Men's Pinky Rings

Buyer's guide

Men's pinky rings: how to choose a gold pinky ring that fits

Measure the little finger first, then choose the top and the karat of the gold

Size the little finger itself before anything else, since a loose pinky ring spins and a tight one pinches. Then pick the top, a row of diamonds or a Mayan pattern, in 14K gold, which stands up to the knocks the edge of the hand takes. Read the grams too, since the heft is part of the look, and ask the desk whether the stones are lab-grown or natural.

Pinky size: what size pinky ring to get, and how a ring on the pinky should fit

Take the number from the little finger that will carry the ring, using the sizer on the men's rings page. On the gold rings here, a 7 was the size bought most. Most menus carry it, nearly all with the half sizes, so keep the half if you measure one. The cross goes down to a 2. A few rings run up to a 12. The letters ring comes in a single size and the gorilla ring lists none, so ask the desk first. Wear it snug, since a heavy top on a loose ring rolls toward the next finger.

Style: men's pinky ring styles, diamond, Mayan, upside-down and custom

The top decides how loud the hand reads. A diamond top packs stones across a flat face, and the twelve-stone ring led that kind. A Mayan ring frames its diamonds in a geometric pattern, and the heavy 14K Mayan is the gold ring bought most. The two upside-down rings set lab-grown Asscher cuts with the point facing out. A bezel closes metal around each stone, so nothing snags. The figures run from a gorilla and a cross to a crowned lion in .925 silver, which outsold every gold ring. Several rings here are custom work, from the weed leaf to the letters ring.

Gold: 14K or 10K gold pinky ring, yellow, white or rose

Most rings here are 14K, the karat for a ring that meets every tabletop first. 10K, on the lighter Mayan and the championship ring, is the harder and paler choice. The black enamel bezel ring is platinum, and the lion is .925 silver. Every gold ring but one comes in yellow, white and rose. Yellow went out on about three gold rings in four.

Stones: diamond pinky rings, lab-grown or natural, sapphire and black diamond

Diamonds sit on every ring here. The two upside-down rings and the championship ring are lab-grown, and the letters ring is natural. Lab-grown is diamond carbon for carbon, and the only difference is where the crystal formed. The two sapphire rings, one blue and one royal, set round sapphires with diamonds at the sides, and one ring carries black diamonds. Printed carat totals start at a fifth of a carat, on the platinum bezel ring and the silver lion. The championship ring carries more than 21 carats. Titles rarely name the origin, and fewer than half the listings print a grade, so the desk fills in both on request.

Buying: custom pinky rings, resizing, returns and the desk

Pin down the size before the order goes in. Once the bench resizes a ring, or builds one around your letters or a figure, it cannot come back. A custom ring takes bench time, so ask the desk for the wait before you pay. Text a sketch or photo of your design to 212-872-9692, or call that number. The live chat answers too. Returns follow the refund policy.

Questions we get at the counter

What does a ring on the pinky mean?

Nothing fixed; for most men it is a style choice, a statement ring worn where it shows without crowding the ring finger. The habit goes back to signet rings, pressed into wax to seal letters and often worn on the little finger.

What size pinky ring should a man get?

Get the size your little finger measures, not your ring finger's, since the pinky nearly always runs smaller. The sizer on the men's rings page reads it at home. A 7 was the size bought most on the gold rings here.

Should a gold pinky ring be 14K or 10K?

14K suits most men, and most rings here are made in it. 10K carries less gold, so its yellow looks a shade paler, but it resists scratches a little better. The 10K rings here are the lighter Mayan and the championship.

More questions we get

Which hand does a man wear a pinky ring on?

Either hand is right. Many men pick the hand they do not write with, where the ring takes fewer knocks. Your pinkies can differ from hand to hand by a half size, so measure the one that will wear it.

Are the diamonds in these pinky rings real?

Yes, each ring here carries diamonds: lab-grown on the upside-down rings and the championship ring, natural on the letters ring. For any other ring, the desk will tell you which before you pay.

How heavy is a men's pinky ring?

Expect about 16 grams, the middle weight of the rings here. The gold cross is the lightest, under 11 grams. The championship ring is the heaviest, 33 grams. Every listing prints its grams, so compare those rather than the pictures.

Can I get a custom pinky ring made?

Yes. The bench makes pinky rings to order with your own letters or a figure. Text a picture to the desk at 212-872-9692 to start, and know that custom work is final sale.

Can I return a pinky ring?

Yes, unless it was resized or made to order for you. Text the desk within fourteen calendar days from delivery for our insured label, then ship it unworn and unaltered. Expect five percent for restocking and the return shipping to be taken from the refund.
