But perhaps there is no piece of jewelry in history that has transcended mere ornamentation to become a symbol of status and identity more than the humble pinky ring.

A small yet significant accessory that has made a, perhaps surprisingly major, mark on fashion and culture, the pinky ring today is making a comeback in the form of bold gold, diamonds, and a lot of personality. But what exactly is it about the pinky ring that has everyone from ancient civilizations to modern-day trendsetters crave its tiny presence? And how should you wear one? Let's talk about everything pinky rings and how to add them to your collection.

What is a pinky ring?

A pinky ring, of course, is simply a ring one wears on the pinky, the smallest outer finger on the hand. It is merely a matter of placement, not a definition of any particular ring style. However, throughout history, there have been some styles more commonly worn on the pinky. The most significant of these is the signet ring, a type of ring that features a design, symbol, or monogram engraved onto a flat surface, called the "signet."

Today, however, there are no rules. Whether it's chunky gold pinky rings, sterling silver pinky rings, ruby or blue sapphire studded pinky rings, or symbols of love and commitment worn on the outer finger, it is really up to the wearer as to how they want to display their jewelry.

A Glimpse into History

All jewelry and accessories have a very rich history, and that of the pinky ring is nothing to scoff at. It is, in fact, quite diverse. In ancient times, this diminutive ring style adorned the fingers of Egyptian pharaohs, to signify their royal lineage and power. In Roman times, the signet ring, often worn on the pinky finger, served as a stamp of authority and was used to authenticate documents and letters. Hence, why you will often find antique rings in signet ring styles adorned with monograms, initials, or royal seals.

Pinky rings became synonymous with aristocracy and nobility throughout the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance, often embellished with precious gems and intricate designs to denote wealth and social standing. In Victorian England, gentlemen of distinction often wore pinky rings as a symbol of membership in exclusive clubs or societies. And in the early- to mid-twentieth century, this style was also worn by many to signify same-sex preferences, reflecting the necessarily secretive culture of the time.

Cultural Significance and Symbolism

Beyond their cultural and powerful appeal, pinky rings have also symbolized familial lineage or affiliation with a particular group or organization. They have served as talismans, believed to bring luck, protection, or even healing properties to the wearer.

Moreover, pinky rings have historically been associated with masculinity, serving as a marker of status and authority for men. However, their significance has transcended gender boundaries in recent years, with an increasing number of women embracing the trend and incorporating pinky rings into their personal style.

The Modern Resurgence

Today, pinky rings are making a big splash in fashion again, with celebrities, influencers, and fashion enthusiasts alike embracing this classic accessory. Unlike their predecessors, however, women and men both are really owning their own style when it comes to choosing a modern pinky ring, as they come in a myriad of styles, materials, and designs, catering to a diverse range of tastes and preferences. Here are a few of our favorites you can try out and play with to find one that suits your own style:

The Thin Gold Band

If you're not quite sure how you feel about a pinky ring just yet, or you're not ready for something that stands out, you can give the style a shot with something thin and simple. A slender gold band will do the trick, and in a smaller ring size, such as most pinkies will be, it's an affordable way to try out the style. You can of course choose a plain band, but we like adding something with just a bit of texture to catch the eye. Worn on its own or stacked with other gold pinky rings, a slender twist band should do the trick. It's one of our best-sellers for a reason.

The Modern Signet Ring

Then of course you could go with a modern version of the classic signet ring, in bright yellow gold, with or without a monogram or accent diamonds or gemstones. Meant for all you dreamers, our starry night signet ring is petite enough to be comfortable on the pinky, yet with a bold face and daintily engraved stars will make a statement of its own. It's set with a single diamond for just a hint of sparkle and is one of the most loved items in our clients' jewelry collections. You can choose it in yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, or even platinum to get the look of your dreams.

GOODSTONE Starry Night Signet Ring

Step into modern elegance with our Starry Night Signet Ring a contemporary twist on the classic signet design.

The Chunky Diamond Band

If subtle isn't really your thing, we fully support you going all out with a big diamond pinky ring. Choose a style and shape of diamond that you love, like this Petite Shared Prong Band with Oval Diamonds. It's certainly going to speak loudly when worn on the pinky and leave everyone staring. You can change out the diamond shape or the metal color as you like. There are staggered baby baguette diamonds, a band with deep red rubies, or even a chunky gold ring with bezel set east-west emerald cut diamonds. We know it's a mouthful, but as pinky rings go, it's a favorite.

The Diamond Gap Ring

One of the most modern ways to rock a pinky ring is with a gap band, which is a band that has an open space, and typically the two ends are adorned with diamonds or gemstones. It's a subtle, graphic design that really stands out from the ring crowd. And it works for women or men who want something a bit different without being too over the top. This dainty round band version can be set with different stone shapes as the end points, such as round diamonds or pear diamonds, depending on your preferences.

GOODSTONE Twin Pear Diamond Finger Cuff

Revamp your style with a modern take on the classic pinky ring – the gap band. Featuring the Twin Pear Diamond Finger Cuff, perfect for those seeking something unique without going overboard.

Embracing Individuality

In the end, what sets pinky rings apart is their ability to transcend trends and become an enduring symbol of individuality and self-expression. Whether you wear one as a nod to tradition, a bold fashion statement, or a subtle expression of personal style, the allure of the pinky ring lies in its versatility and timelessness.

As a gender-neutral style, pinky rings can be found in everything from sleek and minimalist bands to ornate statement pieces studded with gemstones and intricate engravings. There truly is a pinky ring to suit every style sensibility.
