A sovereign ring is an article of jewellery worn on the finger ie a "ring". Its primary decorative feature is typically a gold sovereign - either genuine or replica tender - with the obverse face as the visible detail. The coin may be either a sovereign or half sovereign. In the United Kingdom it is also common to use custom coinage bearing such motifs as the 'Three Lions', or other similar imagery as Saint George, or a Welsh Dragon.
