To explain the meanings of the fingers we should get a general idea of what the two hands may symbolise. This is based on dominance obviously, since most people are right hand dominant that is how the info will be presented.
If you are left-handed then switch it.
If you are ambidextrous lucky you :D but I don't think the specifications of Left or Right will apply.
Left Hand (non-dominant)
The "Princess-hand" I only learned this term recently.
The weaker hand, a little less coordinated but can still perform regular tasks.
Meanings
Character and beliefs, Faith
Right Hand (dominant)
Main hand, main squeeze, my right hand...hand(man) ahaha I'm corny. :D
The stronger hand, throws straight, superhand.. damn you so coordinated. Write that 4 page essay in 30mins.
Meanings
The physical hand, greater visibility, Will
The Thumb
A ring on the thumb can symbolise many different things among which are freedom, strength, courage, willpower, individualism and independence. A strong finger separate from the other fingers and this may be how the various meanings came about.
Separated/Divorced women in some cultures wear right thumb rings.
Gay persons may wear thumb rings to portray their orientation in some societies.
For men a thumb ring can show wealth depending on the thickness of the band.
In palmistry: a ring on the right thumb expresses rationality and independence. Fortune, Academic success(Chinese)
So if you are an independent, logical person you may be drawn to thumb rings.
The Pointer/Index/Forefinger
One of the stronger fingers it is associated with goals and ambition.We use it to point at things, to say what we want or show a direction.
Like the things it does a ring here can symbolise desire for success or that the wearer is driven and ambitious or even possesses leadership qualities(right hand).
A ring on this finger can also aid in focus.
In palmistry: Spirituality, Confidence, Ambition, Ego. Desire for domination/power/enterprise(Chinese)
If you have a goal or want to become more driven or just have a focal piece, a ring on this finger is best. My right index finger is one of my favourite fingers for rings. A ring here will always be seen.
The centre of the fingers, it represents self. Purpose. Masculine in nature. A bit beat up if you write a lot without protection :(
A meaningful ring is suggested for this finger. Something that tells of your persona; a Birthstone,a custom piece, a quirky piece or an impulse buy that you had to have.
For men a simple ring is suggested.
In palmistry: Responsibility, Discipline, Balance, Destiny(Chinese)
This is a nice spot for a ring that doesn't tarnish since it will be getting much abrasion.
The finger of loveee and commitment. A little weaker than the rest for most people.

The Middle Finger
The centre of the fingers, it represents self. Purpose. Masculine in nature. A bit beat up if you write a lot without protection :(A meaningful ring is suggested for this finger.

The Fourth/Ring Finger
The finger of loveee and commitment. A little weaker than the rest for most people.
When you think of the types of rings that are worn on the Ring finger the meaning comes to light.
Chastity, Promise, Engagement and Wedding rings are worn on this finger.
It's a pretty important finger when it comes to symbolism so to avoid any *gasps* "You're engaged!" I suggest wearing an obvious non-engagement ring. Stay away from clear, focal, gem-cut stones or plain bands. Wear a creative or obviously handmade piece on this finger.
In palmistry: Creativity, Emotional expression. Lover/Family ties(Chinese)
The Little/Pinky Finger
The smallest, the baby finger. You made promises with it as a child. Very important in piano playing or drawing/painting (speaking from experience)
Like the Index this finger can serve as a place for a focal piece or statement piece, a flashy thing. It will be seen by people looking at you from afar.
Certain professions wear rings from their school on their pinky fingers. A ring on this finger may also symbolise someone that is gay in some beliefs.
In palmistry: Intelligence, Intuition, Communication, Persuasion, Children/Younger generation(Chinese)
Anyone remembers Dr.Evil and his pinky finger? ^o^
