Many people wear rings that have sentimental and/or monetary value. Throughout the day, there are many reasons a ring may be taken off, such as for work, to wash hands, or for security purposes. When the ring is removed, the owner must find a place to store it and runs a risk of forgetting it.

Briefly described according to a preferred embodiment, the ring holder may be made of metal or other strong material, and may consist of bails connected to the base and an opening latch for accessing a perimeter member that circumscribingly forms a retention orifice. The bails may be connected at the top or back of the ring holder. A chain or string may be threaded through the bails and may allow the pendant to be worn as a necklace or bracelet, or attached to other accessories such as a keychain.
The base may be of a design that is made by a metal outline, with a hollow inside. The designs can be simple or complex, so long as a ring can be held.
The opening latch may be built into the body outline. When the latch is open, the body outline may be put through a ring, like putting thread through the eye of a needle. With the ring on the body, the latch may be closed, with the process being reversed to retrieve the ring.
