A crown-shaped ring is a rather unusual fashion “chip”. This is a stylish decoration that is chosen by pretentious girls with the habits of real queens and princesses. And not only girls! Jewelers create similar crown rings for men too, and fashion designers complete their collections with them.
The crown as a symbol of power
The tradition of wearing a crown as a symbol of a representative of power (whether secular or religious) has been known, probably, since the beginning of history. To emphasize the we alth and noble origin of the monarch, the crowns were made of precious metals and decorated with precious stones. For all the centuries, no matter how many crowns the fantasy of jewelers has come up with!
The custom of constantly wearing the crown is a thing of the past - now monarchs wear headdresses only in exceptional cases - during solemn ceremonies. And the symbolism itself has firmly entered the cultural life: now the detail in the form of a crown is rather an original design element and an interesting jewelry find.
Symbolism of the ring
In ancient times, the ring was also not just a decorative ornament. In-First, it carried the function of a talisman - it was believed that a vicious circle should protect a person from evil forces. Secondly, an expensive ring could also be considered a sign of the owner's noble origin - often it was even inherited. And of course, it has long been a tradition to exchange rings during marriage, and in some countries also give the bride a ring during the engagement. It is customary for us to wear a ring as a symbol of marriage on the ring finger of the right hand. However, men most often do not wear wedding rings at all.
There are several signs and beliefs regarding which finger is best to wear a ring on:
- Very strong-willed and powerful people wear rings on their thumbs. If you want to develop these qualities in yourself, you can try wearing a ring on your thumb, although this is unusual for our culture.
- If you want to develop the ability to lead and other leadership qualities, start wearing a ring on your index finger. "Pointing finger" personifies the desire to move forward and focus on results.
- The ring on the middle finger is designed to restore balance between all areas of human life. Apparently, therefore, many people intuitively choose this particular finger to wear the ring.
- The symbolism of the ring on the ring finger is the same almost everywhere in the world - even if you are not engaged and not married, but want to reconnect with your own heart and emotions, start wearing a ring on this finger.
- The little finger is responsible for interaction with the world and relationships with others. Do you want harmony inthis area - purchase a small pinky ring.
Rings are more of a style nowadays, so they can be anything and made from any material. The crown ring is such an innocent way to remind yourself that you are the real queen inside.
The Claddagh Ring
The so-called Claddagh ring can be considered the progenitor of the ring in the form of a crown. In the photo below you can see what it looks like - a pair of hands holding a heart in a crown. Such a ring was invented in Ireland, and it is called the name of the village where it was first made - Claddagh. It is presented as an engagement, and simply given as a sign of friendship. The elements of the ring have a symbolic meaning: the heart means love and sincere feelings, the hands - friendship and trust, and the crown - fidelity. This ring is also worn as a sign of belonging to the Irish and Celtic culture. There is even a museum of the Claddagh rings.
Crown around the finger
On the Claddagh ring, the crown was just one of the details. Subsequently, rings appeared that completely repeated the shape of royal crowns - with teeth and inserts of stones. It can be either a thin ring with a protrusion only on the upper, visible part of the finger, or a thick gold crown ring with teeth around the entire perimeter. The product itself can either be made exclusively of metal or be decorated with stones - often pebbles crown the teeth. Sometimes not one metal is used for manufacturing, but several, oruse enamel to give color.
A crown ring doesn't have to be expensive. Good jewelry will also look profitable, especially in youth looks. You can always turn to silver jewelry - it fits well with any style of clothing.
There are no specific rules on how to wear a crown ring. Some people think that it will be right to put on the ring with teeth to the nail - then it looks more natural. But in fact, it all depends on the shape of the ring - some crown rings look good with both prongs up and prongs down. If you're worried about the prongs catching on your clothes, then just try not to wear this piece of jewelry with things that might get snags. In general, you can never predict in advance how the ring will behave - some completely harmless smooth jewelry can also catch on pantyhose at the wrong time and leave an arrow.
Paired crown rings
A separate trend - wedding rings made in the form of king and queen crowns - for you and your chosen one. The men's crown is always a little more solid and representative, and the women's is more elegant.
In the photo above, the men's ring is made in the form of a traditional crown with teeth. But the female model, rather, resembles a sparkling diadem, inlaid with small stones. Pay attention to how black metal and black stones look good - jewelry does not have to sparklecrystal clear diamonds to show the world your good taste. On the contrary, the color black in your choice of jewelry will say much more about you.
Crown Ring Sets
Increasingly, fashion houses produce jewelry sets, including rings. Jewelry on several fingers immediately causes controversial opinions - some consider it an excess, others just wear it. Modern girls even wear several rings on the same finger - phalanx jewelry has not gone out of fashion for several seasons. Sometimes the main ring and the ring for the phalanx have a jumper between them in the form of a chain. It is not visible in the photo below, but you can appreciate how original two simple crowns look, worn on the same finger.
Until some time it was believed that wearing many rings at once is a sign of bad taste. And then the boho style came into fashion. And Instagram was filled with photos of disheveled beauties on the seashore - in gypsy skirts, bright loose dresses and with an abundance of massive jewelry. One of the boho-style trends is to wear many rings of elegant shape at once, combining with a neat manicure and mehendi (henna drawings on the hands). A beautiful manicure is a prerequisite for wearing many rings at once. Even without this, he should be such that the girl would not be ashamed of him. Well, if you already focus on the hands, then the nails should be just perfect!
The crown ring in the photo above, contrary to the rule of wearing it with teeth up, is worn with teethdown and it looks extremely attractive. On the same finger, a phalanx ring is also worn, also made in the form of a crown. If you have an innate sense of style, don't be afraid to break the rules.
Transformer rings
Transformer rings in the form of crowns stand apart. Thanks to the teeth, such rings can be easily connected to each other and worn as a whole. Another way to wear it is to take it apart and wear it next to each other so that the jewelry forms a single ensemble.
An interesting option would be to thread a chain through the crown ring and wear it around the neck as a pendant - this look is suitable for young people.
Ring nails
Let outrageous nail rings do not seem to you an invention of modern designers. In fact, such a fashion existed among the nobility of ancient China. Similar decorations were also found in Tutankhamun's tomb. They always look rather pretentious - you can’t wear this to the office. But if you need to create an extravagant look, then a catchy nail ring is suitable as an additional touch. It is better not to wear such rings as everyday jewelry if you prefer casual style. Another thing is if there is always a share of outrageousness in your image.
Often, nail rings are complemented with Swarovski crystals and elements in the form of crowns. When choosing such a decoration, nevertheless, try to calm the inner magpie and do not chase after the radiance of pebbles. Also, do not wear several of these.nails immediately - limit yourself to one or two. All the same, the attention of others will be riveted to your palms and fingers thanks to this trinket.
How not to overdo it
In the pursuit of fashion, you always need to know the measure. It is worth recalling that massive rings are not for everyone. A gold crown ring, especially one set with loose stones, can be downright gaudy if it doesn't go well with the rest of your outfit or looks downright pompous, like you just robbed a museum. Also, do not wear several massive crown rings at once - this will also betray your craving for trinkets. The same applies to other accessories - bracelets or pendants. The larger the decoration, the more self-sufficient it is, and the more simple your dress can be. A great option is to wear a little black dress, and under it - an elegant crown ring.
