The lucky ring: a stylish asset in tradition
In many cultures around the world, wearing a lucky ring on your finger is not an uncommon thing. Whether seeking luck, protection, or simply getting out of a series of unfortunate events, a ring can be a wise choice.
One point, however, must already be raised: a lucky ring will not have the same effect depending on the finger that wears it.
On the thumb, it will influence health and longevity (especially if worn on the right hand).
On the index finger, your jewelry will most often aim to strengthen your authority, or even your social status. Some therefore use this finger to establish their authority or even their influence over others.
A ring worn on the middle finger is synonymous with personal balance and stability. This is one way to wear your ideal ring in a process of spiritual research.
The directory is the right reserved for love and therefore for your (future) other half.
Finally, the little finger is associated with wealth and financial success. Far from the clichés, this way of wearing your lucky rings will not make you greedy but simply someone more ambitious.
Additionally, each of these rules will be slightly modified if the ring is worn by a man or a woman.
In addition to its effects as a lucky charm, your jewelry must also be fashionable. Indeed, we are talking here about an accessory to wear every day which should match your style and your personality.
This is also one of the reasons why we often advise our community to combine the magic of rings with that of pendants or amulets.
Now that you know this, you have all the cards in hand to best wear each of these lucky rings and maximize their effects !
Lucky rings: legends that are not new
Magical rings and rings have always been used for their powers, their stories and everything that revolves around these mysterious jewels.
Sages and practitioners of secret cults have passed them down step by step throughout the generations. Some of the lucky rings that we present to you here are very clearly the result of this type of immemorial transmission.
With a huge number of different rings and effects as varied as they are amazing, talking about each of them is impossible. We will therefore limit ourselves here to presenting to you some of the most famous mysterious rings in the history of humanity.
The wise Plato, in the second book of “The Republic”, tells us the story of the Ring of Gyges, a powerful ring which conferred invisibility on its wearer. His engraving in particular was precious, and brought mental purity.
J G. Frazer, a very famous magician who dabbled in the occult arts, wrote in "The Golden Bough" that the jewels we wear on our fingers could, basically, have had the role of preventing the soul from leave our body and even certain demons to enter it.
The magic ring of King Solomon (a king from the Bible) is presented to us as a real lucky ring. Basically, it allowed him to control demons and spirits, preventing them from harming his people. King Solomon's ring is undoubtedly one of the most famous rings in history.
The place of magic rings in art and culture
Like everything related to mysteries, secrets and the unexplained, lucky rings have carved out a special place for themselves in popular culture. Made of fine stones, gold or diamonds, certain models are truly emblematic.
One ring that comes straight to mind for all of us is the One Ring from Lord of the Rings. Symbol of the power of evil (of Sauron therefore) and of the influence that this force can have on the souls and hearts of men, the One Ring is more than a jewel: it is a true allegory, a element of the film in its own right which is there to send us messages.
Through the ring a kind of evil energy is transmitted that is quite difficult to define, something that humanity probably cannot understand but which it must all the same fight and destroy...
Another iconic pop culture saga, Harry Potter also sees very strange rings in his films and novels. One big ring opened a sealed door, while another was there only for the refinement... of magic.
At one point in particular, Harry Potter discovers that the only way to permanently stop Voldemort is to destroy all the horcruxes, magical jewels into which wizards can place part of their soul, thus ensuring that they can be reborn after being defeated..
Voldemort therefore has some... but also Dumbledore, who places one of these stones in a sort of lucky ring with very powerful powers.
The last fantastic universe we are going to talk about, Narnia is tinged with magic and the supernatural. It is therefore not surprising that particular relics and artifacts were able to see the light of day there.
However, it turns out that no humans can practice magic in Narnia. However, there are two objects that deviate from this rule, two lucky rings with special effects: the green and yellow rings that the children find at the beginning of the film, and which allow them to travel between worlds.
Different symbols for different lucky rings
A lucky ring can therefore be something from myths, legends, books and even films. Either.
But do you know that there are also many lucky rings, very concrete ones, those that we can touch and feel between our fingers?
This type of costume jewelry is undoubtedly more timeless (because less linked to pop culture) and will therefore surely make better gift ideas.
It is precisely these rings that we will now talk about.
The Claddagh ring, a lovers' jewel
The Claddagh ring, this is clearly seen by its shape, closely linked to love, friendship and fidelity. The heart is associated with love, the two united hands represent friendship and the crown shows us the most beautiful quality that can unite two people: loyalty.
In Irish traditions, the Claddagh ring is passed down from the mother to her eldest daughter and is thus kept in the family for as long as possible. Sometimes it can also be used as an engagement ring. It thus allows a man to show all his love for his partner.
Coming from a small fishing village located not far from the city of Galway, many legends surround this lucky ring. Some speak of witches, others of a jeweler in exile further south… In short, the Claddagh ring is truly a special piece of jewelry!
Fight the evil eye with certain accessories
In our increasingly modern society, however, this type of custom is gradually disappearing (and that is very unfortunate). There is one, however, that continues to persist: the belief in the evil eye.
Many cultures believe that receiving a bad look thrown in our direction can cause bad luck, great misfortune, and even injury. We might as well tell you that it is better to try to protect yourself from the evil eye.
Fortunately, certain lucky jewelry exists for this purpose. There is one in particular that is recognized as very effective: the Nazar Boncuk ring.
Wearing this type of ring on your finger will indeed be the assurance of repelling curses and negativity, ensuring you a sweet and serene life. Faith as a jeweler, the most powerful crystals will not protect you better than the Nazar Boncuk!
Whether we believe in this kind of story or not, having this kind of jewelry on you, in addition to bringing a certain style, will only deter certain entities from attacking you, that's clear.
The Tree of Life, one of the oldest lucky rings
The Tree of Life basically represents the interconnectedness of everything in the universe.
From the top of its tallest leaves to its deepest roots, everything is in fact run through by the same sap and, we dare say, made of the same wood.
This lucky symbol represents the unity of creation, and therefore that you are never alone. Ah yes, wearing a tree of life ring will indeed remind you that you are connected to the rest of the world no matter what.
A very ancient symbol, many cultures have worshiped the Tree of Life in one way or another for a very long time. We indeed find allusions to such trees in almost all sacred texts, and in all oral traditions.
The lucky rings that pay homage to him can thus be worn on the fingers of all hands. All in all, these are costume jewelry of choice!
The Hamsa, a hand to wear on your fingers
The Hamsa, also known as the “Hand of Fatma” is a very famous lucky charm in Muslim countries, and in particular in the Middle East and the Maghreb.
Despite its widespread use in this religion, others also recognize certain powers. Jews and Christians call it “Hand of Myriam” and sometimes wear it as a protective jewel.
When used to make rings, the Hamsa offers foolproof protection, blessing its wearer with all its benefits and bringing them a certain serenity. These women's jewelry are also often richly decorated, with precious stones such as onyx, turquoise or amethyst used.
If you in turn want to benefit from this type of benefit, look at this collection of jewelry from the Hand of Fatma.
In short, with benefits as numerous as luck, happiness or health, there are as many reasons to wear a ring from Fatma's hand as there are fingers on one hand!
