So what is the secret to
finding the perfect Pinky Ring? Well it's not as easy as you'd think. Most people don't think twice about what kind of ring to wear on their pinky, but believe me,
there's lots of things to consider when making that all important Pinky Ring purchase. For Example...
Does the ring set up high? If the rings sets up high then that Pinky Ring is going to take a lot of abuse. Every time you set your hands down or pick something up, your rings and the mountings will take a beating. And if it's setting up high, then it'll be banging into things, getting caught, slammed around, squished. Especially on the pinky! That ring will be unprotected and it's almost certain to get damaged.
So for starters, consider a ring with a low profile. (See picture for examples of good Pinky Rings with low profile mountings that will wear nicely on the little finger!)
Next up... is the ring light-weight or hollow? If the ring is too wimpy, you're going to end up crushing it or denting the sides in. Pinky Rings should be solid and durable so they can handle the wear and tear. The Pinky Ring is the most abused ring you'll ever own. Make sure it's heavy enough to stand up to the test.
You'll also need to consider what Gemstones you'll want to have in it. (If any!) There are a lot of Gems and Gem Stones that are brittle and break easily: Stones like Black Onyx (which is a popular stone for a Man's Ring), Tanzanite (which is a great new stone, but expensive and soft), Opals (beautiful colorful stones that dull up and crack easily), Emeralds (one of the rarest precious stones out there, that I wouldn't recommend as a Pinky Ring stone because of it's durability issues). Gemstones that chip and bust quickly shouldn't be worn on the Pinky. Those gemstones are just asking for trouble. Stick with more durable Gems like Sapphire, Ruby, and of course the favorite Diamond!
