cursed ring

Jinxed finger loop

A cursed ring is a piece of finger jewelry bearing a supernatural affliction—typically from folklore, fantasy fiction, or games.

The wearer suffers misfortune, compulsion, or corruption, and often cannot remove the ring by ordinary means.

The One Ring in Tolkien's work is the archetypal example.

In gaming, cursed rings impose penalties or unwanted effects until the curse is lifted: I equipped a cursed ring and now I can't take it off.
