What's Your Ring Style? Take The Quiz
Ever catch someone looking at your hands?
Maybe you follow the gaze of a friend, a family member, or that special someone… and they’re looking at your hands—only to quickly look away when they see you notice.
You’ve probably wondered what they’re thinking about and what your hands say about you.
The answer is—a lot! Even when you’re not using body language or making a hand gesture, your hand says a lot on your behalf.
Here are the top six facts our hands say about you.
(Psst! I handpicked three of my favorite stackable rings. Wear one or more, and you won’t be able to stop the envious glances—or compliments!)

1. Your hands show your fashion sense
The first thing most people notice when they see your hands is your fashion sense.
That might sound surprising, but you know it’s true! When you see someone with an outdated manicure or tacky rings, you can immediately guess how the rest of their outfit might be.
But that’s also great news because a few simple jewelry hacks can transform your look instantly! If you choose the right jewelry for your body type, you can draw the eyes to your favorite features and away from other areas.
For example, a set of dainty rings can immediately slim your appearance. If you go the opposite route, you can draw eyes down to your waist with colorful statement rings.
The options are limitless!

2. Your hands show your grooming habits
After your face and hair, nothing shows off your grooming habits like your hand.
You don’t have to have a perfect manicure all the time to keep your hands clean, nails trimmed, and skin looking soft and moisturized. But clean hands take a little more work than a dab of hand sanitizer to kill germs.
The first place to start is good nail grooming habits, of course. But did you know that precious metals can also help keep your hands looking their best?
Hypoallergenic jewelry, including everything we sell here at Blush and Bar, prevents redness and outbreaks. Plus, there are benefits of wearing gold that help keep your skin feeling at its best.

3. Your hands can hint at your wealth
Whether we like it or not, jewelry is one of the clearest ways for a woman to show her financial status.
Most of us aren’t professional jewelers, but we can all spot cheap mall jewelry from a mile away. And it’s even more apparent if those rings start turning your fingers green.
But you don’t have to break the bank with a flashy diamond ring on your hand to look stylish.
Blush and Bar’s gold vermeil jewelry is made from a combination of real sterling silver and 18-karat gold. It’s made of precious metals but without the price tag.
4. Your hands tell what you love to do
Sometimes, you can tell someone’s hobby or profession by their hands.
For example, I can always spot musicians because they have short, tidy nails. Someone who loves to garden might have a sun-kissed tan.
Your hands express what you love to do and share something special to you with the world.

5. Your hands reveal your relationship
Of everything on this list, this one is probably the most obvious!
We all know to immediately spot a wedding or engagement ring on the ring finger of someone’s left hand. But in some countries and cultures, these unique symbolic rings can be on other fingers, too.
An engagement ring doesn’t have to be expensive to be significant to you and your partner. Here are a few of our favorite affordable engagement rings that can be the start of your life together:

6. Your hands tell your real age
Did you know that your hands age faster than your face?
That’s right—you can always tell someone’s real age from their hands. But it isn’t just the years that make our hands look older. How they age matters just as much, if not more.
With grooming and a few accessories that complement your age, you can make your hands look younger.
With the proper care and lifestyle, you can also keep your hands healthy and avoid symptoms like swelling in the hands, arthritis, or carpal tunnel syndrome.

Can your hands tell your future and your personality?
Some people say that your hands can tell your personality and your future. Many of these beliefs come from old traditions that date back hundreds of years.
Palm reading, also called palmistry, claims that your details and future are hidden in your hand size, shape, and patterns.
For example, different lines across your palm—known as the heart line, head line, fate line, life line, and others—are said to tell your personality and potential.
A palm reader might say someone with long fingers is more detail-oriented, while someone with a square palm (called “earth hands”) is more logical.
We also know that finger length (or digit ratio) changes based on testosterone exposure in the womb. If your index finger is shorter than your ring finger, for example, you had more exposure.
But the research is still unclear on exactly how that impacts how we act.
How to change what your hands say about you
No matter what your hands are saying about your right now, the good news is that you can change it at any time!
Proper hand care is an essential step to making sure your hands show off your beauty. But it can take weeks or months to start seeing results.
With a quick grooming routine and a few pieces of just-right jewelry, you can create an immediate look that sets you apart.
