Summary: 

While we're on the subject of decoding sartorial messages, I'd like to receive 
a consensus from the net sagacity on whatever meanings may be attributed to 
the manner and locations in which jewelry, specifically rings, are worn.

Enlightenment in this newsgroup in the past has come on such subjects as the
significance of certain kinds and colors of flowers, and now on neckties (I 
presume that's what we're talking about. :-), subjects on which until then I 
was blissfully ignorant. 

I have in the past noted that on occasion the position and style of rings 
varied in no readily discernable pattern, and wondered whether it was the 
observer (me) or the wearer who was unaware of what, if anything, was being 
communicated.

I might also refer interested readers to Miss Manners' Guide to Excruciatingly 
Correct Behavior on the subject of turning cards to convey messages equally 
surreptitiously .
