They may not say anything, but they pick up subtle cues based on the rings you wear.
When it comes to the question of how men should wear rings, readers often ask me why I wear my wedding band on my right hand and not the left, as is the custom in North America. They occupy a prominent place on the hands. The size of a precious stone and the clarity of the gem would indicate superior quality and therefore, a person of substantial wealth. Rings used to function as a signifier of wealth and power.
Whether you served in the navy or in the marine corps, a ring easily identifies your association. The rings you wear send subliminal or direct messages.
