Pinky Rings on Men - Trad or Tasteless?

[amateurjeweler]

Update! I actually returned the silver pinky ring and purchased the same design in gold to fit my ring finger. I still like the idea of a pinky ring, especially one from Cartier later down the road. Currently enjoying my new go-to right hand stack. Thanks for all the replies and opinions!

Don't care for them on anyone.

Can't stand them on anyone. I don't find it traditional, but trashy is also not the word. I just find them ...ridiculously unappealing. I know this sounds weird but seeing them gives me the feeling that nails on the chalkboard gives people.

Totally agree with this!

Pinkie rings are very common among engineers educated in the British Commonwealth outside of Britain. They are typically a stainless steel band worn on the smallest finger of the working hand. They are steeped n tradition and mystery.

Love your rings!

I much prefer the gold one stacked with your other rings to be worn on your ring finger.Much more classy.
Pinky rings look trashy to me.Sorry.

I don't really like any jewelery on men save for a wedding ring and wrist watch but these rings are much better, enjoy them!

Yes, this is the mark of an engineer!


Can't believe the opinions here...had no idea some consider it so ugly! I'm a gal, but I had been searching for the perfect pinky ring for a while, until I started wearing one on my right hand and realized it interfered with being able to handwrite!


I have a Tiffany wide mesh ring that fits my DH's pinky and he loves to wear it sometimes!

I think it looks interesting.
Wear it if you are confident enough to be special. Rings on the pinky are not mainstream.

I think it also depends on where you live. We are in NYC and DS is involved in the creative arts. A few weeks ago he asked if he can have his ears pierced - not ear, earS! And then I noticed how many guys he's around who have them! Regardless of orientation - his dance teacher, his rock band director, lots of people we see walking around the city. It's funny all the opinions here about pinky rings - mainstream??? heck, try a septum ring! One of his headshot photographers wears one. (And by the way, the answer was NO).
