Sterling Silver Thumb Rings
Sterling silver thumb rings have ruled the jewelry market when it comes to thumb rings. Although there are other kinds of thumb rings available in the market, they are no match in front of the demand and increasing popularity of the sterling silver thumb rings. Personally, even I think that silver thumb rings look great when it comes to styling and trendsetting. Another amazing feature of silver thumb rings is that they come in endless designs! You can also order a thumb ring as per your choice of design and get that made. But I think you can let go of that option as you get all the possible designs that you can think of when it comes to these thumb rings. Let us know more about them.
Sterling Silver Thumb Rings for Women
Women are the pioneers when it comes to adapting or setting a fashion trend. If you knew the ancient thumb ring significance, you would know that in olden times, women didn't wear thumb rings and they were worn by men only for their status symbol. But now the times have changed and there is no discrimination. On the contrary, we find sterling silver thumb rings more popular in women than men.
Designs and Patterns
There are endless designs and patterns available in the market. There are beautiful silver wide bands with Celtic ring designs and spiral knots. You even have designs with patterns like braids, twist, woven, smooth, yin-yang, Claddagh ring style, filigree, pentacle, coexist etc. There are very interesting patterns like animal designs like spider, butterflies, snakes, cats, lizards, etc. Then you also get those typical feminine designs like hearts, dolphin, mermaids, women figures, moon, stars, flowers, clover and butterflies in different patterns and designs including religious ones. If you have enough money to spend, you can also incorporate certain gemstones into the design of the thumb ring. Trust me, any gemstone looks great on silver, that is one of the reasons why sterling silver rings are so popular.
Price
The price of these rings depends upon the size of silver jewelry and the price of gemstones used, if any. A wide band silver thumb ring with gemstones will definitely cost more than a lesser width thumb ring with simple design. However, there are many websites that deal with these amazing jewelry pieces starting from less than $10.
Sterling Silver Thumb Rings for Men
As mentioned earlier, the ancient thumb ring significance was more for men than for women. In fact, men wore thumb rings representing their status in the society and their profession. The higher the status, the more heavy would be the thumb ring.
Designs and Patterns
Sterling silver thumb rings for men have comparatively less designs and patterns as compared to women. One of the reasons for the same would be less demand of thumb rings among men as compared to women. Although the variety is less, but the designs are interesting. Silver thumb ring designs for men include the Celtic designs where men mostly go in for the Celtic symbols for strength. Apart from that, there are signs of peace, coexist, scorpions, spiders, wolves, lions, dragons, spears, skulls, snakes, zodiac symbols, sun, the Claddagh ring style, Gothic designs, religious designs, tribal patterns and many more. Most men look for a plain yet classy design. Wide band sterling silver thumb rinds with a zodiac gemstone in the middle looks very classy and elegant, especially with a black onyx.
Price
The price range is almost the same as that for women. Again, as I mentioned earlier, it depends upon the jewelry design and the gemstone incorporated in the ring. While women may opt for a thumb ring which is not much thick and wide, men would mostly go for a thicker thumb ring. Considering this fact, there could be a slight increase in the price range starting from $15-$20. You can check different websites and jewelry stores to see if you can manage to find a better deal.
Thumb rings have a lot of significance and can tell a lot about the person who is wearing it! If you believe in palmistry, it is said that wearing a thumb ring depicts a sense of independence and freedom. This is so because the thumb base is considered to be the place of Venus which represents sexuality and vitality. However, if you don't want to get into religious beliefs, just wear them if you want to... after all, life is all about following what your heart wants!
