The ring in the shape of a crown is a rather unusual fashionable “trick”. 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 complement their collections with them.
The crown as a symbol of power
The tradition of wearing the crown as a symbol of the representative of power (whatever - secular or religious) has been known, probably, since the beginning of history. To emphasize the monarch’s wealth and noble origin, crowns were made of precious metals and decorated with precious stones. For all centuries, what crowns did not come up with the imagination of jewelers!
The custom of constantly wearing the crown is a thing of the past - now monarchs wear hats only in exceptional cases - during ceremonies. And the symbolism itself is firmly entrenched in cultural life: now the detail in the form of a crown is, rather, an original design element and an interesting jewelery find.
Symbolism of the ring
In ancient times, the ring was also not just a decorative ornament. Firstly, 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 noble origin of the owner - often it was even inherited. And of course, there 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 about which finger is best to wear a ring:
- On the thumb rings are very strong-willed and domineering people. 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 in yourself the ability to lead and other leadership qualities, start wearing a ring on your index finger. The "pointing finger" personifies striving forward and focus on results.
- The ring on the middle finger is designed to restore balance between all spheres of human life. Apparently, that's why many people intuitively choose this particular finger to wear the ring.
- The symbolism of the ring on the ring finger is the same practically throughout the world - even if you are not engaged or married, but want to restore your connection with your own heart and emotions, start wearing the ring on this finger.
- The little finger is responsible for interacting with the world and relationships with others. If you want harmony in this area - get a little ring for your little finger.
Nowadays, rings are more part of the style, so they can be anything and made of any material. A crown-shaped ring is such an innocent way to remind yourself that inside you are a real queen.
Claddagh ring
The so-called Claddagh ring can be considered the ancestor of the ring in the form of a crown. In the photo below you can see how it looks - a pair of hands that hold a heart in a crown. Such a ring was invented in Ireland, and it is called after the village where it was first made - Kladdakh. He is presented as an engagement, and simply presented as a sign of friendship. The elements of the ring are symbolic: the heart means love and sincere feelings, the hands mean friendship and trust, and the crown means fidelity. They also love to wear this ring as a sign of their affiliation with the Irish and Celtic culture. There is even a museum of the rings of Kladda.
Crown around the finger
On the Claddagh ring, the crown was only one of the details. Subsequently, rings appeared that repeated the shape of the royal crowns completely - with teeth and stone inserts. It can be either a thin ring with a protrusion only on the upper, visible part of the finger, or a thick golden crown ring with teeth along the entire perimeter. The product itself can either be made exclusively of metal, or be decorated with stones - often pebbles crown the pebbles. Sometimes not one metal is used for manufacturing, but several, or enamel is used to give color.
A crown ring does not have to be expensive. Good jewelry will also look profitable, especially in youth looks. You can always turn to silver products - it fits well with any style of clothing.
There are no specific rules regarding how to wear a crown ring. Some believe that it will be correct to put the ring with teeth to the nail - then it looks more natural. But in reality it all depends on the shape of the ring - some crown rings look good with both teeth up and teeth down. If you are worried about whether the prongs will cling to the clothes, then just try not to wear this jewelry with things that can cause clues. In general, you can never predict in advance how the ring will behave - some completely harmless smooth jewelry can also cling to tights at the wrong time and leave the arrow.
Paired Crown Rings
A separate trend - wedding rings, made in the form of crowns of the king and queen - for you and your chosen one. The male crown is always a little more solid and more representative, and the female one is more elegant.
In the photo above, the male 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 need to sparkle with crystal-light diamonds to tell the world about your good taste. On the contrary, the black color in the choice of jewelry will tell about you much more.
Crown Ring Sets
Increasingly, fashion houses produce jewelry sets, including rings. Decorations on several fingers immediately cause controversial opinions - some consider this an excess, others just wear it. Modern girls even wear several rings on the same finger - jewelry for the phalanges have not gone out of fashion for several seasons. Sometimes the main ring and the phalanx ring have a jumper in the form of a chain. It is not visible in the photo below, but you can appreciate how original two simple crowns worn on the same finger look original.
For some time it was believed that wearing many rings at once was a sign of bad taste. And then boho style came into fashion. And Instagram was flooded with photos of disheveled beauties on the seashore - in gypsy skirts, bright loose dresses and with an abundance of massive jewelry. One of the trends of the boho style is to wear many rings of elegant shape at once, combining with neat manicure and mehendi (henna drawings on the hands). 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 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 teeth down and looks extremely attractive at the same time. On the same finger is also worn a ring on the phalanx, also made in the form of a crown. If you have an innate sense of style, then don't be afraid to break the rules.
Transformer rings
Apart are the transformer rings in the form of crowns. Thanks to the teeth, such rings can be easily connected to each other and worn as a whole. Another wearing option is to disassemble and wear next to each other so that the jewelry forms a single ensemble.
An interesting option would be to pass a chain through a ring-crown and wear it around the neck as a pendant - this image is suitable for young people.
Nail rings
Let the shocking rings on your nails do not seem to you the invention of modern designers. In fact, such a fashion still existed among the nobility of ancient China. Similar jewelry was also found in the tomb of Tutankhamun. They always look pretty pretentious - you won’t get that in the office. But if you need to create an extravagant look, then a catchy ring-nail is suitable as an additional touch. It is better not to wear such rings as everyday jewelry if you prefer a casual style. Another thing is if in your image there is always a share of outrageousness.
Often, nail rings are complemented with Swarovski crystals and elements in the form of crowns. When choosing such an ornament, try to calm the inner magpie and do not chase the shining of the pebbles. Also, do not wear several such nails at once - 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 pursuit of fashion, you always need to know the measure. It is worth recalling that massive rings are not for everyone. A golden ring in the shape of a crown, especially inlaid with a scattering of stones, can become a frank tastelessness if it does not combine with the rest of your image or looks frankly pompous, as if you had just robbed a museum. Also, do not wear several massive crown rings at once - this will also give out your craving for trinkets. The same applies to other accessories - bracelets or pendants. The larger the jewelry, the more self-sufficient it is, and the more simple the cut your dress can be. A great option is to put on a little black dress, and underneath is an elegant crown ring.
