Wear it if it makes you happy.

The only guys wearing pinky rings in my neighborhood were the ones who were connected (or thought that they were)

Yes... pinky signet rings are AWESOME.
I rocked one for years in 22k... then I got off the gold train and moved to platinum for both my ring finger and my pinky.

You don't need to ask. If it would have some 'meaning' for you - do it.
I hate things on my fingers but when going out in the evening I will wear my Dad's gold signet ring as a tribute to a special guy, and my Wedding ring as a tribute to a great Wife.
By the time I get home I am pleased to remove them.

Good mobster look if that's what you are going for. Italian and Jewish mafia boys nailed this look.

So a pinky ring or a signet ring (which can be worn on the pinky)? I think they convey a different message. I’d rock a signet on my right ring finger all day though they’ve been known to be on the pointer or stacked with a wedding band on the pinky (see Prince Charles)

It’s a no from me.
Tried wearing my wedding ring but just couldn’t get used to the feeling of a ring on my finger. It was quite a wide ring so I think I’m going to try again with a thin ring, perhaps only 3mm, to see if that makes a difference.

If you like it, hook it up. I've seen some nice ones. My wedding ring is enough for me, though.

Do it, if you want...

Lurker here.... I just had my wedding ring 'repurposed' for the right-hand. The watch as 'bait for chicks' in San Diego isn't quite enough (or so it appears).

I figured it's been sitting in my safe for 10+ years, I should do _something_ with it....

Sushi in O.B. across the street where I had the original jeweler update it for me:

I got a signet style ring when I graduated from medical school. It used to fit on my right ring finger, but now if I put it on there I’m not sure I’d get it off. It does fit on my pinkey just fine though. I’ve worn it occasionally for fun.
If you like it, go for it!

While the look doesn’t work for me personally . I think that it depends on what else you are wearing.

You don’t want to look like John Gotti, well, unless you do, I guess.

I hate wearing rings. I don't like the feeling. Was forced to wear one on my ring finger for a while. Glad I don't have to anymore.

This should make a big difference. I did something similar. My first wedding ring was very wide. Probably 10mm or so in gold. After a few years I just couldn't do it anymore. I switched it up to a 4-5mm gold band and it was much more comfortable for me. My wife didn't love the idea, but it was either that or not wear one at all.

Nowadays MUCH more comfortable with no ring tho!

No pinky ring for me.

I do wear a ring on each ring finger. Wedding ring and Family Ring. All the men have Lion Ring. My Dad has diamonds in eyes, one uncle had emeralds and other had rubies.

The ladies have Lion necklaces and bracelets with gem stones.

Don’t wear any rings. I’ve got a wedding ring, but just couldn’t get used to having something on my finger. My wife doesn’t seem to mind. Most of the men I know my age (in Scotland) don’t wear rings either.
