Have you ever come across a woman wearing a ring, maybe simple or adorned with a single stone, on her pinky finger? It’s easy to make assumptions based on how pinky rings are depicted in movies and media, but contrary to these portrayals, a pinky ring is not a sign of secretive affiliations. Rather, today, both single women and those in relationships are choosing pinky rings for an entirely different, heartfelt reason—they symbolize a promise, not to a partner, but a promise of self-love.
