I'm in my fourties and just divorced. I'm ready to start dating, but I'm clueless as to what various rings on a girls wedding ring finger mean. Aside from the obvious diamond and wedding band on the ring finger, would someone help me de-code some of the various ring configurations?

 

for example,

 

Lady with a solid gold band , No diamond on her ring finger -- "I'm married"??

 

another lady -- large blue amethyst stone on ring finger --- "I'm taken"??

 

Can someone help me crack the code??

Sounds like a wedding band to me.

 

another lady -- large blue amethyst stone on ring finger --- "I'm taken"??

 

This one is more open to interpretation, but wearing a ring on that finger suggests "taken". Keep in mind, people from some cultures wear no wedding ring, or wear it on the other hand.

 

Only one way to find out: Ask her! :)

A ring means everything or it could mean nothing. I agree with XXOO, just ask.

 

I am divorced and I wear all sorts of rings on my ring finger. I feel naked if I dont have a ring (any ring but my wedding and engagement rings) on that finger.

A diamond ring, or a gold/silver band, or both, usually means "Taken". Other types of rings are more difficult to interpret - it could be an engagement ring with an unusual style or stone, or it could just be a regular ring. In this situation you should assume that the person might be taken, and take steps to verify their status before you make a move.
