asexual ring?

I have heard that we aces have a ring...

What is this ring? Is it a certain ring, or is it just any black ring? Where do I find this ring?

I tried to do a search of AVEN, but I just came up with a bunch of people talking about the ring without actually saying anything specific. I would really like a ring, because I feel like that might increase my chances of finding other aces (or maybe just other people that like black rings ha!) but I'm not sure what the specifications are supposed to be.

It's just any black ring - I made mine out of 12 gauge black wire I got at a craft shop, but you can find cheap ones on Ebay/Amazon/etc if not locally.

What the above said.

But honestly, it's unlikely that it'll increase your chances at all. That's what it's there for, certainly, but we make up roughly one-percent of the world's population and are therefore spread pretty far apart. I'm not saying that this has never worked ever, but you might be wearing it for a few years to come before anyone guesses that you might be an amoeba.

to be exact the black ring is worn on the right middle finger to indicate asexuality or support for the asexual community.

Unfortunately, I don't think it increases the chance of meeting another ace, but I could be wrong, although I hav been wearing mine for over a year now, and it hasn't helped me meet any aces.

Yes, any black ring will do. I made one out of embroidery floss, the same way you make friendship bracelets.

I just started wearing mine and obviously nobody has noticed, but I do feel proud wearing it.

I suppose the more people that know of it and wear it the higher that chance of randomly meeting one another. That being said I never wear any Jewlery and can't for work so I'm not likely to be spotted wearing one. :( :/

Looks like you've already gotten great answers! Right hand middle finger is the standard, but I've heard/seen people that wear it on other fingers, too. And also the usual would be all black (example), but you can take creative license with it, too. : ) I have a couple I wear that are silver rings, but the decorative elements/stones are all black. It's really up to you. As yet, I haven't been asked about my ring(s), but I wear it mostly for my own self-confidence. I just love it!

If you are like me are around a lot of fairly nosy people be prepared to explain what the ring means (or think of another reason to wear it if you don't want to come out). Most of the people I've come out to was because they asked about the ring.

I want a black ring too, I don't wear jewelry but I will this one. When I searched for it I found only black Lotr rings from The Lord of the rings, pretty cool.

A simple black ring can be literally anything. Is there anything out there thats black or black/white/grey and has the triangle incorporated into it? Thats a more obvious signal to others and a more obvious representation of what you are than a plain black ring. Id love to wear something but an ordinary ring that happens to be black can simply be a ring that happens to be black-- its not going to convey anything I dont think. Too subtle

It can be any black ring, you wear it on you right middle finger. Not your ring finger, I repeat NOT on your ring finger.

dontmagpie there are some more "ace-ish" rings out there. There's one on amazon that, while technically poker themed, is a black ring with a ace of diamonds card design on it.

Thanks for all of the responses! :)

That makes it super easy then. I'm sure I can find a plain black ring somewhere. I'll scope out some stores the next time I get paid. And I will make sure to put it on the middle finger. ;) If I find any similar ace colored rings, I will let you all know.

I know there's like a one in seventeen bajillion chance that wearing a ring will help me find other aces. But, hey, that's greater than the one in fifty-six bajillion chance I have now. (Yes I said bajillion. Don't judge my awesome math. :P )
