Rings are extremely common pieces of jewellery that often carry some special significance to a person, especially if it was given to them by another person they care for. Rings are usually designed to be worn on fingers, but in this case a character opts for a less conventional approach, instead wearing a ring on a necklace like a pendant. This is often done to keep whoever gave them the ring symbolically close to them, while not having it more obviously on-show for personal reasons. Common reasons include: A character gets engaged or married in secret; as a result, they might wear an engagement or wedding ring on a necklace tucked out of sight, seeing as wearing it on their finger would kinda give away the 'secret' part. This tends to be more common in stories with historical or fantasy settings, though it's not unheard of in more modern/mundane settings if the relationship is secret for some reason. A character's significant other has died. They may not want to wear a ring of commitment on their finger anymore — especially as this tends to invite awkward questions about their relationship status — but they still want it close to them, so wearing it on a necklace is their next best bet. In this case, it can potentially symbolise that the character still misses their lost love, but may be willing to move on (which is likely good news for another character intending to woo them). Alternatively, it might be their loved one's ring rather than their own, and it's either the wrong size or they just don't feel comfortable wearing it on their hand. The character wants the ring with them at all times but just doesn't want to risk it getting lost, damaged, or stolen, especially if they work with their hands a lot. It could also be that the ring wasn't originally designed/bought for them, so it won't fit on their finger. This is especially so if a child is given an adult's ring (often a parent's); they may plan on wearing the ring on their hand once they're older, though not always. In more fantastical settings the ring might be enchanted or cursed. If it only activates when worn on a finger, this might be done to keep it close without activating its properties, as per the The Lord of the Rings example used as the page image. In games where the player has a set number of equipment slots for rings, if there's also a slot for amulets this might be permitted as a way to use one more ring than normally allowed. Although a lot of examples involve wedding/engagement rings and romantic relationships, it's not exclusive to this; the ring just has to hold some kind of importance or sentimental value to the character. More rarely, the necklace itself (such as a chain, a length of ribbon, etc) may also have some significance to the wearer. A Sub-Trope of Meaningful Appearance. Compare and contrast with Fashion-Based Relationship Cue, which this trope occasionally overlaps with. This trope also has a good chance of overlapping with Tragic Keepsake and Orphan's Plot Trinket. Not to be confused with Ring Around the Collar. |

In the manga adaptation of The Decagon House Murders, Van wears one of these. It makes him look rather fashionable. It's also of the Secret Relationship type, half of a pair he'd exchanged with his Lost Lenore Chiyori, who he's committing the murders to avenge. Chiyori's ring was passed down to her Best Friend Orczy, which is why Van killed her first: the ring was engraved with his and Chiyori's initials, so it would give away his motive if anyone noticed it. Van killed her first and chopped off her hand (just stealing the ring would have just drawn attention to it) to ensure nobody else saw it. | |

In the Dangerverse, all members of the Pack have magic necklaces that were made from rings which had great value to them* the adults used their wedding rings, Harry and Hermione used their parents' wedding rings, and Draco and Megan used family heirloom rings.

Far Cry 3 has a more creepy variation than is typical. Buck wears a chrome ring around his neck like a necklace. In the '90s, gay men used to wear chrome cock rings around their necks as a statement of their sexuality and as a fashion accessory. What makes it creepy is that it's an extremely subtle and disturbing indicator of why he bought Keith as a slave in the first place and what horrors Keith is enduring during Jason's missions. | |

In The Lord of the Rings, Frodo wears the One Ring on a chain around his neck. This is fully justified, as putting on the Ring causes the wearer to become more vulnerable to both the Ring's powers and to detection by Sauron. It also decreases the chance of the Ring escaping by slipping out of a pocket, as it did with Gollum. It further symbolises how Frodo is literally and figuratively "chained" to the Ring and the burden it is to him. | |

Jorah and Daario find the ring and return it to her, after which she wears it around her neck on a cord for most of Season 6. In this situation, Daenerys doesn't have anything else to wear but Dothraki clothing (her other clothing was either damaged or taken from her), but she makes sure part of her Targaryen heritage is close to her at all times. | |

The Crow: After retrieving the engagement ring he gave to his murdered fiancée Shelly, Eric wears it on a chain because the ring is likely too small to fit on his fingers and he has to get his hands dirty avenging both their deaths. He eventually gives the ring and necklace to his young friend Sarah, saying he thinks Shelly would've wanted her to have it. Eric himself no longer needs the ring because he hopes to be reunited with Shelly soon enough. Sarah wears it around her neck too, probably because the ring wouldn't fit her child-sized fingers, plus in this case, the ring is being given as a symbol of friendship and parental-like love. | |

Ophelia: When Ophelia and Hamlet marry in secret, he gives her one of his rings as a wedding ring and she wears it on a ribbon tucked beneath her bodice; the ribbon itself holds significance to her as Hamlet took it from her hair as a love token. Unfortunately, Claudius isn't too concerned about her personal space; when he sees the ribbon he pulls the ring out and immediately deduces Hamlet gave it to her, leading him to assume they're plotting against him together and thus putting Ophelia in grave danger. | |

In Forever, widow Jo Martinez constantly wears her wedding ring on a necklace and occasionally touches it, especially when she's thinking about her late husband. During their first meeting, Henry notices and remarks upon it, saying he's sorry for her loss. When she asks how he could know she's a widow, he explains that the tan line on her ring finger indicates she wore a wedding band up until recently "but most divorcees don't wear their wedding band around their necks". | |

In Paradise Killer, Lady Love Dies wears a ring - presumably the one Isiah gave to her when they got engaged - on a thin chain over her robes. They've been broken up for a very long time, but she has difficulty moving on. Antagonists know better than to tease her over it, though. | |

In A Bride's Story, when Talas catches up with Henry and he pledges to marry her, the only thing he has on him to give to her as proof of his commitment is his signet ring with his family's crest on it. Because it's far too large for her finger, Talas threads it into the cord of an amulet she wears around her neck instead. | |

The Ring of the Awakened, a DLC accessory in Dragon Age II is worn in the neck slot rather than one of the two ring slots as its name would imply. This has annoyed many players because Anders' neck accessory is better reserved for something that improves his healing abilities, which are almost never found as rings. So the Ring of the Awakened would be a very useful accessory if not for this trope. | |

Dark Skies: One of the very few things that Lydia has with her when she gets teleported to Mudamora is a ring with a huge diamond that her foster father has given her. After she sells it to Helene Torrington and then Killian buys it back for her she starts wearing it as a pendant on her neck because she cannot bear to part with it but she also cannot show it to anyone. And then it becomes a Chekhov's Gun when Hacken Calorian rips it off her neck and shows it to Princess Malahi as the proof that Killian is in love with Lydia and not Malahi. | |

The Phantom of the Opera: Christine agrees to marry Raoul but she insists on keeping their engagement a secret, especially as she's concerned about how the Phantom will react. As a result, she wears her engagement ring on a necklace so it's less conspicuous. It doesn't work: when the Phantom dramatically reappears at a masquerade ball, he lets Christine know that he's aware of her engagement and of his opinion on the matter by ripping the necklace off. | |
