The hands are not bad. I would make a couple of observations. The hand on our right, the split fingers don't look natural. The middle finger seems to be taking a bend. For this relaxed hand pose it looks a little contrived. The other comment would be that the overall skin tone of the subject is smooth and without the splotches which are apparent on the hands. I think if you just knocked off some of the blotches the hands would be very believable.
About going back and painting the rings after the hand is dry. I find that when you do this the rings will have a pasted on look. I think it's better to incorporate them in when laying in the flesh tone.
