Unrelated to [[Rings of Death]], which are more like hoops. Though distinct, may overlap with [[Amplifier Artifact]] if the ring also enhances already possessed powers.
 
Compare [[Mask of Power]], [[Tricked -Out Gloves]], [[Crystal Skull]].
 
Despite the name, [[Green Lantern Ring]] is not actually a [[Sub -Trope]] of this. The [[Trope Namer]] for that trope, however, ''is'' an example of this one.

== Live Action TV ==
 
* In ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'', [[The Master]] has one of these. {{spoiler|he stored his life force into his ring and was brought back through it.}}
* In ''[[Supernatural]]'', each [[Horsemen of the Apocalypse]] has one. They use them to control their element (ex:War's causes people to [[Hate Plague|kill each other]], Famine's makes people [[I'm a Humanitarian|really hungry]]...). But more importantly for the protagonists, {{spoiler|they are the keys to [[Sealed Evil in A Can|seal Lucifer in his cage]].}}
* In the ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' episode "Demons", the Canon has a ring that can summon lightning bolts.

== Webcomics ==
* ''[[Homestuck]]'': the White Queen and Black Queen both possess rings which transfer the powers and physical properties of [[Spirit Advisor|all pre-entry sprite prototypings]] onto the body of the ring-wearer, [[One-Winged Angel|resulting in]] a [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]] sort of appearance and power array. It also seems to provide significant power of its own - the "Red Miles" blast it generates is enough to cause severe damage to the Battlefield and completely destroy Prospit. In the kids' session, [[The Starscream|Jack Noir]] claimed the Black Queen's ring as his own after he snapped and murdered her. [[Omnicidal Maniac|Mass]] [[Earthshattering Kaboom|destruction]] [[It Got Worse|ensued]]. In the trolls' session, he would've attempted to do the same after [[Enemy Mine|aiding the trolls]] in deposing the Black Queen, and they had to take extra care to ensure he didn't get it, culminating in [[Shout -Out|throwing it into the volcano on Kanaya's planet]].
* This One Ring in ''[[Nodwick]]''. Subverted in that the ring didn't actually have any power, only a legend that implied that it had great power. Nodwick was the only person to realize that the power of This One Ring stemmed entirely from the fact that everyone incorrectly believed that the legend was true.
* In ''[[Goblins]]'' Minmax's group encounters an alternate version of themselves who come from a reality where magic rings are extremely common. Alternate Forgath has a magical staff which allows him to simultaneously use more than the standard ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' two due to having his severed finger attached to it, while their Minmax wears a number of them bandolier-style, presumably to allow him to easily swap out whichever he needs.
