No finger truly attracts money. That said, several old traditions tie wealth to one finger in particular, usually the index. These are beliefs, not facts, so wear your ring wherever it feels right and take the meaning as a bit of fun.
Different traditions tell it differently. Here is the gist.
Palmistry
Western palmistry calls the index finger the "Jupiter finger" and links it to ambition, leadership, and prosperity. A ring there is said to back your drive and confidence.
Vedic astrology
In Vedic tradition, each finger answers to a planet: the index to Jupiter, the middle to Saturn, the ring finger to the Sun, the little finger to Mercury. Since Jupiter is the planet of abundance, the index finger again ends up carrying the money association.
Feng shui
Feng shui is where it gets muddier, because the sources do not agree. Some say the little finger guards wealth, some put the Pixiu wealth ring on the middle finger, and others point to the ring finger. In other words, take your pick.
So which finger should I choose?
If the symbolism matters to you, the index finger is the one most traditions agree on. If it doesn't, go with comfort and style instead. A meaningful ring you actually wear will always beat a "lucky" one sitting in a drawer. Browse our spinner rings and faith spinner rings.
Is there a Jewish view on rings and luck?
Jewish tradition tends to favor meaning over luck. Rather than a charm, many people pick a ring engraved with a phrase like "this too shall pass" and wear it as a daily reminder. See our Hebrew spinner rings, made to order in real, solid metal by The Honest Jeweler.
