Well, I see where rings are given in offerings, where rings are threatened to be confiscated, along with practically everything else, for not toeing the line, and the other mentions are fairly matter-of-fact, but the ring owners in question are kings, rulers, or otherwise wealthy.

And we all know that it is easier to get a camel through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Based on all that, it looks to me like you are saying that rings are shown to be a burden and are associated with the self-righteous wealthy and the church in her seasons of hedonism.

Did I get that right?
