Why is everyone wearing black rings?

It seems like more and more often when I see people on a video or being interviewed on TV or whatever, someone is wearing a black ring. Usually on the index finger but not always.

Does a black ring actually mean something or is that just a current fashion fad?

I also see a lot of rings on index fingers or even thumbs, that may or may not be black. Do they mean anything?

Thanks

Could be Oura rings? Those smart devices that track vitals. Samsung also has one.

I didn't even think of that. But in most cases I'm seeing black ones, as if the color is important.

I know a lot of folks use a silicone band to stand in for their wedding bands especially when they work a more physical job where a nice ring would get damaged

Or where it is dangerous to wear metal. I always had to remove mine when working on high voltage electronics. Eventually swapped to a wood one

Fitness rings - like Oura

My black ring is an Oura. They offer multiple colors and finishes. There are also rings like Enso Rings which are like rubber, and other non-metal types that are good for working out and other times where you don't want a metal ring.

Our wedding rings from Thorum have dinosaur fossil bits. 💥🦕🦖

Dark Titanium is cool now.

Black Lanterns in disguise.
