As far as men's style accessories, rings are one of my all-time favorites. Not only are they attractive accessories, but they help draw attention to your hands, a man's most attractive body part, according to women. Rings are also an incredible way to express your individual style. With that, I will go over some ring-wearing tips to follow.
The inspiration for the video comes from my new wedding band. I saw a wedding band on this dude and asked him where he got it. He got it from a company called Thorum, and the ring was actually meteorite. I became obsessed after scrolling Thorum's website. I ordered four rings because I couldn't choose.
Guide to rocking men's rings
Make sure your nails and cuticles are not nasty and messed up. Also, dab Vaseline on your nails and cuticles to soften and condition them. Your nails will also get a bit of shine.
Know what material you're buying. In the past, the material was pretty simple, with a choice of silver or gold. But now, the selection is unlimited such as silicone, dinosaur bone, whiskey barrel, gun rifle stock, tungsten, Damascus steel, and more. It boils down the personal preference, as there is no right or wrong. Find a material that resonates with you.
Mixing metals is okay. In the old days, mixing metals was a bigger deal. Now, watches and rings may combine different metals. Not only is mixing metals totally appropriate, but it's a great way to add another layer of depth and dimension to your accessory game.
Ring size should correspond with the size of your finger. You can find rings ranging from big, bold, and bulky to more subtle and minimal. If you have small, thin fingers, you want to avoid wearing big, bulky rings. Your hands and fingers will look smaller and more dainty, so you want to go with something more subtle and refined. You can never go wrong with an 8 mm ring; it's masculine but not over-the-top huge. This size will work for any finger. If you have bigger hands, go a bit thicker and more prominent, like a signet ring, class ring, or cigar band ring. Visit a local jewelry store to get sized for free.
Balance the number of rings you wear per hand. You can never go wrong with a single ring on both hands. If you want to rock a second ring on a hand, you are always welcome; however, any more than that, you're getting outside of the box. Some guys wearing multiple rings, such as five rings for a hand, can look like a big badass or a humongous dumbass.
Symbolic representation of what each finger means has changed over the years. Pinky rings were incredibly common, and stacking rings is common in some cultures. If you're not married, the number one finger to wear a ring is your right ring finger. Thumbs are tricky, and I'm not a fan of thumb rings. They look a bit trashy and douchey (but so are earrings on a 46-year-old dude).
The price of your ring depends on your budget. Buying higher-quality rings is an investment. My first expensive ring was $350, and I wore it so much that it split. I got it at the Los Angeles airport in 2003 after I got kicked off the TV show Fear Factor. It was the most expensive thing I had ever purchased for myself, and I knew it was a lifetime opportunity with an incredible story. I wore it until it snapped, and I thought about getting it fixed, but I realized it served its purpose. It has a great story, and it's now retired. That's when I got my signet 'M' Ring, made by melting down metal from my grandparents.

Thank you always wanted a rings video
Hey alpha, what is your code on college rings? Some schools have prestige or hold certain value even after you graduate?
ya 2 rings per hand is probably the max limit for the average person , unless your a biker or something , I think 2 rings per hand is more than enough , 4 in total
How would you wear a slightly bulky ring?
Why is this man shouting at me
Turn down the volume this video was meant to upgrade your looks don’t be an a**hole
Lol 😂
Exactly.. What is the need to speak so fast as well ??
I think it might be a size thing. I don’t know how tall he is, but short guys usually shout to be heard while bigger guys usually talk slow in order for others to listen to them.
1. Make sure you groom and trim your nails correctly
2/3 : chose a material that sits right with you.
4. Make sure the width of the ring compliments the size of your finger
5/6/7 . Wear as many rings that you think is right but don't overdo it. Wear it on the right finger. You could try expirementing with putting rings over another.
8. Get better quality rings
Thank you for the summary, much needed!
how loose should a ring be?
I'm 44 and I still wear an earing in my left ear that I got pierced when I was 12. There is nothing trashy about it.
I have always loved how rings look but it took me so long to use them. I use them on my rock music videos but now I started using them when out into the world along with other accessories and it is great. I enjoyed your stories you shared, I admire the risks you have taken in your life Aaron
I wear a ring on every finger everyday they tend to look gothic or Nordic but I'm also really into heavy metal so people say it fits my style
Rings with a good fitted suit is my favorite look
I want to get a wedding band. But I need a wife first lol. But I’m excited for that day. Thank you AlphaM for putting me on the right path.
I'm into the punk/metal scene so I wear 3 rings for each hand; a few skull ones, a claw/talon looking one, etc. As long you're confident in what you wanna rock, fricken rock it my dudes! I will say, however, make sure your wardrobe at least matches with your multiple rings getup. So for me recently, a lot more muted colors and such "makes sense" compared to if I dressed up with a white button up, red tie, and blue pants.
