A finger ring as the name suggests is a piece of jewellery or ornament in the shape of the band that is worn around the finger. It consists of a circlet of precious metal (often set with jewels) worn on the finger. Rings are essentially worn by both men and women. Rings can be made of metal, plastic, wood, bone, glass, gemstone and other materials. They may be set with a "stone" of some sort, which is often a precious or semi-precious gemstone such as ruby, sapphire or emerald, among other gems or stones. Rings can be worn on any finger for that matter; however there are special rings to worn for special occasions like engagements or marriages or even for religious purposes.
