Sokolov: accessibility and uniqueness
About 20 years ago, married couple Elena and Alexey Sokolov began their jewelry production in Russia.
And in 2014, the brand itself appeared - Sokolov. Interestingly, the brand is known far beyond Russia. In Europe, jewelry from this brand is sold out with a bang.
The brand's wedding rings are distinguished by reliable fastenings, high quality metal and proven quality of the precious stones themselves. Sokolov focus on superior design. In the trade line you can find both traditional inexpensive wedding rings and extravagant ones.
Known ring models:
1. "Lacy". The unusual cut gives the ring amazing beauty.
The circumference of the ring is thick, and on top it looks like lace is applied. The design of the ring is reminiscent of Russian folk patterns. Antique stylization allows the owner of such a ring to stand out and show off her uniqueness. 585 gold is used to make the ring. Price – 5,000 rub. 2. "Trinity". It consists of several thin rings made of white, yellow and red gold connected together. Moreover, these rings are fastened in such a way that they constantly change places if you remove and put the ring on your finger again. Such an unusual design has brought this model of the Sokolov brand ring to the top of sales. Price – 7,000 rubles.
3. Combined gold and diamond. What’s interesting is that the manufacturers of this brand know how to combine the incongruous. Many designs of wedding rings use gold and stones of various colors with ease and grace. So, in this ring the circumference of the ring is made of two metals - white and yellow gold. And the ring is decorated with a diamond. It would seem like a classic, but the design is unique! Price – about 9,000 rubles.

Back in 1981, this decoration cost only 60 thousand dollars, but having become a legacy of the royal family, its price has increased significantly: today it is estimated at 500 thousand dollars and is considered the most replicated jewelry in the world.

- Paris Hilton. Greek billionaire Paris Latis did not spare $4.7 million for his beloved. This cost him a white gold ring with a 24-carat square diamond flanked by two more baguette-cut stones. After the breakup, the girl sold the gift at auction and spent the proceeds on charity.
- Kim Kardashian. This American star also received the most expensive wedding rings as a gift from her fiancés. But perhaps Kanye West outdid everyone, who presented Kim with a 20-carat diamond ring worth about $8 million. True, there is a criminal history associated with the decoration.

When actor and rapper Nick Cannon proposed to pop diva Mariah Carey, she couldn't refuse - and put on a stunning ring with a 17-carat emerald-cut pink diamond surrounded by 58 smaller stones.

Thumb
It is believed that rings on the thumb are worn by bright personalities with a twist, strong and self-confident men.
On the one hand, a thumbs up is an expression of approval. On the other hand, it was with this finger that emperors once gave the sign to execute or pardon, and it is not very convenient to wear rings on it.
Of course, the symbolic meaning of the thumb ring is not the last resort. But it is quite possible that a man subconsciously strives to show just such qualities. And of course, attract more female attention.
How should men wear rings correctly?
There really are no universal rules. First of all, focus on your taste and personality. However, you can try to take into account the situation and surroundings, we will help you with this.
Business meeting or office
Probably, a designer signet on your finger or a ring with a precious stone will make a double impression if your office has a strict dress code. However, if you have a creative profession, then why not?
Social evening, friendly party, date
At a social evening or party, as well as in a company of friends or on a date, original rings will be more than appropriate.
Among the informals
In an informal environment, rings and signets with certain symbols are in use. They are worth wearing to a themed meeting or event.
Forefinger
A man's ring on the index finger clearly declares the ambition of its owner, his desire to rule.
Especially if it is a finger on the right hand. Such people prefer to give orders rather than carry them out; they strive to lead everywhere, even if it is a friendly company. It can be difficult to find compromise solutions with such people.
And sometimes a ring on this finger is worn simply because the shape of the hand does not allow rings on other fingers to look stylish. Or if the owner of the jewelry does not have very large hands. A ring on the index finger visually changes the impression.
