A ring is a circular band, typically made of metal, worn on the finger as a symbol of love, commitment, fashion, or cultural significance. Rings can be simple and minimalistic or ornate and richly adorned with gemstones such as diamonds, rubies, or emeralds. Common types include engagement rings, wedding bands, cocktail rings, and signet rings. They are made from a variety of materials, including gold, silver, platinum, and modern alternatives like titanium or stainless steel. Rings serve both decorative and symbolic purposes, often marking milestones, status, or personal style.
