  The nature of my invention is represented in the accompanying drawing, in which a is a finger-ring, the outer surface of which is of plain cylindrical form, and having upon said outer surface a few bars of music engraved thereon. The staff and characters may be enameled in colors, and the general surface of the ring left the natural color of the metal; or the staff and characters may be left the natural color of the metal and the other surface enameled.
