The Secret Meaning Behind Wearing A Black Ring

Some people wear jewelry because it is the perfect accessory to their outfit, but others wear it to convey a messages. The most common meaning, of course, is delivered by a ring on the ring finger of the left hand, which signifies someone is married, but there are other ways wearing jewelry can mean something, like a religious symbol on a necklace or a meaningful charm on a bracelet. Well it turns out there is another piece of jewelry that has a meaning not known to many. It's a black ring and when it is worn on the right hand, depending on which finger it's on, it has a very particular significance.

Believe it or not, a black ring on any finger of the right hand aside from the middle finger means that the wearer is a swinger. Podcasts about the swinging lifestyle, like Life on the Swingset, have revealed the secret meaning. It's not the only symbol that swingers use either, the pineapple is a more well known one that is often used people who take part in swinging.

Interestingly, if a black ring is worn on the middle finger, it pretty much means the opposite, that the wearer identifies as asexual. Of course, a person might just be wearing a black ring because they like the look of it and have no idea of its other meanings.
