If you don’t know a lot about the meaning of a diamond wishbone ring, then our piece will take you through everything you need to know about this beautiful piece of jewellery. We'll delve into the rich symbolism behind wishbone rings, share expert tips on how to wear them with elegance and showcase our handpicked selection of favourite wishbone ring pieces that epitomize sophistication and grace.

What is a Wishbone Ring? 

A wishbone ring is a piece of jewellery that features a ‘V’ shape on top of the ring’s design. The ring got its name from the ring’s design which is similar to a wishbone that’s found in a chicken or turkey. The act of pulling a wishbone became a popular Thanksgiving tradition in the USA where two people would break the chicken or turkey’s wishbone. If you had the bigger piece of the wishbone, you would have the ‘lucky break’ and their wishes would eventually come true.

What does a Wishbone Ring Mean?

Wishbone jewellery became popular in the early 1900's - they were commonly found on postcards and greeting cards. Later on, the wishbone became a symbol of love - people would hang wishbones above their door in a bid to find a partner. 

For many people, the wishbone is a symbol of luck. Wishbone jewellery makes a great gift for anniversaries, birthdays and other special occasions. When you combine wishbone rings with diamonds, it is believed that the wearer will have long-lasting luck and happiness. 

The significance of a wishbone or V-ring can be deeply personal, making it a cherished piece of jewellery with a story that transcends its captivating design. So, whether you're drawn to a wishbone ring's cultural significance or the elegance of a V-ring, these jewellery pieces carry a rich and meaningful tradition with them.

How should you wear a Wishbone Ring?

If you've got a wishbone engagement ring, you should put it on after your wedding ring with the ‘V' pointing towards the wrist. If worn on its own, the wishbone ring looks great with the ‘V' pointing towards the top of the finger. However, it is entirely up to you how you choose to wear a wishbone ring.
