    No. I wear rings, but none on my middle finger (yet).

    I have my college class ring (and it doesn't look like a traditional class ring, so it blends in with rest of my jewlery) on my ring finger, right hand, and another ring on my pinky on left hand.

    I want to definitely get more rings, particularly one for one of my middle fingers, but I haven't found any I've liked, nor any that have fit that finger.

    Well, typically, a black (usually hematite) ring on the middle finger of the right hand indicates asexuality.

    I have a stainless steel black ring that I wear on my middle finger of my right hand, but I use it to convey my utter contempt for all sexuality and sex acts. I don't always wear it, but when I do, I'm in a mood.

    I did not know that had any meaning behind it.

    Didn't know what it meant either.

    I don't wear any rings on my fingers, not even my wedding ring. I've seen people lose fingers because of rings and worked with a guy who melted his gold wedding ring to his finger when the ring grounded out a 220 volt wire.

    Yeah, that's what it means, it's very popular in the asexual circle.

    As for me, I use it to convey my opportunistic celibacy, which is different than why most people wear the ring. In my case it's the sixth of the eight pillars of euphoria I have chosen to live by.

    I didn’t know it represented asexuality.

    But I wear a slender ring made out of gunmetal.

    Well, typically workers like that should be told to remove their rings and tie their hair back (if it's long enough) before they start working with dangerous equipment because, and this is especially true of woodworking, rings can obfuscate whatever it is you're doing that requires precision and become a safety hazard for your hands. But new laws in California have made it illegal for employers to request people remove any jewelry or watches or even tie their hair back before starting to work with heavy machinery because it's viewed as some sort of repression of expression or cultural heritage or something. At least that's what my Dad told me, I don't know how true it is.

    I had the same question and now I have an answer but still don't know why I am seeing a lot more bands that are darker in color, like charcoal, gunmetal, and almost black that are all still metallic looking. They are worn on the ring finger of the left hand. I don't know if it's a style or something that is more affordable. I do not see as many gold bands as I used to see when I see rings on the ring finger of the left hand. Can someone help me out with this?
