LaughingWolf Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I asked this question in chat, some people knew what I was talking about, some do, some don't, and some that hadn't heard of it expressed interest in it. I'm wondering how often the black ring on middle finger right hand is used? And if you do - what does your ring look like? Link to post Share on other sites
Sennkestra Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I wear the black ring almost all the time, unless I'm in a hurry in the morning and forget to put it on. Mine are just fairly plain silver rings from Claire's with a layer of black nail polish. I like them because they're a lot thinner than most other kinds of black rings so they're more comfortable. Although sometimes I'll double up and wear two if I want to be visible. Link to post Share on other sites
Sen Holiday Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 What's the black ring thing? Ace-marker? 'Cause if that's the case, I'll totally go find a black ring/convert one of my many to black. Link to post Share on other sites

LaughingWolf Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 You saw mine this morning :) I wore it today That one Yup, it's neat. I think the idea is just that it is/has black and is on right hand middle finger. I'm just going to get a plain black band if I can find one inexpensive that I like. I think with that triangle on it i would hurt myself :lol: Link to post Share on other sites
lessthanlevi Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I wear one! I seldom take mine off. it's a nice reminder of both my asexiness and my nerdity. I think I just invented a word. nerdity. hm. Link to post Share on other sites
Sen Holiday Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Oh. That's fantastic. Done. I'll make, dumpster, or convert a black ring to wear on my middle finger. Awesome. Also, Kaylamp - I approve that your gender is peter pan. I think that's pretty rad. Acer - that's a pretty ring! Link to post Share on other sites
Seele Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I've had two that where hematite and I managed to loose both within a week of having them. One shattered, and the other was apparently just eaten by my bedroom. I do plan on getting another one (I'm just going to get a plain silver ring and paint it black).

nleseul Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 This is the one I have. I wear it when I'm going out (usually at the same time as my polyamory pendant), but don't really make an everyday thing of it. The size I ordered is a bit too big for me, so it's somewhat uncomfortable to wear for long. Link to post Share on other sites

If you're willing to spend the money, it's well worth it. I've been through a couple hematite and plastic ones, but they broke too easily. I figured it would be better to just invest in a nice ring than try to find a new cheap one every other week. Link to post Share on other sites

I gave up after two... I need something a little tougher lol. Link to post Share on other sites

darklucia Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I don't have a black ring yet but I plan to get one. Right now I wear a black rubber band around my finger so I can hopefully get used to wearing a ring there. Link to post Share on other sites
Ozian13 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I usually do, but I'm not currently because the hemmatite ring I was wearing broke. I'm on the lookout for a nicer, more permenant ring. Link to post Share on other sites
Vorpal Bunny Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I've never heard of this ring thing... but now I really really want to do it, it sounds awesome. *gone ring hunting* Link to post Share on other sites
LaughingWolf Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 There's a bunch of rings on Amazon if you put "black tungsten carbide rings" in the search. And you can sort with your price range, there was 514 results at $25-$50, so plenty to choose from without breaking the bank. YAY! Now I just have to get my finger sized before I order one online....

Vanadis Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Yeah, stone rings, not the best. They're pretty, but no matter how careful you are they always seem to shatter. I had two in my pocket one day, and I was pulling something out and both fell out and broke. I also had a worry stone do that to me. That being said, now I want to go ring hunting myself.

Sennkestra Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 To all the people trying to find cheaper/more durable methods: I seriously recommend the black nailpolish method - you just take any ring with a shape you like, give it a coat or two of black nail polish, and you're good to go! It might chip after being worn for a while, but it can be fixed really easily with just a dab of more polish. Also, someone else pointed out this site which periodically has good deals on plain black rings. Link to post Share on other sites
JJButterworth Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I wear mine at all times and once, it stoped a guy from "hitting on" me. Link to post Share on other sites
Seele Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 So after making my post I decided since I'm feeling good at the moment (been sick) I should get out in the world and I went to Target to ring shop. I found a set of black rings (one had a pearl on it) for 8 bucks at Target so I bought it. Rings Probably not the best image in the world. I'm wearing three at once so it's a little bit more noticeable but the middle one a series a knots and is my favorite. And it's only a little bit loose (which is good cause I want to be able to get off my finger I suppose. Also, because I'm pretty sick in the head and easily amused, I'm going to go back to Target on Thursday and see if I can get another one they had there that is a solid black octopus. The one the they had were to big. Link to post Share on other sites
LaughingWolf Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 Those are really neat. I don't have a Target near me :( Maybe I'll check mall-wart... I thought Hot Topic would but the one here had maybe 3 and I didn't like any of them. Link to post Share on other sites
Wineblood Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I have this one, although I don't wear it much. Link to post Share on other sites

Same here, I do this because it's harder to find black rings in thinner widths. 6-8mm is way too big on a small hand. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah i totally checked Hottopic a couple of times and they really didnt have much at all -_- I haven't thought of target tho! I bought a black ring from walmart but in just 2 weeks almost all of the black stuff had chipped away :( Link to post Share on other sites
_Kes_ Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I wear a hematite ring. On another black ring thread here, someone suggested this site, which is where I got mine. Nice, cheap hematite rings. Today's actually the first day I haven't worn it since I got it over a month ago. I'm getting tan lines from my watch and ring already, and I'm trying to make them go away. :lol: Otherwise I'd be wearing it. Link to post Share on other sites

I'll see if they have anything halfway worth the money, but I'll probably end up ordering something on Amazon. I really like the tungsten carbide stuff. Link to post Share on other sites

No claires... we have one of the copy-cats... icing or something. I can't remember, they all look the same from the outside. They didn't hardly have any rings and the ones they had were HUGE ugly gaudy things, like costume jewelry, why would anyone wear that??? :lol: Link to post Share on other sites
