Ring, circular band of gold, silver, or some other precious or decorative material that is worn on the finger. Basically, a ring consists of three parts: the circle, or hoop; the shoulders; and the bezel. The circle can have a circular, semicircular, or square cross-section, or it can be shaped as a flat band. The shoulders consist of a thickening or enlargement of the circle wide enough to support the bezel. The bezel is the top part of a ring; it may simply be a flat table, or it may be designed to hold a gem or some other ornament.

Cultural Examples
Ring is a piece of jewellery that is worn on the fingers, most commonly on the left finger. In some cultures, rings are also worn on the thumbs, on the index fingers, or on the middle fingers. Rings are often made of precious metals, such as gold, silver, or platinum, and they can be adorned with precious or semi-precious stones. Rings are worn by both men and women, although the styles and meanings of rings vary depending on the culture. In some cultures, rings are simply a fashion accessory, while in others, they may signify a person’s social status, marital status, or religious beliefs. Rings are typically made to be worn on the left ring finger because it is the finger closest to the heart. The left ring finger is also the traditional finger for engagement and wedding rings. In many cultures, the ring is a symbol of eternal love and commitment.
