Why you shouldn't try on someone else's ring: what to do if you find a lost piece of jewelry

There are numerous superstitions associated with rings, contributing to the longstanding belief that one should avoid trying on other people's jewelry. This belief is particularly pronounced with silver jewelry, thought to possess strong purifying properties.

It is believed that silver jewelry carries potent energy, leading superstitious individuals to craft amulets and talismans from this metal. OBOZREVATEL delves into whether trying on someone else's ring is permissible and offers guidance on what to do if you find a lost piece of jewelry.

Whose ring you absolutely cannot try on

It is commonly asserted that it is safe to try on and wear the rings of your mother, grandmother, or godmother. However, caution is advised when attempting to try on your mother-in-law's ring, as it is believed this may lead to quarrels and arguments in the couple. Jewelry belonging to a male relative is considered neutral, with the energy depending on the individual owner.

While it is deemed safe to wear your own sister's ring, it is strictly forbidden to wear a cousin's ring, as doing so may bring about health problems.

Using second-hand rings or trying on other people's jewelry is generally discouraged, as superstitions suggest it could attract bad luck.

Can you pick up a found ring from the ground

According to beliefs, finding a ring on the road is considered a sign of success and good luck in business. However, caution is advised when picking up wedding rings or jewelry with the inscription 'Save and Preserve,' as such rings are believed to belong entirely to the owner and may bring bad luck to an outsider.

Losing a wedding ring or letting someone else try it on is believed to lead to problems in the marriage and an early divorce.

Finding an engagement ring is considered a good omen for success in love or career. Conversely, losing a ring given as an engagement gift is thought to foreshadow quarrels and separation.
