It's not even known whether Saruman mixed orcs and men to get the uruk-hai, it's assumed and probably the likely choice, but it's not certain. So, I doubt whether there's any mention of Saruman's ring inabling him to create the race. Also, with the ornament comment, Saruman was from Aule, like Sauron, both naturally being greedy.
As I've said, you can choose to believe what you want since I don't have any quotes at my disposal. I knew very well that Saruman was from the house of Aule, which is why I said that this wouldn't be impossible for Saruman to replicate, even of a lesser measure, the might of the great rings. Remember when Gandalf saw Saurman's clothes changing color... & then he spotted the ring. He wouldn't have forged a ring just for vanity's sake now would he?
