good thing.

History of pinky rings

And it turns out that the idea of women wearing pinky rings actually has a history that goes back quite a long way. Reportedly, women in the Victorian age could often be seen wearing rings on their left pinky fingers to show that they were single but not interesting in pursuing marriage.

In more recent times, women have taken to wearing pinky rings to denote that they love and care for themselves. So the next time you see a woman in public who has opted to accessorize themselves in such a way, you’ll be more clued in as to the potential reason why!
