Why a Ring? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

In my opinion for three reasons:
firstly, rings are just mysterious things...whenever you think of tribal dances etc. they're in a ring shape, and its like a hole...something hidden or concealed.
Secondly, The eye of sauron is an eye shape (duh), and the closest object he could have used to an eye is a ring. How very symbolic.
Thirdly, and here Im going to regurgetate what others said: it had to be harmless, had to symbolise comittment, had to be on the hand, etc.
