Every Ring Has A Message: When you are wearing rings, it is important to know that placement is everything. Putting a ring on different fingers can symbolize different meanings.

Ring Proportion: The next rule that you need to abide by is the size of your hand. If you have a smaller hand, you won’t want to wear rings that are much larger, it will look uneven.

You wouldn’t wear a fancy watch and three rings on one hand and leave your other hand blank. Instead, you would leave one or two rings on one hand and place the other ring on the opposing hand. If you overdo it, it could destroy the whole look.
