Jewelry is a powerful form of self-expression — and rings, especially, can tell a story depending on where you wear them. Whether you choose a delicate band or a bold statement piece, the finger you choose can add an extra layer of meaning to your look.

Thumb

Willpower • Freedom

The thumb stands apart — and so does its symbolism. A thumb ring is often linked to independence, inner strength, and freedom of thought. If you’re someone who follows your own path, this placement can feel like a confident signature.