I love how rings, like watches, can make or break certain attires. I tried three rings, but couldn’t do it on each hand. My limit is two, although the last week I’ve been rocking pinky rings only. Also, Andres (Noble Metales) is the guy I’ll go to for my formal rings. I got two singlets from him. One for my ring finger and the other for pinky ring.
This video is another example why I subscribed to Alpha. Not only does he give you advice, but he also shares stories behind it.
This video is cool, love rings and great story from alpha m. At the end of this video very good bro!
I typically only wear one ring on my right ring finger, but when I go on motorcycle rides, I put my leather jacket and vest on along with a few extra rings
In Canada pinky rings are worn by engineers. It’s extremely lame hence why I don’t wear mine. Alpha the earrings look great still have mine in and I’m getting to be middle aged
First. I love wearing rings, thank you for the great video! 💙
to be honest guys, unless your a a collector & connoisseur of rings & that's your passion or hobby, women are going to notice anything shiny & they are going to notice which finger it's on, regardless of material
MY EARS ARE GOOD! NO NEED TO SCREAM AND SHOUT!
Fun Fact: Contrary to popular belief, wedding rings are not a symbolism of eternity, but of the joining of two people with the rings symbolizing shackles. Seems fake, but is absolutely true. The "eternity" symbolism was later introduced as a palatable marketing ploy by jewelers.
Meteorite rings!? That's out of this world!!!
Haha, nice one!😂
This guy calling someone douchey is priceless
Just got my wedding band from Thorum. He’s right, great quality, fair price, looks great.
BUT WHY IS HE SCREAMING THE WHOLE TIME?
I now have a reason to wear my castle grayskull ring of power.
I wear 2 rings on my ring finger. One is my wedding band and the other is 2 angel wings wrapped around that symbolizes 2 we lost. On the right hand I wear a pinky ring and a ring finger ring. Felt weird at first because I used to only wear my wedding band but now I can't leave the house without any of them
Love your humor, Alpha. Great video. 👍
1:46 skip if you don't wanna see the sponsorship
That’s so interesting you were on Fear Factor. Used to be one of my favorite shows. You Rock Alpha ❤️
Last year before i went to boot camp long story short, got hurt and ended up discharging my mom got me a Claddagh ring. For those of you dont know its sort of Irish tradition and legend that it has to be a gift, if you buy it yourself you are cursing all hope for future relationships. As it goes with the design you have the crown on top with 2 hands holding a heart, worn on the right hand crown pointed down it means that youre free but if its pointed up toward your heart, it means you belong to someone. Its cool and all i have my class ring but it was honestly a waste of money cause i wore it twice on Junior ring day and graduation other than that i dont wear it. It sits in the box on my bookshelf and i havent even looked at it let alone worn it
be aware in some cultures the wedding band is worn on the right hand but I assume if you live in that culture you will know
I would also like to add the engineer ring for the pinky of your dominant hand. I think it's really cool.
Thank you for educating us about this.
Learnt another one!
Only wear gold and silver.
You were on Fear Factor?! I’m looking for the episode 😂
Your video was both informative and engaging. I appreciate how you tackled it such a unique way. I've explored a parallel theme on Illicium London. Keep it up!
i love the story of the two "M." rings alpha. Really emotional stuff ):
I’ve never been a ring watcher but saw another video earlier that had me thinking to look into it. Saw some good stuff on Jomashop but never heard of Thorum. I checked them out and omg their things look stunning!! And even the ones on the low price point! Thank you so much for getting me hip to this!
Gold ring supremacy... 😌
Wearing a ring on any of your fingers can be a problem if you're working with your hands. Maybe this is why many mechanics, construction workers, and many people who work with their hands take their rings off.
I use to never wear rings besides for a clown type face my freshman year. Now I will wear up to 3 sometimes 4. I like the way they look and it's also a self defense thing for me. Besides for the ring finger I wear bulk rings. I don't wear pinky or thumb rings. Some skulls, an eye one and some bands. I would not suggest fashion wise to do what I do with rings but I like it and I will get people that will compliment my rings and or just take notice and point out if I don't wear one and which one.
I currently wear 2 rings on my left hand. Ring and index. (no not married). Not worried about mixed metals, 1 is yellow gold with clear diamonds and the other is silver with yellow citrine, so they balance nice imo. I'm starting to think about getting some rings for my right hand. What are your thoughts on neighboring fingers btw? Won't that damage the metals?
My mom died in 2015. I have been wearing her high school grad ring on my pinky ever since. The only ring I will never take out of rotation
Bro I just wanted a short video how to wear a ring. Not interesting in your rings.
BETA
Needed to lower the volume by 50%, holy shit!
I liked your personal story at the end. It was a nice touch to this video.
