A ring is a round band, usually in metal, worn as an ornamental jewellery around the finger, or sometimes the toe.
Description
Strictly speaking a normal ring is a finger ring (which may be hyphenated); other types of rings worn as ornaments are earrings, bracelets for the wrist, armlets or arm rings, toe rings and torc or neck rings, but except perhaps for toe rings, the plain term "ring" is not normally used to refer to these.
Rings are most often made of metal but can be of almost any material: metal, plastic, stone, wood, bone, glass, or gemstone.
They may be set with a stone or stones, often a gemstone such as diamond, ruby, sapphire or emerald.
