annulet

Tiny circular band

An annulet is a small ring or ring-shaped object.

In heraldry, it's a small circle used as a charge or cadency mark—typically indicating a fifth son.

In architecture, an annulet is a small flat band encircling a column, especially the fillets separating the flutes on a Doric capital.
