You should put something in the picture for size reference (a ruler maybe). I couldn't tell if these were finger-sized rings or if these were more like bangles/bracelets. It doesn't say anything about size in the article.

From the article:

The Iron Ring is worn on the little finger ("pinky") of the working (dominant) hand

The article states that the ring is to be worn on the pinky of the dominant hand.

The explanation I heard for this (from an engineer coworker) was that it's meant to be a reminder that whenever you sign off on a design or report, you are doing so as an Engineer, not merely as yourself, and that it's therefore a reminder to take things seriously.
