A ring is typically a round band of metal that's worn as decorative jewellery, especially around the fingers. However, the term 'ring' usually refers only to finger jewellery, so if worn elsewhere on the body like earrings, neckbands, arm rings, or toe rings, those parts need to be specified. Rings always snugly fit around the body part they decorate, which is why loose bands are not considered rings. Most any durable material can be used to make a ring - wood, bone, stone, metal, glass, gemstones, or plastic - and many types of stone or glass are suitable for inlays too. Some rings also have valuable gems like diamonds, rubies, sapphires, or emeralds set into them, adding more style and glamour. Wearing a ring as simply a decorative piece or as an ostentatious display of wealth is one reason many people sport them. In various other cases though, such jewellery holds symbolic meaning, often indicating union through marriage, recognition for remarkable feats, a position of importance, affiliation with an organization, or spiritual beliefs, depending on its purpose. Some types of ring also possess compartments to stash small items inside, like secret hiding places in wax seals where information can be stored discreetly. Even mythology is full of magical rings with mysterious powers.
