Good points. But I think the ring was chosen because yes it is smaller and it does signify power. Where as a sword or another weapon, well, is just a weapon. And it wouldn'r make sense either. It would be esier to have sword knocked out of your hands then to have a ring knocked off your finger. Rings go around forever and don't end, just like power, and the one ring looked plain. But actually it was more fine and perfect and universal, since it looked the same on any given part of it. And think of wedding rings. When a couple walks around with it on, it shows that they belong to each other and its kind of saying 'hands off' to others. The one ring was saying 'hands off' to others concerning power. Rings to me seem much more simpler and complex at the same time, so all in all, to me rings seem special. And rings are more of an accesory. It adds special attributes to the possesor. If you've ever played Diablo I or II, you'll know what I'm talking about. The ring will give you special effects and attributes depending on what it is. A weapon will mainly increase your offense. And if its a ruling ring, then its has to be better and more universal to your attributes. I'm getting confused myself so I'll stop.
