Any chance find, especially a precious one, evokes joy and belief in one’s luck. It seems that a chain, earring or ring picked up on the road will bring good luck and even benefit (albeit short-term).

However, there are many beliefs and superstitions associated with lost and found jewelry that should not be ignored. In particular, this is associated with wedding rings , because they have special energy.

Why find an engagement ring - what do the signs say?

Even in ancient times, this symbol of marriage and the union of two destinies appeared not only in various superstitions, but in fortune telling and even rituals. Unmarried girls tried to find out the name of their betrothed, married girls tried to attract good luck for their man.

Unfortunately, not all rituals had a positive message. With the help of wedding rings, people tried to correct and improve their failed destinies, “dumping” all troubles and negativity onto an ordinary-looking ring in the hope that someone would take the ring for themselves along with the burden of misfortune and failure.

Dangers and Warnings

The sign of finding an engagement ring can have both positive and negative meaning. It all depends on where and under what circumstances the jewelry was found, and for what purpose it was picked up. As a rule, all rituals associated with rings exclude accidents - the places for “dropping” the enchanted item require some effort to get there.

You should be wary if you find a ring:

  • at an intersection, especially a sparsely populated one,
  • buried under a tree,
  • in a hard-to-reach place in your own home (in the far corner, under the bed, etc.).

In such cases, signs and superstitions are not on the side of the finder, since there is a high risk of receiving a charmed piece of jewelry that bears the imprint of the misfortunes of the past owner (serious illness, reduced damage, or simply crippled fate).

Even the most beautiful and expensive ring is not worth the troubles it can bring into your life.

Find a ring - what does it mean?

Ancestors believed that finding beautiful jewelry was a good omen that promised improvements in love, financial and professional spheres. But its interpretation depends on many circumstances - the type of metal, the location of the find.

Golden

In Ancient Greece and Egypt, gold products were considered a symbol of endless power, luck and material wealth. Such a find will bring only good luck to its new owner. The interpretation of the sign depends on who exactly found the ring:

  • a single woman - for an imminent wedding or a meeting with the love of her life;
  • single man - a woman will appear in your life whom you will love with all your soul;
  • married woman - it is possible that a quick addition to the family, an improvement in the relationship with her husband;
  • a married man - to strengthen family ties, a long and happy married life, and improved financial situation.

If a child finds a piece of jewelry, it portends good luck and a quick recovery in case of illness.

Silver

Silver jewelry is used in magical rituals to heal mental and physical illnesses. If you find a silver ring, do not rush to get rid of it. The find promises:

  • healing from illnesses;
  • easy problem resolution;
  • expensive gifts from friends;
  • pleasant news from relatives;
  • career advancement;
  • successful conclusion of contracts at work;
  • improvement of psycho-emotional state.

Decoration with a red stone portends pregnancy for women, material profit for men, and good health for children. If an elderly person finds a ring, it becomes a talisman for him. Such a find will protect against serious illnesses and mental sadness.

Engagement

Wedding rings are extremely rarely damaged, so there is no need to be afraid of them. The sign portends exclusively positive changes in life. Interpretation depends on gender and social status.

What does the find promise:

  • for a married man - improving the microclimate in the family, quickly achieving success in business;
  • for a married woman - addition to the family, material wealth, peace of mind;
  • for a widow - quick healing of emotional wounds, support for loved ones;
  • for a widower - a new marriage, moving to another city, moving to a better job.

If the ring has defects - dents, scratches - its magical properties do not suffer from this. When a person finds a hoop, it always portends positive changes in life.

Ring

A ring is a ring with a precious stone, which is worn primarily on the index finger of the dominant hand. The little thing has strong energy, so the find promises dramatic changes in a person’s life. It will protect the new owner from diseases, the evil eye, and misfortunes.

According to popular belief, the discovery of a ring foreshadows:

  • meeting with your loved one;
  • cash winnings;
  • expensive gifts;
  • strengthening your financial situation;
  • harmony in family relationships;
  • train to another country.

Rings promise prosperity and luck in any endeavor. If you are faced with a problem that you could not cope with, it will soon be resolved in your favor.

Favorable signs and beliefs

Contrary to the above, the discovery of a wedding ring is associated not only with illness and damage. After all, this decoration itself is a symbol of love, affection and fidelity; accordingly, its initial energy is positive. If the location of the find is not suspicious, and you are sure that the ring was lost by chance, you can consider the day successful.

There are many favorable signs for finding an engagement ring:

  1. An unmarried girl will soon meet her betrothed, and an unmarried man will find his soul mate.
  2. If the finder already has a loved one in his life, then the wedding is just around the corner.
  3. This is a sure sign that there will soon be a new addition to the family.
  4. A gold product promises prosperity and prosperity in the family.

It is important that the found ring is well preserved; damage and a heavily worn appearance ruin its positive effect.

Remember that even in these cases you are not immune from the tricks of fate. As you know, gold is the guardian of the energy of its owner , his character and life path. Therefore, adherents of old beliefs do not recommend picking up wedding jewelry found even at random, much less trying on and wearing them.

