[edit] What finger?

An interesting addition might be to indicate the finger different rings are traditionally worn on, if applicable (for instance, class ring - middle finger, right hand, according to a few sites I just visited to find the info). DonaNobisPacem 05:57, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History of the Ring

I'd like see something about the history of the finger ring in the article T@nn 09:38, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] White men & rings

I find that white men have a higher rate of wearing rings than East Asians. What's up with that? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.114.27.241 (talk) 03:41, 18 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Varity of meaning depending finger use.

Anyone know what it means to wear a ring on what finger? Around here it's 'mandatory' to wear a wedding ring on the ring finger, but what about other uses? What would it mean if one wears a signet ring on his middle finger for example? etc... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drakuun (talk • contribs) 21:14, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Masonic ring

I am cutting this from the list. There really isn't anything special about a masonic ring. It is simply a ring depicting masonic symbols, identifying the wearer as belonging to the Freemasons... it's no different than rings created for most fraternal societies. The list does not talk about Rotary rings, Knights of Columbus rings, or any of a dozen other fraternal societies that have rings. Perhaps an entry on "Fraternaty rings" would fit the bill better. Also, while many masonic rings depict the Square and Compasses (probably the best known masonic emblem), not all do. Some will depict other Masonic symbols. Thanks.
