People can wear whatever they like and make it mean whatever they want it to, but still, there are some guidelines from trend-setting areas of the world, and well-established jewellery and ornamentation tradition that folks adopting the black ring may want to be aware and conscious of.
The black stone is a symbol of self-control and resilience. A black stone can also be referred to as an Onyx. Onyx is a chalcedony that is used in jewellery. It has so many effects attached to it that reassures people that wear rings with the black stone.
What colour and materials you choose, as well as which finger you wear your ring on, tells what attribute in yourself you are attempting to amplify or draw people’s attention to.
There have been so many beliefs and traditions that were attached to the wearing of black rings or rings with black stones. Some see it as a sign of mourning, while some believed it can be worn for protection. But recently, a black ring on the right middle finger may mean that the individual is asexual or an extreme celibate, or at least it may also mean that the individual is not open to sexual approaches from any gender at the moment. As the middle finger is the diddle finger for most people, wearing a ring on it could mean they are not using it and are free to ornament that part of themselves, or they are so in love with their middle finger that they are monogamous to it.
A black ring on the thumb of a woman may indicate that she is a super lesbian, meaning that she has absolutely no interest whatsoever in males, and she is not ready to mingle or have a relationship with the male gender. At some club scenes, it has been observed that the ring with the black stone placed on the thumb indicates that someone is into orgies, parties, and plays.
A ring with a black stone on any other finger on the right hand could indicate that someone is a swinger and they are involved in more than one sexual relationship at a time. A black ring with a real ruby, especially a star ruby is likely worn by a spiritual polyandrous person who is aware of ruby’s filtering properties. These set of people want to signal their ability to love flexibly, but to actively repel people with bad and exploitative intentions.
Any reddish stone on a black ring passes a message across that the bearer of the ring is mystical because even red glass has mystical properties that basically means if you cross the bearer of such ring or mess with them the wrong way, you would be dealt with. Even a carnelian (a hard red chalcedony used in jewellery) agate on a black ring means that the person knows how to curse you in a way that you can never get rid of the curse, as it would become a part of you especially if that curse is carved on the stone of the ring and they wore it the day you first had sex. If you ever hurt such people, you will probably die or come to wish you had.
Like most other rings, the finger the black stone ring is worn on is what majorly determines the interpretation it is given in a society and/or you could decide to give it whatever meaning you choose to.
