It was used by medieval archers for protection from their bows and by Chinese military officials to determine rank. Today, it has become more of a fashion statement. Women's thumb rings can be traced back to ancient Rome and Egypt. I do sometimes but for many its considered a Gay symbol which I didn't know until very recently. So if I do it, I do it on my right thumb which is supposed to mean I'm single.

Do you wear them? I like um. :)

I like them but wearing them drives me crazy. I can't forget that it is there and it irritates me. LOL.
 
I prefer the look of these.

I bought some for my wife many moons ago, it might be time to revisit.
It would make a great steam-punk style.

Hmm. I bet I could find some artists to make me a set in a more steampunk style. That's a great idea!

They make hand movements so much more graceful.
 
I heard it symbolizes you as a carpet muncher.

I know! :rolleyes: And sadly that makes me wear them less. No more performing with them either because they've flown off a couple of times while dancing. They look cool while playing zills. Gays stole the rainbow too. :catroar:

You could put it on your toe in the fair weather seasons. Not sure if toe-rings have any secret meanings. ;)
 
I love wearing lil silver toe rings on my 'ring' toes. The ones next to my pinky toe. But I don't do big toe rings. A guy with a toe ring says Gay to me... but maybe not.