I am a Rockstar hahahaha
Bro!! I literally remember seeing you in that Fear Factor episode 🤯
YO ALPHA YOU SAID OUTFIT AND THAT MADE ME THINK OF YOU CALLING AN OUTFIT A ALPHAFIT THATS TWO FOR ONE OUTFIT AND FITNESS AND OH WOW I THINK THAT CAN BE THE NAME OF YOUR NEW ATHLETIC WEAR LINE ALPHAFIT 😀
This Ring's brand is the best untill alpha makes his own 😂😂😂
He does have his own rings for sale
@@Thorum hahahahaha.
Good Rings, they look awesome.
One thing to keep in mind is that in Germany, your engagement band goes on your left ring finger and then switches over to your right ring finger for your wedding ring. Overall, just be mindful of the culture of where you're living when it comes to those rings.
Was waiting for this video
I have never worn rings before. Can I wear one on my index finger?
I love you Alpha
Supe supe supe Superman, let me get down, let me get down!
Video starts 1:46
Thanks
Thank you
give this man a trophy
I am so glad I watched this video and heard Aaron's story of Fear factor! The more you know
Bro... why are you yelling? I'm here for the info, you already got me.
Starts 1:13
Melted down a krugerrand to make a ring....epic! 😆
I think it’s “King Charles” now. Great vid!👍🏻
In Germany we wear wedding ring in right hand finger.
Loved your fear factor story.
Is it necessary to be married to wear a black ring on your ring finger of your left hand? because black ring also symbolises power, conviction, strength.
Prince Charles does wear a pinky ring but he also wears children's blood so.....
First comment from Nepal
Ek plate momos please
You can fix that split ring easy , you already know that tho
We love to wear rings. We have our taste in rings. 💪
Hi great video, I recently changed my gold wedding ring for a polished stainless steel wedding band, I love how it looks and it was so cheap £3.00 but I just wonder what people will think as it is a cheap metal. I wonder what are your thoughts.
I miss the podcasts
I might get my first ring soon. what finger should i wear it on? I was thinking either ring finger or pointer.
Now i know where i had seen you...Fear Factor Great 😃 👍
I wear three rings, but I cannot stop biting my nails. I'm a mess!
Nice video, thank you :)
I knw this is a old video but I want to wear my marine Corp ring and my wedding ring
Your grandfathers ring is raw as hell
First comment from Somalia
Why this man shouting at me in a high pitched voice?
I don't know if there's a proper way, I mean some dudes can wear it properly but they still look like fruits.
Fruits? U mean they look fruity?
I can't were rings for some reason don't feel comfortable
My skull rings i wear on both middle fingers incase I need to flip someone off. 🖕 lol 😆 😜 🤪 🍺 🍻
Wear em as you like. Have an awesome day gentlemen. Jk. Thanks for the tip Alpha.
Little Alpha Monkey is so funny
Thank you A. I love great videos like these. Straight to the point. Appreciate it. Didn’t know anything about the ring game. Also. If you would like to recommend a great life coach! Corey Wayne!
5:33 ring magic 😂🤣😂🤣
What you think about me wearing two rings on the right hand? Pinky and pointer. To balance my left ring and the watch?
That would look 🔥 I also do that
Thorum
I was just thinking about your initial m. Monogram ring and I wanted to know should the initial be Capitalized or Lower Case? Please help me understand.
Thanks
My husband and I decided each of us would buy a pair of rings each of us liked seperately.
Then while I'll wear his ring my right hand he wears his matching ring on his left. Thus when we hold hands our rings are matching.
Then first of every month we switch hands. Thus again when holding hands we are wearing the same ring at all times.
Its GREAT!!!
I'm a little confused on something here, someone help me out, if I wanted to get a ring from Thorum, GentleBands, or ManlyBands for my right ring finger would it be weird to have since it's technically classified as a men's "wedding ring"? I don't want to be in an awkward situation where people would ask me over and over again saying "why do you got a wedding ring on your right hand?"
Left ring finger is for marriage, right is usually just for style since it’s one of the fingers that’s not going to get in the way as much
@@Svt_Wyatt so if I wear rings like that on my right hand I should be good?
1 billion thourn ads later.
Thanks for sharing stories about your rings, could actually tell you have very sentimental feelings about them. Hearing your stories, had me thinking about having my late fathers wedding ring resized, to wear on my right hand in his memory? Does it sound strange? 🤫
PS... years ago "pinkie" rings were a "code" for the gay community.
I have large hands I wear a size 16 ring finger so I wear a big skull ring and a big cross ring
Are these used to "scrape the barrel"?
Anyone wearing a pear ring?
yeeooooo thanks
Rings, Aaron? Rings?
Age shows on this video. King Charles now.
Ahhhh he scared me 😅
do can sorry not no
What kind of rings go with vitiligo
cool story bro
