Women wearing rings on pinky fingers: What does it mean?
Melody Godfred, one of Fred + Far’s founders, explained that she got the idea for a pink finger ring as she wanted to remind herself to take care of herself. The ring was indeed as a symbol of empowerment, as well as a commitment to oneself.
Speaking to Mental Scoops, Godfred said: “I chose to create the ring for my pinky because it is a finger I’ve never worn a ring on before. It is as overlooked as women can be in their own lives.
“It felt very powerful to me to take a traditional symbol of commitment to someone else (big bold engagement rings) and say, ‘This time, I’m choosing myself.’ I still wear my engagement ring proudly, and these two rings are not mutually exclusive. Because loving yourself, makes you better able to love someone else.”
The ring in question features an inverted triangular stone supposed to represent the power of “divine feminine”. If you ask us, regardless of the cost of a ring, or what material it’s crafted from, appreciating your own worth and wearing something as a symbol of your own integrity can only be a good thing.
