atrocious_ar0mantic Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Do any other aro-spec folks wear a white ring on their left middle finger as a subtle way of showing pride? Or as a way to flag down other aro folks? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboticanary Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Sadly not yet. I thought about getting one, then I thought I should just make one. That was about six months ago and I still need to get my crafting brain focused on getting that done rather than the hundred other things I could be doing. Oh well, this always happens and i'm sure I will get it done some day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilse Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Sometimes I think about getting one but get nervous at the thought of being questioned about it, the left middle finger is quite an unusual placement for a ring ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueberrydragon Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I do! I have a ring that is a circle of small, white flowers, which I love because it usually flies under people's radar. :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgi Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) In the beginning I hesitated... both because I was feeling uncertain of my aro identity, but also because having a black ring on my right middle finger and a white one on my left middle finger would attract too much attention, especially as I don't wear jewelry in general... but then, I realized most of the pressure was coming from "what would people think", so I said screw it... and now i have 2 chunky rings on my middle fingers and feel proud ;))) Edited December 3, 2021 by Georgi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apathetic Echidna Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I don't. I used to wear a small engagement ring on that finger because the community was still undecided on colour and placement. Then I stumbled upon a simple black ring I loved and started wearing the ace ring. Now I would only consider an aro ring if it would match the minimalist style and quality of my ace ring. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it? I wasn't much of a ring wearer up until this point, so I never thought to think about it. On 11/17/2021 at 7:06 AM, blueberrydragon said: I do!

Either or, we love that for you. I honestly quite like havin' an aro and an ace ring because it makes me feel ✨balanced ✨ One ring for each hand, and the opposite colors really did it for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rook on the Hook Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I currently wear a black ace ring (despite the fact that I mostly ID as aro with my aceness being a footnote) because it's the more recognized of the two rings and because black rings just look plain awesome, but I have contemplated getting an aro ring. I'm thinking I'm gonna opt for some sort of green metallic ring though, as I've not been able to find any white rings I like the look of, and while black represents aceness on the ace flag, white stands aesthetic and platonic attraction on the aro flag, whereas green is for aromanticism. I was able to find a few with all the flag colors but those were just a touch too blatant for my tastes. Plus I feel like anyone who knows the black ring would be able to deduce the meaning of the green ring. I have also contemplated trying to make my own white ring though, since I feel like with my mini painting skills I could successfully make a white ring that doesn't either look blank and underwhelming or garishly ornate and shiny. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a star Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I'd like to, but I haven't really seen any (probably because I haven't been looking *facepalm*). I've also thought about trying to get enough into metalcrafting that I could make an 'engagement' ring in aroace colours so I won't have to deal with getting asked out again but if its convincing enough I'll attract too much attention in my classes (most of my classmates are older/retired women and the atmosphere is pretty relaxed/friendly, so...) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alto Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I would have to wear it around my neck. I work with my hands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClearSkiesAhear Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Not yet but the minute I see a not-super-expensive white ring you can be sure I’m buying it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewy Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I thought about it a little while ago but felt a bit self conscious about the idea of wearing a white ring but not a black one as I was just coming to terms with being aroallo 0_0 But now I'd probably be more open to it, sounds cute. I need to get myself one at some point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagito Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I was wearing, then I stopped, then I was wearing it again and I stopped totally. I chose wrong size and I'm this lazy to buy new one that I even didn't try to find any auction XD 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger for the Aros Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I made my own using white nail polish and a key ring (I have tiny hands okay) and it works well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClearSkiesAhear Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I recently 3d printed myself one with white PLA filament. It’s actually surprisingly comfortable and I really love it. I now also have 3 extra white rings that technically weren’t failures (we don’t talk about those ones) but weren’t quite good enough to call my final product. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procrastinating Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I want to wear one, but I find there are less options for white rings than other rings. I am still looking for a reasonably priced ring that isn't just a blank silicone ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
root22 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I wear one on my right hand. I'm not ace so the finger isn't "taken" by a black ring or anything. Also since it's my dominant hand I just prefer it there. Bought it on wish and have had it since February 2021. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClearSkiesAhear Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) Not at the moment (i may or may not have accidentally managed to get black sharpie all over it), but I often do wear one. Even if nobody recognizes it, it still makes me happy and that’s reason enough. Edit: upon scrolling up a bit I realized I’ve actually replied to this post a few times throughout the year because I either mistook it for a new thread on the subject or just forgot.

Mihiko Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I don't have one yet. I don't like rings so I'm not sure if I will wear it. However, I really want to somehow show that I'm aromantic in my daily life with a small symbol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lex Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Juste got mine today and I'm loving it : it is a faceted white ceramic ring 6mm wide. I can't wait to see if people notice it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