Signs: Is it possible to wear a found ring?

Superstitious people advise not to rush to pick up and try on the jewelry. You can just be happy. A good sign that financial success, happiness in your personal life and well-being await you. And pass by.

If the piece of jewelry is strongly caught, is valuable as a work of art or an antique, then it should be taken depending on the circumstances of its discovery.

Important! You cannot pick up decorations from an intersection.

If the location of the find does not cause concern, then the product can be taken, but should be worn after undergoing the consecration ceremony in the church. This will remove the negative impact from the precious item. You don’t know anything about the previous owner, maybe he was very sick or had a bad character. The energy remains on the decoration. The procedure of melting the product will help neutralize the energy.

What is the right way to deal with a found ring?

And yet, few of those who find an engagement ring, especially a very elegant and expensive one, will be able to simply pass it by. If you are not a follower of such signs and superstitions, no one forbids you from simply picking up a find and enjoying your luck (moreover, this does not entail any legal or economic liability).

Those who are still susceptible to fears and uncertainty can follow a few tips and tricks designed to deceive fate and protect themselves from bad consequences.

So, what to do with a found engagement ring if you don’t want to pass by:

  1. Do not handle it with your hands - it is better to wear gloves or wrap the jewelry in a piece of cloth. The absence of direct contact with gold will not harm your energy.
  2. Blessed in church - if you intend to keep the ring in its original form (and even wear it), you need to get rid of the possible burden of past owners.
  3. Melt it down at a jeweler - in this way, the metal will be cleansed of foreign energy, and the new jewelry will not cause harm.
  4. Taking it to a pawnshop will not only help you get rid of a dubious item, but will also bring financial benefits.

Finding a ring - signs and warnings

The ring has always been a constant companion of fortune-telling; with its help, people learned the future, protected themselves from witchcraft, received good luck from the Universe and used it for many other purposes. These goals were not always positive for the person who was lucky enough to find the ring, which is why signs warn against wearing such items. Jewelry made of silver or gold is sometimes subject to damage or illness, and it can pass on to the person who finds it. Signs of finding a gold or silver ring at a crossroads are especially warning. Objects that participated in various rituals are usually left at crossroads. As mentioned above, you cannot know for sure what properties your find may have. Therefore, at intersections you cannot pick up not only coins, but also any other objects, including rings.

Another sign about rings says that you should not try on other people's rings. It is believed that they are so saturated with the energy of their former or current owners that it can affect those who do it. If you try on the found ring, someone else's energy will transfer to you. This is reflected in different ways, sometimes even positively, but this is not a very common occurrence.

The question arises - what to do if a person has found an expensive ring and really doesn’t want to leave it on the ground? Actually, it's better to do nothing and pass by. Perhaps the consequences of taking this thing for yourself will cost more than it is worth. Some believe that the ring can be taken to church and blessed there. Then it will be cleansed of all the negativity that it may contain, and it will be possible to wear it. Sometimes it is advised to melt down the find so that it loses its energy charge.

Our ancestors considered the discovery of jewelry a good omen. In addition, there are places where it is relatively safe to take a found item, for example, transport, a bench in a park or on the beach. If you are sure that it was not left with malicious intent, you can take it. But, nevertheless, it is better to take it to church and ask the priest to bless it, and only then wear it. Before that, try not to handle the find with your hands; for example, you can use a napkin or piece of cloth.

Why do you dream about such a find?

Even in dreams, a wedding ring is a very important symbol and the subject of various interpretations. As a rule, they are of the most positive nature. For women, such a dream is a harbinger of peace and prosperity in the family, for unmarried girls it promises a quick wedding, for men - good news and success in business.

In conclusion, I would like to note that not a single sign or superstition etched in one’s memory should seriously influence one’s life and deprive one of the opportunity to make volitional decisions. By listening more often to your own desires and premonitions, you will retain the possibility of making a reasonable choice, and will be favorable to any signs of fate.

Why find a gold ring, silver

Finding gold is the key to a prosperous life; it is a good sign and predicts wealth for the family. In Rus', a found silver or gold ring was considered a harbinger of serious changes for the better in one’s personal life.

A ring with a fallen stone predicts a miscarriage, a frozen pregnancy in a woman or in the companion of the man who found the item. If the stone in the decoration is intact, the sign portends an easy pregnancy.

If you find a large ring, you will be able to achieve success in an area that is important to you.

Italy was the first to decorate wedding rings with precious stones. Initially, a signet with the family coat of arms was used instead.

According to one sign, finding a precious ring means not learning a lesson well. There will be a repeat of the situation. Try to react to what happened differently this time than last time. Perhaps this is what higher powers are waiting for.

A woman's silver ring indicates the appearance of a philanthropist, adviser, mentor in life. If the jewelry is well preserved, such a person can be trusted. Scratched, burst, worn - a new acquaintance will look for benefits in communication.

A silver ring for men is a sign of reconciliation with loved ones. Gold rings for the stronger sex have long been considered good talismans that will help strengthen family life.
